Abstract: Projective Identification is one of the central concepts in
Kleinian psychoanalytic theory. This paper seeks to give a broad
overview of the concept, its usage and different interpretations, and
set them in a context which should be useful for students of
Psycho-Social and Psychoanalytic Studies. It addresses some of the
main arguments and controversies which surround the concept and
attempts to unravel the complexity of the idea, suggesting that it is
an invaluable tool in the investigation of the psychodynamics of the
social world.
