MUSUMELI, Lucrecia Aurora y SOUBIATE, Susana Electra. The notion of Projective Identification as basis of the approach to madness in the English School of psychoanalysis. Anu. investig. [online]. 2005, vol.12, pp.257-263. ISSN 1851-1686.
Analysts from the English school have opened, taking as point of departure transference situations in which are present hallucinatory or confusional status of mind, ways of thought that both shed light on a fundamental dimension of de analytic transference and allow to tackle madness in a new way. The cornerstone of this advance was Klein's notion of Projective Identification, whose rejection (denial) is jointly responsible of a practice which oscillates between speculations about the ultimate ratio of madness - whose compensation lies in the psychiatric knowledge about psychosis - and therapeutic activism which, at best, is only able to clinically reinstall the coordinates previously unleashed. In Klein's mind, the appearance of Projective Identification hinders the anchorage of self's symbolization, promotes an excess of self-mutilating evacuation (similar to Ferenczi's splitting) and weakens symbolization. Although, in Klein's view, the Projective Identification was conceived as a basic defense, it acquires the paradoxical quality of being as openly risky as potentially fruitful, like any operation that tries to revert the same thing that feeds it. Its emergence in the cure demands a conduct that combines both, abstinence and accommodation.
