Projection

What is projection as a defense mechanism? How is it different than projective identification?

Psychoanalysis should be free! From this motto, we're looking at making the insights of more than a century of psychoanalytic understanding available to anyone and everywhere.

Hello, I have a question.

Before actually looking up what "Projective Identification" is, I always imagined it in this scenario.

I project my thoughts, feelings onto person A. And then I Identify with person A (we can call person A an object, so we can view this aspect as object identification which is what happens according to Freud in Melancholia).

Is this still projective identification? Is this just regular projection? The interesting aspect to me is that there is a transitive aspect, I can only identify with the thoughts, feelings when they have been projected onto person A.

Thanks!

Projection. Work through Self Reflection and Confrontation.
Projective Identification. Sending the dis ease into another individual. The other individual then takes up the unbearable state of feeling.

I thought projection is a IMMATURE defense mechanism rather then a Neurotic mechanism?
