    • To analyze the formation of the superego through introjection.
    • To investigate the function of projective identification and its challenge to primary narcissism.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical analysis of psychoanalytic concepts.
    • Examination of identification, introjection, and projection mechanisms.
    • Exploration of the role of envy and libido in early development.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Primary narcissism is hypothesized to explain primary/secondary identification.
    • Introjection of oedipal parents is crucial for superego formation.
    • Projective identification challenges the postulate of primary narcissism, suggesting primitive mechanisms driven by envy.

    Conclusions:

    • Early introjections are primitive, questioning subject/object polarity and stemming from envy.
    • Envy and libido are dialectically linked, driving early object relations and identification processes preceding the Oedipus complex.
