Projective Identification by Robert Waska

Projective Identification by Robert Waska

This clear and thoughtful book by Robert Waska provides an accessible introduction to Projective Identification and the role it plays in internal and external life. Waska explores how Projective Identification is the foundation for much of psychic life, driving internal phantasy, influencing interpersonal behavior, and contributing to the transference/countertransference environment. This book contains several case studies which explore and expand on the concepts described and which demonstrate how a psychotherapist can understand, contain, and interpret the states patients seek help with. Additionally, this book introduces a clinical technique which is intended to tame the underlying emotional conflicts. Part of the popular Routledge Introductions to Contemporary Psychoanalysis series, this book will be essential to students of psychoanalysis, as well as academics and practitioners familiarising themselves with Projective Identification in a clinical setting.

Robert Waska, PhD, MFT, LPCC, provides psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individuals and couples in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has written fourteen textbooks on the Modern Kleinian approach to treatment, teaches and consults internationally, and is a contributing author for both The Handbook of Contemporary Psychotherapy and The Handbook of Hate .
