ABSTRACT
Was Jasper able to see me as more than a projective entity when he told me that I should do something he didn’t like so that he could punish me? If it had been merely a question of projecting the “bad Jasper” onto me, as I assumed at first, it wouldn’t have been necessary for him to ask me to do something that put me in opposition to him. I think rather that the situation was an anticipation of the development of the phase in which the object “is in process of being found instead of placed by the subject in the world” [Winnicott].’
