ABSTRACT

Further new aspects of the phenomenology of projective identification are now revealed. They however seem to present us with yet more complex aspects of Sophie’s internal world. There seems to be a shift from mostly persecutory to mostly obsessional material, suggesting a “more tyrannical [slant], ruling the space that she lives in, which is [still] her mother’s rectum.” Her being perhaps cut off from the capacity to experience the beauty of the world would now seem to rather somberly hover over her future.

Fears that there might be a paranoid nucleus hidden behind the anti-diarrheic medicines now emerged.

NB: Another two years later.
