The other person in an object for my own needs, desires, fantasies and fears. The other does not have reality as a whole subject but is somehow the carrier of the projection of my own psychic reality . . . In transference relationship the pressures of the internal needs create distortions which do violence to the existence and to the wholeness of the other person. We often conceive progress as grounded in Hegelian dialectic. Somehow a synthesis emerges as an apparent solution.
History repeats itself because it travels in Hegalian circles, spiraling off into Cartesian space.
The problem was that the Cartesian framework was unable to define the experience. Interestingly, psychologists are still arguing about the viability of projective identification as an antidote . It defines the experience, but does not equate to any physical laws of nature within the Newtonian world-view. The formula assumes the organism and its environment are two wholly separate things, then ask how the two relate. But it failed in its attempt to overhaul the objectivist projects of transference and countertransference with more theories of technical realism.
