A Classic on Projective Identification

An excellent book on the subject of Projective Identification, a psychodynamic concept developed by Melanie Klein and her group of followers, namely Wilfred Bion, Hanna Segal and Herbert Rosenfeld. Probably the J. S. Grotstein book is the best introduction on the subject from a post-kleinian and post-bionian standpoint. Highly recomended and can be complemented by the T. H. Ogden book.
