In Psychoanalytic Thinking Today
Much has been written on identification since Freud. Identification has been seen both as a normal developmental mechanism and as a mechanism of defence. Many types of identification have been described by other psychoanalysts, including counteridentification (Fliess,1953), pseudoidentification (Eidelberg, 1938), concordant and complementary identifications (Racker, 1957), and adhesive identification (Bick, 1968):'the work of Bick and others on adhesive identification, exploring the concept of the "psychic skin"'.
