In Reply to: could anybody tell me what is BPD ,please posted by jack (203.107.130.9) on January 24, 2003 at 08:17:06:
An introject is an affect, thought, belief that one internalizes unconsciously from an external source (another person.) Example: Mother
projects shame upon a child and the child incorporates that into
the child's own self concept thereby experiencing self loathing,
depression, unworthiness, etc. without realizing the source of the
shame. Introjection is a topic that might come up in therapy when
values and beliefs are explored. Boundary distortions are another
related topic. In Enneagram considerations, E4 might introject
emotions. feelings, values; E5 might introject thoughts, concepts,
beliefs. In this oversimplified example the E4 might exhibit BPD,
while the E5 might be considered Schizoid. There are books about this
topic so please make allowances for this very limited overview.
