TY - JOUR PY - 1981// TI - Some clinical consequences of introjection: gaslighting JO - Psychoanalytic quarterly A1 - Calef, V. A1 - Weinshel, E. M. SP - 44 EP - 66 VL - 50 IS - 1 N2 - In the regression from the oedipal impulses some, perhaps many, people retreat to the introjective (oral) mode of defense. This and other defensive maneuvers culminate in a variety of behaviors which have been extensively and variously described in the literature. The authors describe, under the rubric of "gaslighting," an outcome of the introjective defense in which a victim and a victimizer join psychological modes in expressing and defending themselves against oral, incorporative impulses (greed), each in his or her own way.
