Concerning Freud's article on projection of?1922, the author points out the omission of some earlier ideas from the?1910 text on Schreber-ideas that were the basis for Lacan's introduction of the mirror stage and the concept of foreclosure. Specular narcissism, in its connections with the maternal imago, which was already found in Freud, was illustrated by a clinical case of homosexuality published by the author in?2006. Having located the induction of thought in Freud, he emphasises the importance of the model of primordial projection in the narcissistic determination between what is constitutive of the self and what is alien to it. He demonstrates that the symmetry between projection and introjection in Kleinian authors is suspended by Winnicottian transitionality, which logically precedes it. He considers Bion's concept of projective identification as belonging to the second generation in relation to Klein's concept.
