Abstract

This paper examines the origins and the importance of pathological identification by the parent of the child who was maltreated or is at risk of maltreatment. The understanding of these identifications suggests methods of effective preventive action without recourse to the undesirable practice of removing the child from the home, other than in exceptional circumstances. Brief case history vignettes illustrate the clinical application of this approach.
