Hello gg,
boB, boBB and Cptn. boB! were really quite interesting back in 2000. I read up alittle about projective identification last night, typed it into the search feature here and afew results down I got a post (it linked the 2 words together separately I think) with a discussion with boB!/Cptn. boB..who described herself/himself as..
"Me, I am a guerilla student, and an amature scientist, and hopefully a field medic in the war on drugs. For whatever that is worth."

Then boB says later down in the page of that April 2000 archive (I found it interesting so I clicked lol)
"Perhaps I can help you find some more perspective on this situation. I am a reporter.
Before I was a journalist, I was persistently confrontational with retail institutions, and with law enforcement agencies. I do not consider my behavior symptomatic of disease, I consider it appropriate response in a troubled society. If there is anything that separated me from a user of prescribed psychotropics is that I was fortunate to learn effective verbal coping strategies.
Take it from an old guerilla psychological warrior. Hit hard and back off. Don't be drawn into a front-on conflict unless you are assured of victory or the rewards of battle are worth your personal loss. Don't be thwarted by a little bit of pain and live to fight another day."

Fascinating reading (all of the messages and threads)
In an unrelated sense, I was reading the newspaper the other day and when reading the newspaper article I found myself thinking....if this 'story' was written on babble, it would definitely be considered uncivil!

Hi Declan,
I don't know much about psychology, but I read this about Projective Identification yesterday...
I think maybe there is probably easier ways to sum it up tough in a nutshell, but I found it an interesting read..
