Abstract
Abstract Projective identification has become a popular concept with clinical social workers in part because it can serve as a bridge between the intrapsychic and the interpersonal. This paper argues, however, that it also has roots in an outmoded scientistic conception of the world. Narrative, a tradition which also has roots in Freud's work, is proposed as offering explanatory advantages in that it can capture clinical processes while providing bridges between both the intrapsychic and the interpersonal and between the person and the situation.
