  • Title: Pathological identification in twins.
    Author: Feigelson EB.
    Journal: Hillside J Clin Psychiatry; 1983; 5(2):221-37. PubMed ID: 6686967.
    Abstract:
    In summary, in addition to the cultural, parental, developmental, and dynamic factors which support mutual identification and/or failure of separation between twins, it is my thesis that the basic early identifications between twins rely heavily on relatively conflict-free perceptual modes (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) quite different from the conflict-laden drive modes we usually think of when considering identification. Furthermore, identification based on perceptual modes, which are relatively free of conflict in early development, become extremely difficult to analyze, as analytic progress depends on conflict.
