I'm wondering if this is a purely negative concept. I've been around people who make me feel better about myself or make me think I'm more capable than I am...and I like that. But I am inclined then to do the same for them.
I "identify" with this concept because I do it myself around anger. My therapist has long said that I hand over my anger to my husband (or him) and then I'm upset at the anger being flung back at me. Holding onto it myself is too hard.
I'm telling ya - we'd all be better without a psyche...
