Alex, I'm just making this up so.......
We have within us an idealised mother part which when projected into the desired other (who can't have been desired to much prior to thre projection or my theory won't work) makes them arttractive and stuff, able to be idealised. Actually I've never grasped projective identification, not even when I had more of my brain than I do now. Still my T was big on it and I think worked with it. (Holding the distressed baby part etc)
