Introduction to Projections

In this episode, the psychological phenomena of projection is introduced. Both positive and negative projects are defined, and the theory behind the development of projections is explained. The behavior of projections is a normal part of human development and believed to be a foundational element to the further development of empathy skills.

As a foundation to the development of empathy, the behavior of projections needs to be observed and addressed by mental health therapists, in order to best support their clients.
