Identification
Sigmund Freud
Human Subject
Subjectivity
In Freud's work the term "identification" denotes a process whereby one subject adopts as his own one or more attributes of another subject.
In his later work, as Freud developed the idea that the ego and the superego are constructed on the basis of a series of identifications, the concept of identification eventually came to denote "the operation itself whereby the human subject is constituted."Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
