Dr. Messina the author of several books, including Misogyny, Projective Identification, and Mentalization, and, Aftermath: Healing from the Trump Presidency. Today she is here to discuss how the psychoanalytical concept of projective identification, or what she terms "blame shifting" manifests in our contemporary politics. Examples from the ongoing document scandal playing out at Donald Trump's Mar a Lago, the use of blame shifting as a political tactic all politicians use, and the differences between conscious use of blames shifting, vs. an unconscious process, and how we can protect ourselves from psychological abuse.
