Psychoanalytic processes in which feelings, traits or attitudes are attributed to, taken from or directed at another person, including projection, introjection, projective identification, transference and countertransference. A phenomenon belongs here when its cited article describes this passing of feeling between people. Every member sits in the Psychology Atlas as its own page with a definition, cited sources and links to related effects, so the group works as a reading path through Projection and Transference Processes rather than as a claim that the members share one cause. Where scholars disagree about how an effect should be classified, the member page says so.
