Introjection:
Introjection is a psychological process where external objects or qualities are internalized and integrated into one's own psyche. It involves taking in aspects of others, such as their values, attitudes, or behaviors, as if they were one's own. Introjection is a defense mechanism and a form of identification. While it can aid in socialization and learning, uncritical introjection may lead to internal conflicts. Psychoanalytically, introjection is essential in early development for incorporating parental values and societal norms, shaping the formation of the superego.
