Identification with the Aggressor (German: Identifizierung mit dem Angreifer)[1] is one of the forms of identification conceptualized by psychoanalysis. Specifically, it is a defence mechanism that indicates taking the role of the aggressor and his functional attributes, or imitating his aggressive and behavioral modality.

History

The concept was first introduced by Sándor Ferenczi in his clinical diary on 24 June 1932[2] and then he developed it in his paper "The Passions of Adults and their Influence on the Development of the Character and the Sexuality of the Child" (German: Die Leidenschaften der Erwachsenen und deren Einfluß auf Charakter und Sexualentwicklung des Kindes)[3] for the 12th International Psycho-Analytic Congress in Wiesbaden, Germany, on 4 September 1932.[4][5] He further elaborated this work until he published it in 1949 in The International Journal of Psychoanalysis with the new title "Confusion of the Tongues Between the Adults and the Child—(The Language of Tenderness and of Passion)".[6] In 1936, Anna Freud took up and developed the concept in her book The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense (German: Das Ich und die Abwehrmechanismen).[1][7]
