Summary:Problems in the establishment of the sense of a ‘psychic’ skin, in the ways described by Bick and Meltzer for example, commonly give rise to distortions in the capacity for self-experiences as a consequence of difficulties in relation to projective and identificatory processes.

This essay addresses the nature of these problems and considers some of the ways in which they may be approached clinically.
