Sandra, We are using the same defination for introject. You say "Unless the introject part of self is "out", it would usually not be the front part of self by definition." You have not defined "front part", but I think this is where we perceive things differently. I infer from your posts that the "front part" is likely to be healthy, or at least healthier, than the other parts of self. While this may often be true it is not always true. I assume that the healthiest ego state a person has, front or back, may be very wounded, with many unmet needs, and inclined to irrational reactions, fears, or concerns. With that assumption in mind I go about the business of connecting clients to 3 powerful internal resouces, who are healthy, unwounded, and able to leap tall buildings with a single bound (just kidding). The healing of wounded child parts happens when the resources meet the unmet childhood needs. So the concept of front parts or back parts is just not relevant to DNMS, except perhaps in scenarios such as "interested" described, in which the front part blocks access to the resources or child parts, or blocks the needs meeting process. One further comment on "interested's" post, I agree with her and do think that some individual's core personality is an introject mimicking someone from the past. How about Hitler, Saddam, Tim McVeigh? Where did they learn to be so mean? Food for thought,
Shirley Jean
