===Torok and Ferenczi=== However, the aforementioned description of introjection has been challenged by [[Maria Torok]] as she favours using the term as it is employed by [[Sándor Ferenczi]] in his essay "The Meaning of Introjection" (1912). In this context, introjection is an extension of autoerotic interests that broadens the ego by a lifting of repression so that it includes external objects in its make-up. Torok defends this meaning in her 1968 essay "The Illness of Mourning and the Fantasy of the Exquisite Corpse", where she argues that [[Sigmund Freud]] and [[Melanie Klein]] confuse introjection with incorporation and that Ferenczi's definition remains crucial to analysis. She emphasized that in failed [[mourning]] "the impotence of the process of introjection (gradual, slow, laborious, mediated, effective)" means that "incorporation is the only choice: fantasmatic, unmediated, instantaneous, magical, sometimes hallucinatory...'crypt' effects (of incorporation)".<ref>Jacques Derrida, "Foreword", Nicolas Abraham/Maria Torok, ''The Wolf Man's Secret Word'' (1986) p. xvii and p. 119n</ref>
