This describes the concept in which parents project on to one or more children the fusion of the parents. The process operates within the triangle of mother-father-child as one of the mechanisms of avoiding the tension in the marriage. Additionally, it may evolve around the mother, who is the primary caretaker of the infant in our society. The result of the process is the impairment of the child. This process is so universal that it exists in all mother-father-child triangles to some degree. It exists in all varying degrees of intensity from minimal to severe.
