Lee, Young Cheol. “Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child: A Daughter’s Trauma and Sexuality Projective Identification brought about by the Ruptured Mother-Daughter Relationship.” Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.3 (2016): 105-133. This study discusses the daughter’s trauma and sexuality projective identification brought about by the ruptured mother-daughter relationship in Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child, from a perspective of the theories of Object Relations Therapy. In the novel, Morrison projects Bride's traumatized past onto her heterosexual relationship with Booker Starbern who carries within him a psychological-emotional trauma. Bride gets herself absorbed in sexuality with Booker. She doesn't try to know or understand anything about him. This attitude that she shows in her relationship with Booker evokes the sexuality projective identification in the course of doing object relations therapy. Morrison seeks to not only relieve Bride of her traumatized past but also resurrect the relationship between her and Booker. However, Morrison doesn't make clear her relief from trauma or the resurrection of her heterosexual relationship. (Jeonju University)
