You'll need to add the name as a property of the object:

var imageObj = {
  name: "image",
  addCount:function(){
    alert('count');
  },
  addCountandCreate:function(){
     this.addCount();
     alert(this.name);
  }
}

you can then reference that object from within another, of course:

ObjectSwitch = {
  "image": imageObj
}

Sorry, you can't with that structure. this refers to the object: {addCount:, addCountandCreate:} and JS has no way to say this.parentObject (which doesn't make sense anyway since an object can have multiple references)
