Description

Book Synopsis
Challenges 'the limits of classical analytic theory' and the Freudian orthodoxy. This book proposes a 'psychology of the self' as a theory in its own right. It explores issues such as the role of narcissism in personality, when a patient can be considered cured, and the oversimplifications and social biases that unduly influenced Freudian thought.

Trade Review
"Kohut speaks clearly from his identity as a psychoanalyst-healer, showing that he is more of a psychoanalyst than most, and yet calling for major theoretical revisions including a redefinition of the essence of psychoanalysis." - American Journal of Psychotherapy"
