Description
The psychoanalytic theories of Heinz Kohut are presented in this thought-provoking work. Self-psychology sets aside traditional Freudian explanations for behavior, instead focusing on self/object relationships and empathy to understand human behavior. Kohut explores the development of the self over time, defines healthy and unhealthy cases of Oedipal complexes and narcissism, and examines the nature of analysis as a treatment for pathologies. This in-depth examination also investigates when analyses should be left unfinished and how our understanding of "normal" has changed. A valuable resource for working psychoanalysts and anyone interested in the inner workings of the human psyche, this book offers a nuanced perspective on the complexities of human behavior.
