Description

Narcissistic Wounds: Clinical Perspectives presents a comprehensive overview of the work of British psychotherapists and psychoanalysts on narcissistic disturbances. This book aims to redress the balance by providing an up-to-date presentation of the work of contemporary Freudian, Kleinian, and independent thinkers. The core elements of narcissism, including the difficulty individuals encounter with the separating process and the use of the mechanism of splitting, are explored in depth. The book draws on the work of American thinkers, such as Kernberg and Kohut, to provide a well-rounded understanding of narcissistic disturbances. By examining the work of British psychotherapists and psychoanalysts, this book offers a unique perspective on the subject. With its focus on contemporary theoretical orientations, Narcissistic Wounds: Clinical Perspectives is an essential resource for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of narcissistic personality disorder.
