Narcissistic Wounds
Clincal Perspectives
exc Business and Economy (WHURR)
The core elements of narcissism concern the dificulty individuals
encounter with the separating process and their use of the
mechanism of splitting. Through the work of American thinkers (such
as Kernberg and Kohut) on the advancement of the understanding of
narcissistic disturbances is well known, the contribution of the
British school has had a comparatively low profile.
This book seeks to redress the balance by providing an
up-to-date presentation of the work in this area of British
psychotherapists and psychoanalysts of different theoretical
orientations - contemporary Freudian, Kleinian and independent.
