Description

The premier volume in the Progress in Self Psychology Series was completed two years after Heinz Kohut’s death in 1981.� Hence, this volume has a unique status in the history of self psychology: it bears the imprint of Kohut while charting a course of theoretical and clinical growth in the post-Kohut era.� Biographical reminiscences about Kohut (Strozier, Miller) and commentaries on Kohut’s “The Self-Psychological Approach to Defense and Resistance” [chapter seven of How Does Analysis Cure?] (M. Shane, P. Tolpin, Brandchaft, Oremland) are juxtaposed with a section of self-psychological reassessments of interpretations (Basch, A. and P. Ornstein, Goldberg).� Clinical papers cover the selfobject transferences (Hall, Shapiro), patient compliance (Wolfe), and the “self-pity response” (Wilson), while theoretical contributions present ideas of Stolorow, Bacal, White, and Detrick that are foundational to their subsequent writings.� This volume helped to shape the theoretical and clinical agenda of self psychology in the decades following Kohut’s death.Typham this is the title: Progress in Self Psychology, V. 1 1st Edition
