  • Title: The organization of the self-representation and its influence on pathology.
    Author: Eisnitz AJ.
    Journal: Psychoanal Q; 1980 Jul; 49(3):361-92. PubMed ID: 7403387.
    Abstract:
    Units within the self-representation provide the quality for ego activity. The ego selects and cathects the appropriate unit of the self-representation. Oedipal identifications internalize the ego capacity to maintain the self-representation and its stability. Conflict can promote instability within the self-representation requiring special defenses to deal with the narcissistic stress. Such narcissistic conflict can arise at all levels of maturity.
