  • Title: A Theoretical and technical approach to narcissistic disturbance.
    Author: Kinston W.
    Journal: Int J Psychoanal; 1980; 61(3):383-94. PubMed ID: 7440078.
    Abstract:
    This paper makes a limited contribution to the theoretical problem of narcissism and offers a possibly useful technical approach. Terminology is clarified and two concepts are introduced: self-narcissism and object-narcissism. Detailed clinical material illustrates the presence of an unwished-for self-image acting as a resistance. Interpretation leading to integration of the self-image into the self-representation results in an increase in authenticity on which conventional interpretative activity depends. Objections and alternative views of the material are breifly discussed.
