Individuation and Narcissism The Psychology of the Self in Jung and Kohut

Recent developments in Freudian psychoanalysis, particularly the work of Kohut and Winnicott, have led to a convergence with the Jungian position. Individuation and Narcissism attempts to overcome the doctrinal differences between the different schools of depth psychology, while taking into account the characteristic approaches of each. Through a close examination of the actual experience of self, the process of individuation, narcissism, and narcissistic personality disorder, Mario Jacoby demonstrates the benefits of a cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques for the professional analyst. He also provides a comprehensive discussion of the Freud/Jung controversy and the more recent research on the self for the student of analytical psychology.Jacoby, Mario is the author of 'Individuation and Narcissism The Psychology of the Self in Jung and Kohut' with ISBN 9780415008273 and ISBN 0415008271.
