Goldberg, Arnold, —. Stepansky, Paul E. Psychoanalytic theory. Self assessment Psychology WM E3 K79h]. K64 When my husband, shortly before his death, finished writing this book, he said that he thought he had accomplished what he had set out to do for psychoanalysis and expressed the hope that his colleagues, particularly those of the younger generation, would do further research on the many questions he has raised during the course of his work.
He also expressed the hope that his thoughts would stimulate them to raise questions of their own, to pursue ideas of their own in order to continue the advance of the science of psychoanalysis. Although my inclusion of these passages may make the book somewhat more difficult to read, I hope that readers will have the necessary patience, for I believe they will be rewarded for their efforts by the richness of the ideas expressed and enlarged upon in this book.
Wadsworth for their help to me in preparing the manuscript for publication. It will not be the last book expounding his work, however, since psychoanalytic self psychology has by now achieved a momentum and a history of its own. This book is a point in that history. It is a history that has been eventful and exciting by any standard. But one can profitably review a brief span of the intellectual life of self psychology against the backdrop of a prophecy of William James that a close friend commended to Heinz after reading the manuscript of The Analysis of the Self: First they will say it is all wrong, then that it is unimportant and trivial, and finally that they knew it all along.
The prediction, of course, would prove substantially true. It was revealing, as well, of the extraordinary impact of a new set of ideas on a scientific community—a story that remains to be told. His observations about narcissism provoked little dissent at the time, and even his paper The Psychoanalytic Treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorders, delivered two years later Kohut b , vol. In the late s, as Kohut prepared to publish The Analysis of the Self , he asked certain of his colleagues and students at various times to read and comment on drafts of that work.
He clearly understood this first book as signaling a departure from the tradition of classical analysis, and he sought as wide a range of critical response as he could obtain prior to its publication.
Although The Analysis of the Self in fact received a remarkably broad and appreciative readership, it also elicited sharp negative reactions. It has continued to meet until the present. Although the majority of our meetings dealt with the ideas involved in self psychology, we occasionally proceeded with projects such as the collaborative publication of The Psychology of the Self: A Casebook Goldberg along with the organization of self psychology conferences.
I can think of no more heated discussions of self psychology than those that began in the study group and continue even today. I do not think it hyperbole to suggest that we rarely hear a criticism that we have not already grappled with and satisfactorily answered within the study group. To be sure, we continue to live with many criticisms of our own that are as yet unanswered, but, surely, this is characteristic of all sciences.
The present book is a chapter in the evolution of psychoanalytic ideas; it testifies to the evolving status of the concepts of psychoanalytic self psychology.
It grew out of many group discussions with Kohut and it represents, in part, his attempt to answer certain questions that followed the publication of The Restoration of the Self. It is not, however, restricted to a commentary on this latter volume, because the very questions that Kohut addresses directed him to a set of hypotheses about the nature of the analytic cure that are fundamentally different from his previous ideas about cure; along with this theoretical advance, Kohut offers substantive elaboration of the concept of empathy, the status of the Oedipus complex, the nature of defenses and resistances, and the variety of selfobject transferences—among the many topics covered in the volume.
Rather, we have a pragmatic criterion by which to judge them: we must ask just how worthwhile these ideas are in the conduct of clinical analyses. The last element of the prophecy forces us to ask whether analysts have, in fact, been utilizing self psychological ideas all along. This present book was edited by Paul Stepansky and me from a manuscript left by Heinz Kohut. I think it is fair to say that we have neither added to nor subtracted from his ideas but have undertaken our work mainly with an eye toward clarity of expression.
Not surprisingly, some of the ideas contained in my recent book The Restoration of the Self have evoked a variety of responses from colleagues. On many occasions, in consultative sessions, seminars, and correspondence, I have been asked to clarify certain thoughts that I had apparently not elaborated sufficiently in my book. In addition to this external stimulation from the side of colleagues and friends, I have continued to pursue certain lines of thought a bit further and have arrived at new insights that I would like to communicate.
Although the various topics that I wish to take up in Part I are to a certain extent interconnected, they do not form a truly cohesive whole. They belong together mainly insofar as they are all responses and afterthoughts to The Restoration of the Self.
Although the majority of comments elicited by The Restoration of the Self have been supportive of the psychoanalytic psychology of the self set forth in that work, one aspect of my presentation that seems to require further discussion has been constructively brought to my attention by a colleague.
In How Does Analysis Cure? Kohut presents the theoretical framework for self-psychology and carefully lays out how the self develops over the course of time. Kohut also specifically defines mental health and mental illness in relation to the Ocdipus complex and narcissism, while investigating the nature of analysis itself as treatment and cure for pathologies. This in-depth examination of "the talking cure" explores the lesser-studied phenomena of psychoanalysis, including when it is beneficial for analyses to be left unfinished, and the changing definition of "normal.
Rotenberg, Journal of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis. Heinz Kohut was born on May 3, in Vienna, Austria - a country whose culture, literature and music permeated his very being.
