Synopsis
In his foundational work The Restoration of the Self, noted psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut boldly challenges what he called â the limits of classical analytic theoryâ and the Freudian orthodoxy. Here Kohut proposes a â psychology of the selfâ as a theory in its own rightâ one that can stand beside the teachings of Freud and Jung.
Â
Using clinical data, Kohut explores issues such as the role of narcissism in personality, when a patient can be considered cured, and the oversimplifications and social biases that unduly influenced Freudian thought. This volume puts forth some of Kohutâ s most influential ideas on achieving emotional health through a balanced, creative, and joyful sense of self.
Â
"Kohut speaks clearly from his identity as a psychoanalyst-healer, showing that he is more of a psychoanalyst than most, and yet calling for major theoretical revisions including a redefinition of the essence of psychoanalysis.â â American Journal of Psychotherapy
