James Masterson was a leading figure and innovative thinker in the major psychoanalytic turn from the theory of repressed desires to a focus on relationship and the self. Essential to this shift was the naming and defining of personality disorder, an endeavor that both shaped Masterson’s work and, in turn, was shaped by him.
READ MORE...Unwilling to accept his “borderline” patients as “untreatable,” he began an effective synthesis of object relations theory and developmental studies that became the cornerstone of his theory and clinical practice. His integrative approach drew from the evolving work of Kernberg, Kohut, and Fairbairn to include borderline, narcissistic, and schizoid personality disorders in an overarching concept of disorders of the self.
Masterson’s earlier work explores the possibility that personality disorders may follow a developmental process of their own – a correlation of Margaret Mahler’s developmental subphases with a shadow-side of corresponding disorders in personality. Masterson’s perception of the basically healthy child within the developmental distortion of the patient – the defining of pathology as a normal process gone awry – is a therapeutic concept that goes back to Freud and forward into contemporary neuropsychology.
