Fragile Selves: Working with Narcissistic and Borderline States of Mind

The Fragile Self: Working with Narcissistic Vulnerability, Grandiosity, Shame, and Alienation

He uses illustrations from the work of Heinz Kohut, whose case studies show how patients’ dreams, sexual fantasies and perversions can all provide clues to the childhood events that caused their narcissistic wounding.
