I'd be more than grateful if you could mention publications that have applied Heinz Kohut's ideas to literary criticism.
Wolf, Ernest S. “Psychoanalytic Psychology of the Self and Literature.” New Literary History, vol. 12, no. 1, 1980, pp. 41–60. JSTOR, www.jstor.org/stable/468804. Accessed 18 June 2021.
Michael Uebel Dear Professor Uebel, thank you! Both of those publications seem very interesting; Layton's article has been written with meticulous care and precision.
Zied Ben Amor Dear Professor Amor, thank you. I find Wolf's article very inclusive and it has great references for literary scholars.

The Self in Psychoanalysis: Heinz Kohut and Narcissism — a Critique
Béatrice Marianne Ewalds-Kvist Thank you for introducing Ilham Dilman's chapter in the book. It was concise and insightful.
Rachelle Rosenthal
I appreciate your answering the question with meticulous care and I want to thank you for sharing your perspective. I could draw on different sources to say why I agree with you; however, instead of showing my pompous side today, I'll just go with Chandler: Could you BE any more accurate?I do believe that Kohut has been misread in many sources in the case of higher education as well as his notion of empathy. And yes, erudition and contemplation can be therapeutic; that's actually brilliant for research.
If you ever had any unconventional ideas or without-source insights, I'd love to know about them. I actually did not question your theory, I pondered it. Conventional in-the-box theoretical thinking is not always the answer.
Indeed, it is a way of analyzing the unconscious elements in the literary text.
