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 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.
