The Analysis of the Self by Heinz Kohut

The Analysis of the Self by Heinz Kohut

Psychoanalyst, teacher, and scholar, Heinz Kohut was one of the twentieth century's most important intellectuals. A rebel according to many mainstream psychoanalysts, Kohut challenged Freudian orthodoxy and the medical control of psychoanalysis in America. In his highly influential book "The Analysis of the Self", Kohut established the industry standard of the treatment of personality disorders for a generation of analysts. This volume, best known for its groundbreaking analysis of narcissism, is essential reading for scholars and practitioners seeking to understand human personality in its many incarnations.

"Kohut has done for narcissism what Charles Dickens did for poverty in the nineteenth centuryEveryone always knew that both existed and were a problem....The undoubted originality is to have put it together in a form which carries appeal to action." - International Journal of Psychoanalysis"

Heinz Kohut (1913-81) was professorial lecturer in psychiatry at the University of Chicago and president of the American Psychoanalytic Association. He is the author of many books, including How Does Analysis Cure? and The Curve of Life, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
