Narcissistic States and the Therapeutic Process

'Narcissistic States and the Therapeutic Process is a rare book. It is lively and interesting, lucid, and yet profound. It succeeds where many other recent attempts to provide new insight about narcissistically vulnerable patients have failed. It offers a framework for understanding the sicker patient without resorting to cumbersome theoretical constructs of simplistic formulas or contrived developmental narratives. The patients' words and the analyst's responses remain always in focus.'
