Narcissistic TransferencesAs the emptiness of the shell approaches conscious awareness,
one's relationships to others become more markedly narcissistic.
Kohut called the narcissistic object relations narcissistic transferences
(he later named them self-object transferences), referring especially
to those seen in the clinical situation with the analyst. The
narcissistic transferences generally function to shore up the
sense of identity, to make that sense of identity feel supported.
In our work these transferences arise in the student's relationship
to her teacher. (The Point of Existence, pg 229) |
