Understand the wounded 'me' within me,
Re-establishing a recoverable 'self'
Heinz Kohut's Self-Psychology Guide to Healthy Self-Love

"Heinz Kohut's Self-Psychology Story 1" is an introductory and practical book on self-psychology that deeply explores how my "self" is formed, how it hurts, and how it recovers, focusing on the theories of Heinz Kohut, who changed the paradigm of modern psychoanalysis.
This revised edition, with the added subtitle "Me and Self," sheds more light on the narcissistic self, a core topic in self-psychology.

Kohut went beyond the conventional psychoanalytic perspective that considered narcissism pathological and emphasized healthy narcissism as a core process in the psychological development of the 'self'.
He conceptualized the 'self' as a psychological structure, the deficiencies of which manifest in the form of shame, anger, addictions, and eating disorders.
However, at the same time, it presents a recovery-centered perspective that these self-defects can be analyzed and sufficiently healed through empathic self-object experiences.

This revised edition has revised the pathology and diagnostic content to align with the DSM-5-TR criteria, and has added reliability and academic completeness by reflecting the latest research data and references.
Part 1 explains psychoanalytic narcissism and the concepts and structure of self and self-object. Part 2 explores the construction and deficiency of the self, and Part 3 explores the disorders of the self that arise from the deficiency of the self.
The final part, Part 4, presents a process of recovery and healing centered on empathy, narcissistic transference, and healthy self-love.

"Heinz Kohut's Self-Psychology Story 1" is for readers who wish to explore self-psychology academically, as well as counseling professionals who wish to understand the narcissistic wounds of their clients, and all readers who wish to understand, stand up, heal, and rebuild the cracked and fragile "self" on the long psychological journey of finding the self within themselves.
