Through a detailed role play, they demonstrate how self-criticism, unconscious guilt, emotional deprivation, and suppressed anger emerge in therapy. They discuss: How depressive personalities form in childhood The role of introjection, self-blame, and gentle idealization Why therapists may miss key dynamics if therapy feels “too good” How to help patients access their real needs and frustrations This episode is ideal for clinicians and anyone interested in deep psychodynamic work. Shedler draws from the work of Nancy McWilliams and Otto Kernberg while offering his own insights on personality, countertransference, and therapeutic technique.   Link to blog.

In der fünften Folge begleiten wir Anna in eine der entscheidenden Phasen ihrer Therapie: Ein schmerzhafter Wendepunkt führt an den Kern ihres Erlebens – das Gefühl, nichts zu sein, und der verzweifelte Versuch, doch irgendwie gesehen zu werden. Es geht um Rache, Macht, Scham – aber auch um erste tastende Erfahrungen von echter Beziehung. - Nachbesprechung / Vertiefung der Folge auf Patreon.

Annas nach innen gerichtete Zerstörungswut nimmt ihr schließlich das, was sie am meisten liebt: ihr Geigenspiel. Wie kann es für Anna jetzt weiter gehen? Ihre Therapeutin bietet an, die Therapie zu intensivieren – unter einer Bedingung. Anna findet einen Job, doch statt eines Neuanfangs gerät sie in ein vertrautes Muster aus Macht und Unterwerfung. Kann die Therapie ihr genug Halt geben, um auszubrechen? Oder ist sie längst gefangen? Ein Traum bringt ans Licht, was Anna selbst noch kaum in Worte fassen kann. - Nachbesprechung / Vertiefung der Folge auf Patreon.

La breve tappa di oggi si presenta come un approfondimento sul pensiero di Karen Horney, Theodore Millon e Otto Kernberg.Il viaggio che stiamo facendo insieme, ci sta portando alla scoperta delle perversioni e in particolare della storia che ha attraversato la strutturazione e la definizione del sadomasochismo. Prima di giungere alla definizione clinica del disturbo, al pensiero dell'italiano De Masi e alle ipotesi eziopatogenetiche, la tappa odierna fornisce una visione breve e chirurgica sul sadomasochismo stesso.Trova il tuo posto sull'aereo di #ilpensierononlineare e parti con me per una nuova tratta di In Viaggio Con La Psicologia.

Een derde van alle mensen blijkt op een of andere manier tekort te zijn gekomen in zijn jeugd en heeft onthechte kenmerken. Geen aandacht en veiligheid, of erger: misbruik en geweld, beschadigt het denken en voelen. In serieuze gevallen spreekt men van borderline, narcistische, antisociale of theatrale persoonlijkheden. Ook wel de cluster B stoornissen genoemd in de DSM-diagnostiek. Dit zijn de onthechte persoonlijkheden. Veel hulpverleners vinden deze problematiek knap lastig. Het goede bericht is dat je er veel over kan leren. Om er een stuk makkelijker mee om te gaan. Laten we bij het begin beginnen. De mens is een sociaal wezen. Zonder omgeving is hij niets. Onthechte mensen hebben in hun jeugd een verstoring in hun vertrouwen in de wereld. Dat vertrouwen moeten de opvoeders cultiveren. Indien dat, veiligheid, liefde en consequentie, de eerste jaren niet geleverd wordt dat geeft dat een grote verstoring in de vaardigheid van de mens de ander te vertrouwen. En dus zich adequaat sociaal te gedragen. Hoewel; ze zijn ook charmant, soms best succesvol in het bedrijfsleven (of de criminaliteit), theaterwereld en ja; ook psychiaters! In ieder geval hebben alle onthechten een emotioneel gat in hun ziel. Met vaak als gevolg een verslaving. Een werk- of succes-verslaving, drank of drugsverslaving, seks of aandachtsverslaving. Hoe je het ook wendt of keert: de onthechte moet veel meer moeite doen om zijn portie geluk binnen te krijgen dan de gehechte mens. Uitingen: een hoofd wat voortdurend ‘aan' staat, snelle stemmingswisselingen bij het minst of geringste, verhoogd wantrouwen naar de wereld, onvermogen relaties langdurig aan te gaan en impulsief gedrag of kicks. Men houdt slecht rekening met anderen en kan manipuleren of liegen. De wereld wordt ingedeeld in de goeden en de slechten. Zwart/wit. En dat is in de echte wereld natuurlijk niet het geval. Er is snel veel drama en een hoog appel op de ander of de hulpverlener. ‘De wereld deugt niet en ik ben het slachtoffer'.

Otto Kernberg is one of the most influential theorists responsible for our understanding of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)!   https://www.verywellmind.com/borderline-personality-disorder-meaning-425191  

"In narcissistic personaities the experience of emptiness is most intense and almost constant..." (Otto Kernberg, M.D., clinical expert on the narcissistic personality).  "The narcissist's experience of emotional emptiness is beyond sadness. It is a severe and intractable wounding,..., a pain...savage and deep. The psychological (inner) landscape of the narcissist is bleak. (Freeing Yourself from the Narcissist in Your Life, Linda Martinez-Lew, Ph.D., LMFT).  As a result the high level narcissist is a very restless human being, always surveying his/her external environment for narcissistic supplies: adulation, praise, self-indulgence, the company of highly attractive men and women, sexual escapes, the pursuit of material indulgence, the company of highly attractive men and women, seeking raw power to control others, manipulation of those whom they experience as competitors.  "The successful narcissist creates an intricate system of positive feedback in the form of friends, associates, partners, spouses---who perpetually fufill his endless needs." (From Freeing Yourself From the Narcissist in Your LIfe). The narcissist is incapable of having a real relationship with another person. He/she doesn't have a relationship with himself/herself. Everything in his/her life is externalized and the most prized possession of all is the elaborate golden image that he/she creates and perpetuates all of his life. Deep inside the narcissist experiences himself/herself as psychologically empty. These powerful feelings are unconscious to him.her. At the core the narcissist is full of self loathing, living as a false self, unable to be real, to reciprocate feelings of affection or love. Emotionally he/she is shallow and incaapable of creating or sustaining any authentic human relationships.  Narcissistic emptiness in many ways drives the high level narcissist's obsessive greed.  High level narcissists are extraordinarily greedy. Greed is an extreme desire and pursuit to obtain more than what one needs, especially material largesse. They are never satisfied with what they have and are very competitive with other narcissists.  They always must be at the very pinnacle, the top of the mountain, the guy or girl who takes home all of the marbles (even if he/she steals them from others.) In our current narcissistic society, voracious greed has become acceptable to many people.  High level narcissists surround themselves with a charmed circle of people who provide him/her with unending narcissistic supplies: praise, adoration, continuous kudos, even worship. These individuals are obsessively loyal to the narcissist as long as they can fuse with his/her grandiosity, extreme self entitlement and delusional world.  When you learn and understand the dynamics of the high level narcissistic personality, you have gained knowledge, insight and power. Now you understand what makes these individuals function, why they react with such venom and their feverish search for narcissistic supplies to fill up the bottomless pit of their psychological emptiness.  Learn how to emotionally detach from the high level narcissist and maintain your psychological boundaries. You are entitled to respect and being treated as a separate human being who has intrinsic value, integrity, dignity and wisdom.  Practice self care each day: rest and sleep that you need and deserve, revitalizing experiences with Nature, meditation as you understand this, movement and exercise that works for you, using your unique creative gifts.  Click the link below for my book: Recovering and Healing After the Narcissist on Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/46befxue Click the link below for the Mental Health News Radio Network, a Global Network of Shows by Podcasters on every facet of Mental Health:  www.mhnrnetwork.com  

In this episode, Dr. Ettensohn clarifies the concept of Malignant Narcissism, drawing on the model developed by theorist Otto Kernberg. Common misconceptions are dispelled. Object Relations Theory is used to discuss the origins of both NPD and Malignant Narcissism, highlighting developmental differences between each disorder. Two meaning of malignant narcissism are discussed: 1. Malignant narcissism is a combination of narcissistic personality, antisocial traits, ego-syntonic sadism, and paranoid thinking that represents its own personality constellation distinct from Narcissistic Personality Disorder. 2. Malignant narcissism represents a phase or episode of narcissistic pathology in which repressed or split-off identifications with sadistic objects rise to the surface and become enacted in relationships. This is often due to loosening of grandiose defenses in psychotherapy.

Here is the chart of Kernberg's model of the emotional and psychological development mentioned in this lecture: https://bit.ly/3wMbXP7 In this episode, Dr Carveth discusses Kernberg's theoretical and clinical contributions. Don dives into Kernberg's Ego Psychology/Object-Relations approach, his rejection and then the introduction of Klein, his "trojan horse" strategy and his contribution to the theory of sex and marriage.

"In nrcissistic personalities the experience of emptiness is most intense...In these cases, emptiness, restlessnesss and boredom constitute...a baseline of pathological narcissistic experience." Otto Kernberg, M.D. The personalityof the high level narcissist is built on a false grandiose self that begins when this individual is very young. This is particularly the case if he or she is a golden child, that person who is celebrated as perfect by the narcissist parent. This child is like a second coming, a time of triumph for the parent who is convinced that this baby is perfect, amost like a small god. The parent(s) projects his deepest wishes and needs onto this child who in many ways is considered a kind of royalty. The child is treated differently from the other famil member. Brotheres and sisters of the golden one aren not given the lavish attention, a kind of adoration that is directed at this child.  The chosen child is never corrected or admonished for bad behaviors, rather rationalizations and excuses are made for him.her.  The budding narcissist grows up as a false self with an outward rsona that is boorishly self confident, even cocky. Along with these attributes, this golden child is never wrong, at fault never makes mistakes and takes full advantage of others. When the foundations of the peronality are based on the false self, the individual iis incapable of being psychologically grounded ortrue. The false elf rules these personalities. Beneath the surface in the unconscious of the golden child narcissist, the foundation is rocky, empty, lacking psychic roots or genuineness. This personality is ungrounded in reality and as a result the high level narcissist lives in a state of denial along with the use of many degense mechanisms: projection, repression.  Those who are partnered with, married to or children of these false self narcissists cannot change them since this is a fixed personality constellation.   At a point of insight and due to your research you recognize that you must choose to move forward and leave the narcissist.  You decide to choose yourself first, your individuality and your many creative gifts. You will no longer be controlled and intimidated by the faslse selves, the projections, multiple lies, rages, humiliations of the high level narcissist.  Give yourself tremendous credit for your decisions to put yourself first, to heal and restore your true individual self.  Click below for my current print book, Recovering and Healing After the Narcissist on Amazon. https://tinyurl.com/2p92ymam Click below for the Mental Health News Radio Network, an excellent series of shows by podcasters on every facet of Mental Health.

To split something means to divide it. “Splitting” is often considered a hallmark of BPD / EUPD. It is characterized by the propensity to completely idealize or devalue other people, places, ideas, or objects. To see them as all good or all bad. Splitting causes those of us with Borderline Personality Disorder to view life, ourselves, and others in extremes. Black and white thinking, no gray areas.This episode of Back from the Borderline is part two of a three-part deep-dive on Splitting. In this episode, Mollie talks about the history of the term splitting, how the term is discussed in professional therapeutic circles, and her own experience with splitting after an unexpected breakup.

Compartmentalization is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person's having conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc. within themselves. weki #compartmentalize #Compartmentalization is a subconscious psychological defense mechanism used to avoid cognitive dissonance, or the mental discomfort and anxiety caused by a person's having conflicting values, cognitions, emotions, beliefs, etc. within themselves. Compartmentalization allows these conflicting ideas to co-exist by inhibiting direct or explicit acknowledgement and interaction between separate #compartmentalized self-states.[1] Psychoanalysis considers that whereas isolation separates thoughts from feeling, compartmentalization separates different (incompatible) cognitions from each other.[2] As a secondary, intellectual defense, it may be linked to rationalization.[3] It is also related to the phenomenon of neurotic typing, whereby everything must be classified into mutually exclusive and watertight categories.[4] Otto Kernberg has used the term "bridging interventions" for the therapist's attempts to straddle and contain contradictory and compartmentalized components of the patient's mind.[5] --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

Q: What do President Trump and daffodils have in common?   A: They've both been called the name of a Greek myth.   It seems that we hear about Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder all the time these days, especially as an accusation, but what does being called "a Narcissist" really even mean?  To investigate this idea, we go back to Freud – of course. But we also bring in our friend from Season 1, Heinz Kohut, and our first actual living psychoanalytic theorist, Otto Kernberg! We also take a tour through the ancient myths of the original self-centered chap, Narcissus, and on the way we encounter the Goddess of Vengeance, visit the Budapest School, wrestle the Pathologic Grandiose Self monster and come to rest at the Reservoir of Self-Esteem.  Whether you are dealing with a difficult boss, an obstinate adolescent, or are being accused of narcissism yourself, the lessons of this episode will help us remember what our mothers (and Ru Paul!) always told us...

There are theorists who seem to strive for integration and those who insist on fundamental differences, incompatibilities, and unbridgeable gulfs. Some write from an interdisciplinary position, exulting in hybridity and increased potentiality, while others, no less passionately, police disciplinary boundaries, urging seriousness and rigor. The argument to integrate is rooted in the assumption that a theory only can be enriched through the incorporation of varying perspectives; a multiple factor model is inherently more flexible and practicable. Proponents of disciplinary and theoretical purity counter that true integration is impossible: synthetic efforts often fall short, resulting in pastiche, lists of superficial similarities, or vitiated “middle positions.”Steven J. Ellman, in When Theories Touch: A Historical and Theoretical Integration of Psychoanalytic Thought (Karnac, 2010) unapologetically declares his allegiance to the first camp. As Ellman explains in his preface, the blending of various theoretical models in the service of expanding and deepening clinical practice has long been his preoccupation, one might even say, his ethical stance. When Theories Touch is divided into three loosely delimited sections (“Freud Chapters,” “Major Post-Freudian Theorists,” and “Contemporary Issues in Psychoanalysis”) and eighteen chapters featuring readings of an array of psychoanalytic giants, including Anna Freud, Heinz Hartmann, Melanie Klein, W. Ronald D. Fairbairn, D. W. Winnicott, Harry Stack Sullivan, Margaret Mahler, Heinz Kohut, Otto Kernberg, Wilfred Bion, and Stephen Mitchell. Most of the integrative labor is contained in the commentary sections of each chapter, as well as the concluding chapter, modestly titled, “A Tentative Developmental Model.” In many ways, Ellman is building on the work spurred by the baby observers of the 1980s and 1990s. Those decades not only witnessed the challenge to classical technique by relational theorists but also epistemic convergences founded on object relations theory and the studied infant-caregiver dyad. Insights from Klein, Kohut, Bion, and Winnicott were framed and woven together by shared assumptions about the structuring influence of early mother-infant interactions. Ellman echoes and enlarges these prior efforts. He includes clinical material, indexing implications for technique. He also introduces the relational viewpoint of Mitchell while maintaining a place for drives (or what he prefers to call “endogenous stimulation”), both in his developmental model and his practice. With surprising ease Ellman is able to stake out a theoretical position that complicates (or, arguably, obviates!) age-old psychoanalytic debates about object-seeking vs. pleasure-seeking infants, the centrality of the Oedipus complex, the timing and necessity of transference interpretation, and a host of metapsychological and clinical questions. The relevance and value of Ellman’s book, I believe, rests less in its integration (which is partial by the author’s own measure) than in its brave and convincing advocacy of the merging of causes that previously have done violence to one another. During our interview and in the book, Ellman approaches each body of theory with rare openness and curiosity. He enables theorists as discordant as Stephen Mitchell and Charles Brenner to enter into productive conversation, enhancing the contributions of both through new and unexpected syntheses.

Elizabeth Lunbeck has made a major contribution to the historical study of psychoanalysis with the publication of The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard University Press, 2014). Exploring the concept of narcissism and how it is deployed at the level of culture, she has produced a multi-textured book that is one part history of ideas, one part history of psychoanalysis and one part cultural history.  The admixture yields a good read and, in this interview, Lunbeck reveals herself to be quick on her feet and sturdy in her thinking in all three realms.  It was easy to imagine being in one of the history classes she teaches at Vanderbilt, perched on the edge of the seat, endeavoring to keep apace of a mind that is comfortable with small details and large concepts all at once. She argues that at mid-century, critics of American culture, including the man who hired her for her first teaching job at University of Rochester, Christopher Lasch, made much of the idea that narcissism was ruining the American character.  Lunbeck questions his understanding of narcissism–wherein a person is soft, weak, needy and seeking salvation through consumerism–and the book unfolds from there.  Relying largely on the thinking of the psychoanalysts, Otto Kernberg and Heinz Kohut, who both wrote volumes about narcissistic personalities and their treatment, we come to see that just as the culture critics were using the idea of narcissism to make their point, psychoanalysts were in deep discussion as to how to treat and understand the narcissists that lay on their couches. Lunbeck sets out to explore key concepts in the history of this term and offers up chapters on “self-love”, “independence”, “vanity”, “gratification”, “inaccessibility”, and “identity.”  Each term reveals something about the interaction between culture and psychoanalysis, and as such each chapter offers a particular prism through which to think more fully about narcissism and the many shapes it has taken.  Questions emerge: Are narcissists grandiose individuals who need no one?  Are people who reject dependency truly strong?  Were people who lacked good feelings about themselves and so used others to get “the narcissistic supplies” in need of tough love or of gratification on the couch?  Is the quest for pleasure the end of the social contract? In this interview these and other topics are covered, leaving one with the lasting impression that the idea of narcissism has served many purposes both within the culture and within the profession of psychoanalysis.  Mining this quite malleable concept, Lunbeck may have given it a proper container, a way in which it can, at last, take a clearer shape.

“It is a commonplace of social criticism that America has become, over the past half century or so, a nation of narcissists.” From this opening, Elizabeth Lunbeck‘s new book proceeds to offer a fascinating narrative of how this came to be, exploring the entwined histories of narcissism, psychoanalysis, and modernity in 20th and 21st century America. Narcissism permeated 1970s discourse on America, its decline, the relationship of that decline to material consumption, and the physical and emotional pathologies associated with these transformations. The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard University Press, 2014) takes readers into the deeper history of the emergence, complexities, and metamorphoses of the study of narcissism in the work of psychoanalysts Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg in the early 20th century, at the same time offering a wonderfully rich account situating them in the larger context of interlocutors that included Freud, Joan Riviere, and others. The book concludes with a thoughtful reflection on the recent resurgence of the idea of “healthy narcissism,” its relationship to the notion of charismatic leaders (like Steve Jobs), and the place of “Generation Me” in all of this. Lunbeck’s book should be required reading for anyone working in the history of the human sciences, of psychoanalysis, and of the modern US.

“It is a commonplace of social criticism that America has become, over the past half century or so, a nation of narcissists.” From this opening, Elizabeth Lunbeck‘s new book proceeds to offer a fascinating narrative of how this came to be, exploring the entwined histories of narcissism, psychoanalysis, and modernity in 20th and 21st century America. Narcissism permeated 1970s discourse on America, its decline, the relationship of that decline to material consumption, and the physical and emotional pathologies associated with these transformations. The Americanization of Narcissism (Harvard University Press, 2014) takes readers into the deeper history of the emergence, complexities, and metamorphoses of the study of narcissism in the work of psychoanalysts Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg in the early 20th century, at the same time offering a wonderfully rich account situating them in the larger context of interlocutors that included Freud, Joan Riviere, and others. The book concludes with a thoughtful reflection on the recent resurgence of the idea of “healthy narcissism,” its relationship to the notion of charismatic leaders (like Steve Jobs), and the place of “Generation Me” in all of this. Lunbeck’s book should be required reading for anyone working in the history of the human sciences, of psychoanalysis, and of the modern US.

Mental Help Net (www.mentalhelp.net) presents the Wise Counsel Podcast (wisecounsel.mentalhelp.net), hosted by David Van Nuys, Ph.D. "Otto Kernberg, MD on Transference Focused Therapy". In this edition of the Wise Counsel Podcast, Dr. Van Nuys interviews Otto Kernberg, MD on the topic of Transference Focused Therapy. Dr. Kernberg is one of the best known living psychodynamic (e.g., Freudian) theorists, famous for his work in object relations theory, and on the nature of personality disorders and their remediation. In the course of this interview, Dr. Kernberg defines the underlying problems common to severe personality disorders, highlighting the role of identity diffusion and the borderline personality organization, providing both an explaination of what these things are, and how they form developmentally. He discusses how the various severe personality disorders, including Borderline personality disorder and Narcissistic personality disorder, are attempts to compensate for these core problems. He then describes his Transference Focused Therapy, which represents an effort to create a research-supported variant of psychodynamic psychotherapy which can directly repair identity diffusion and borderline personality organziation, not just help people learn to cope better with their personality disorder symptoms.
