The Austro-American psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut was one of the
foremost leaders in his field and developed the school of
self-psychology, which sets aside the Freudian explanations for
behavior and looks instead at self/object relationships and empathy
in order to shed light on human behavior. In How Does Analysis
Cure? Kohut presents the theoretical framework for self-psychology,
and carefully lays out how the self develops over the course of
time. Kohut also specifically defines healthy and unhealthy cases
of Oedipal complexes and narcissism, while investigating the nature
of analysis itself as treatment for pathologies. This in-depth
examination of "the talking cure" explores the lesser studied
phenomena of psychoanalysis, including when it is beneficial for
analyses to be left unfinished, and the changing definition of
"normal." An important work for working psychoanalysts, this book
is important not only for psychologists, but also for anyone
interested in the complex inner workings of the human psyche.
