In this groundbreaking volume, the authors bring us into the
immediacy of the analyst's consulting room in direct confrontation
with the thought disorder, delusions and hallucinations of their
patients grappling with psychosis. From the early days of
psychoanalysis when Freud explicated the famous Schreber case,
analysts of all persuasions have brought a variety of theories to
bear on the problem of schizophrenia and the other psychoses. Here,
as William Butler Yeats notes, "the centre cannot hold" and any
sense of self-esteem - positive feelings about oneself, a
continuous sense of self in time and a functional coherence and
cohesion of self - is shattered or stands in imminent danger. What
makes psychoanalytic self psychology so compelling as a framework
for understanding psychosis is how it links together the early
recognition of narcissistic impairment in these disorders to the
"experience-near" focus which is the hallmark of self psychology.
