Practitioners of psychoanalysis find three central themes to be
recurrent and ubiquitous in every analysis; firstly, issues around
identity, the struggle to know the self, to understand the self and
to be the self in an authentic way. Intricately entangled with
self-identity is the problem of narcissism, essentially viewed as a
defensive retreat to a mental state characterized by an unconscious
belief in the special value of the self and the diminution of the
Other. The motive for seeking psychoanalytic treatment is often to
improve the quality of relationships with the Other, which is
clearly jeopardized by narcissistic states; the person undergoing
psychoanalysis might hope to re-discover a resilient self and a
sense of personal identity, and to overcome narcissism sufficiently
to be able to form relationships. However, there are a multitude of
inherent anxieties involved in close and intimate relationships. As
Freud pointed out, even in our most intimate relationships there is
an element of hostility.
