Originally published in 1983 Reflections on Self Psychology records
the development of a powerful initiative to alter psychoanalytic
theory and practice, and an evaluative questioning of this
initiative. It presents a dialogue that developed at the Boston
Symposium of 1980 between vigorous proponents of self psychology,
equally energetic critics, and many participants between these
polar positions. This book attempts to capture within its pages not
only the content of what was presented, explored, and evaluated in
Boston, but also a sense of the people, about 1,000 strong, who
exchanged their ideas on and off the podium - and the remarkable
spirit of open inquiry that invigorated these proceedings. The
book, as was the meeting, is organized to explore four subjects:
the development of the self: infant research; the implications of
self psychology for psychoanalytic practice; self psychology and
psychotherapy; and the implications of self psychology for
psychoanalytic theory. The final section of the book is devoted to
an essay by Heinz Kohut that provides an integrated response to the
issues and criticisms raised in the course of the symposium. This
essay while based on extemporaneous responses by Kohut during
different phases of the meeting, is, in its written version, a
cohesive, carefully revised, and edited statement prepared in the
mellowing period following the meeting and before Kohut's untimely
death.
