A psychoanalytic process from its beginning to its termination is
described to illustrate crucial technical issues in the treatment
of individuals with narcissistic personality organization and the
countertransference manifestations such patients stimulate in the
analyst. The subject of this book exhibited cruelty to confirm and
stabilize his grandiosity. His internal world was a "reservoir" of
the deposited image of his father figure, an individual most
severely traumatized during World War II. The patient was given the
task to be a mass-"killer" of animals instead of being a hunted
one.This book most clearly illustrates how the transgenerational
transmission of trauma takes place and how the impact of war
continues in future generations. The book also provides an
understanding of a special kind of psychological motivation that
directs a person to use weapons for mass killing. In this era of
pluralism in psychoanalysis, providing the story of a
psychoanalytic case in its duration opens ways for comparison and
discussion of technique and can be used as a teaching tool.
