Mentoring intersects with memoir in this volume, as 31
psychotherapists share the origins of their professional ambitions
and, mixing authority with levity, describe their professional
odysseys. The psychotherapists include Martin A. Schulman, Jeffrey
Seinfeld and Martha Stark.
Fantasies of omnipotence grow out of feelings of helplessness. We
are all born helpless, completely dependent on others for
nurturance and survival, and we all must face the ultimate
annihilation of the self at the end of life. While fantasies of
omnipotence help us to cope with these painful acts, they may also
interfere with our ability to engage reality and deal with life.
This important new book addresses all aspects of omnipotence, from
the merger fantasies of the baby who feels like an extension of the
powerful parent, to the rigid defence omnipotent fantasies of the
frightened borderline patient, to the soothing spiritual and
religious feelings that help many accept loss and mortality.
Contributions by noted authors like Otto Kernberg, Jack and Kerry
Kelly Novick, Henry Krystal, Paul Ornstein and Steven Ellman should
make this a valuable resource to all clinicians and other students
of human behaviour.
