Kohut's Self Psychology for a Fractured World

Více o knize

The book explores how the contemporary American view of individuals as autonomous and self-sufficient can harm the development of a healthy self-structure, leading to mental illness and social issues. By utilizing Kohut's ideas on self, the author critiques this individualistic perspective, arguing that it contributes to a lack of connection and vitality in society. The work delves into the psychological implications of this mindset and its role in the broader context of mental health and social well-being.
