Description
Description:
In this paper, Dr. Masterson gives an understanding of the intrapsychic structure of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and how it finds clinical expression through the disorders of the self triad. Clinical cases are presented to illustrate how the therapeutic intervention of mirroring interpretation of narcissistic vulnerability helps the patient to convert transference acting-out to therapeutic alliance and transference, thereby creating the condition for psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the clinical vicissitudes of the disorders of the self triad.
- Given a case, use mirroring interpretation of narcissistic vulnerability to help the patient convert transference acting-out to therapeutic alliance and transference.
