December 9, 2022 — Selfobjects and Selfobject Transferences
[47 pages]
This class will provide an introduction to selfobjects, selfobject functions, and selfobject transferences. Kohut’s understanding of patients’ needs to idealize the analyst, to be mirrored and admired, represented major shifts in technique as well as theory.
