Abstract

Outlining the history of transformations of narcissism and through the clinical material, this contribution puts in dialogue Heinz Kohut's understanding of adult-infant relationality with that of Jean Laplanche. In an effort to evaluate the merits of Kohut's developmental model in meta-psychological terms, the author is guided by two aims: to explore the clinical implications of different views on adult-infant relationality, especially as they manifest in the "mirror-hungry personality," and to formulate a psychoanalytic conceptualization of self-love that can effectively challenge the narrow-minded mantras so popular today.

拥挤的镜子：海因茨·科胡特和成人-婴儿之爱的神话。

概述了自恋转变的历史，并通过临床材料，这一贡献将海因茨·科胡特对成人-婴儿关系的理解与让·拉普朗什的理解进行了对话。为了从元心理学的角度评估科胡特的发展模型的优点，作者有两个目标：探索成人-婴儿关系的不同观点的临床意义，特别是当它们表现在“镜子饥渴人格”中时，以及制定一个自我爱的精神分析概念化，可以有效地挑战当今流行的狭隘的咒语。
