Why do some people depend so heavily on admiration, reassurance, or recognition to maintain their sense of self? Psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Heinz Kohut developed Self Psychology to explain how early relationships contribute to psychological cohesion, self-esteem, and vulnerability to narcissistic injury. This episode examines mirroring, idealization, selfobjects, and how Kohut’s approach changed the psychoanalytic understanding and treatment of narcissistic difficulties.
