Reviews for The Analysis of the Self
"Kohut has done for narcissism what Charles Dickens did for poverty in the nineteenth century. Everyone always knew that both existed and were a problem....The undoubted originality is to have put it together in a form which carries appeal to action." - International Journal of Psychoanalysis"
