Download or read book The Damaged Core written by Salman Akhtar and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2009 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book deals with the process through which a coherent self evolves, the various ways such development fails to occur, and the therapeutic measures to put things back together. It deals with the psychotic core, the schizoid wish to die and be reborn, the fantasies related to unresolved separation-individuation, the sociopathic tendency to lie, and the impact of excessive narcissism on love relations. This book also provides a unique perspective on the treatment of these conditions insofar as it not only elucidates the ways that a therapist listens and talks to his patients but also the subtle but deep impact of his ongoing attitude toward psychotherapeutic work." --Book Jacket.
