Part II is designed to complement the gap between the previous talk’s Narcissistic-Self paradigm emphasis on theory with an emphasis on clinical practice. The DSM-5 offers a constricted, pathology-based view of narcissism, while psychoanalytic practice reveals a far more nuanced reality. Through clinical examples, Dr. Jeffry Luria expands on the etiology of Narcissistic-Self drives and fantasies, exploring the delicate yin and yang of Self-Hatred and Self-Love.
