REFLECTIONS ON NARCISSISM, MANIA AND ANALYSTS’ ENVY
Presenter: Irwin Hirsch, Ph.D.
Analysts’ envy of very high achieving patients all too often leads to retaliation by pathologizing such individuals. This can reflect analysts’ efforts to deal with personal feelings of comparative inadequacy through the use of allegedly objective diagnosis, in particular, diagnoses of pathological narcissism and hypomania.
Irwin Hirsch Ph.D. is distinguished visiting Faculty of The William Alanson White Institute; Faculty, Supervisor and Former Director of The Manhattan Institute for Psychoanalysis; Adjunct Clinical Professor of Psychology and Supervisor of The Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis at New York University. Dr. Hirsch is Co-editor of Arts and Culture and Contemporary Psychoanalysis and is on the editorial board of Psychoanalytic Dialogues, Psychoanalytic Perspectives and Ricerca Psicoanalitica. He is author of over 70 psychoanalytic articles, chapters and reviews, as well as the Goethe Award winning book Coasting in the Countertransference: Conflicts of Self-Interest between Analyst and Patient.
No registration or fee required. Refreshments served following the presentation.
