Through a close examination of the actual experience of self, the process of individuation, narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder, Jacoby demonstrates the benefits of a cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques for the professional...

In particular, On the Blissful Islands seeks to develop the kind of interpretative approach that...
