Notes

¹This is the structure that Kernberg (1975) called the grandiose self, whereas Kohut (1971) used this term to refer to a repressed structure that was more akin to Winnicott's (1960) true self.

²A common contemporary perspective explores the possibilities that the patient provides continual unconscious perceptions and commentary upon the analytic process (e.g., Langs, 1979; Casement, 1985). This does not, however, mean that the patient's discourse contains constant transference to the analyst.
