THE RELATIONSHIP OF NORMAL TO PATHOLOGICAL NARCISSISM 2 정상적 자기애와 병리적 자기애의 관계 2 What are the structural origins and functions of the pathologically condensed grandiose self? In my view, idealized object images which normally would be integrated into the ego ideal and as such, into the superego, are condensed instead with the self-concept As a result, normal superego integration is lacking, ego-superego boundaries are blurred in certain areas, and unacceptable aspects of the real self are dissociated and/or repressed, in combination with widespread, devastating devaluation of external objects and their representations Thus, the intrapsychic world of these patients is populated only by their own grandiose self, by devaluated, shadowy images of self and others, and by potential persecutors representing the non¬integrated sadistic superego forerunners, as well as primitive, distorted object images onto whom intense oral sadism has been projected It needs to be stressed again that these developments occur at a point when self and object images have been sufficiently differentiated from each other to assure stable ego boundaries, so that the pathological condensation occurs after the achievement of the developmental stage which separates psychotic from nonpsychotic structures Thus created, the pathological grandiose self permits a certain integration of the ego providing a better overall social adaptation than achieved by borderline patients in general The splitting of the self characteristic of borderline patients is thus compensated for, but at the price of a further deterioration of object relationships, the loss of the capacity to depend, and an ominous capacity for self-protection ·from emotional conflicts with others by withdrawing into the splendid, grandiose isolation which gives the specific seal to the narcissistic organization (Kernberg, 1975, p 282) ▶ This lecture provided in one of the classes of Innovative Coaching Center (ICC) in Korean (한국어) is publicly shared to help Korean-speaking communities and their members located in various continents, countries, and regions of the world have an easy and free access to the life-coaching, psychoanalytic, and spiritual insights and wisdom ▶영어 주교재 Kernberg (1975) Borderline conditions and pathological narcissism New York; Jason Aronson Inc ▶한글 주교재 Kernberg, O 지음 윤순임 외 옮김 (2008) 경계선 장애와 병리적 나르시시즘 서울: 학지사
