Dr. Sacksteder’s chapter begins this book with an analysis of the history of psychoanalytic conceptualizations of narcissism from Sigmund Freud to Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg. Along the way, he shows how such post-Freudian European analytic contributors as Klein, Fairbairn, and others contributed to the development of the concept of narcissism, foreshadowing the contrasting points of view espoused by Kernberg and Kohut in modem psychoanalytic conceptualizations of narcissism.
