Shame and Jealousy
A volume in the Psychoanalytic Ideas Series, published for the Institute of Psychoanalysis by Karnac. Here, shame and jealousy are examined as hidden turmoils; as basic human feelings found in everyone but often suppressed and neglected. An unfulfilled need, unanswered plea for help, and failure to connect with and understand other people are all underlying causes for shame and feeling inadequate. The author argues that feelings of shame form an …

Anxiety, supervision and a space for thinking
The process of learning psychotherapy involves narcissistic dangers — there may be injuries to self‐esteem and self‐image, especially when working with certain kinds of disturbed and hostile patients. Some patients will unconsciously recreate, in the transference, representations of early damaging experiences with parents, but now reversed with the therapist as the victim.

Narcissistic vulnerability and the fragile self
The phenomenon of narcissistic vulnerability is described and the history of the concept is outlined. With clinical illustrations from individual and group psychotherapy it is described how some people are prone to show strong reactions to the narcissistic injuries of feeling slighted or ignored.

A concept of a ‘fragile self’ is formulated and developed; the depressive state is seen as protecting …
Shame in relation to narcissistic disturbance
For some patients, whose sense of self is fragile, shame may be a more important affect than guilt. It is suggested here that shame functions to enhance and preserve the sense of self, and that shame arises particularly in people whose early environment has impeded the emergence of a cohesive sense of self. Using a clinical illustration several features of shame are described, including its association with vision and with sexuality, and its role…
