Exemplar von Stavros Mentzos. - American psychiatry and psychoanalysis have, for the last thirty years, focused on a previously ignored disorder referred to by a multitude of terms: pseudo-neurotic schizophrenia, borderline state, schizophrenic personality, psychotic character, "as if" personality, and schizoid personality. This broad category of patient has been studied by Zilboorg, Hoch, Polatin, Rapaport, Gill and Schafer, Frosch, Jacobson, and Greenson. Now with this definitive study of the borderline condition Otto Kernberg makes a major contribution to the understanding and handling of these difficult cases. "I am very glad that the last part of the book consists of a critical discussion of Heinz Kohut's work on the self. In this discussion Kernberg shows his different viewpoints regarding the theory and clinical treatment of narcissistic personalities. I enjoyed it all the more since I share Kernberg's viewpoints. This book is one of the most important contributions of the psychoanalytic literature of our time." (Edith Jacobson) "This book represents Kernberg's widely heralded work with borderline and narcissistic personality organizations and is clearly among the most brilliant of his contributions. Otto Kernberg stands high among those psychoanalysts who have demonstrated that the applications of classical psychoanalysis afford us the most meaningful indepth understanding of the full range of psycho-syndromes. His work has afforded psychotherapists and psychoanalysts crucial insight into the nature of some of their most baffling and least understood patients and has provided them with important clinical techniques."
