Restoring the self

This is the first major work of Hainz Kochut, translated into Russian. The psychology of the self is complemented by a traditional psychoanalytic approach. Its distinctive feature is close attention to the individual’s experience of his own value. Compared to the gloomy anthropology of Sigmund Freud and Melanie, Klein drawn by Hinz Kochut and his followers, the picture of the human personality looks more optimistic. Supporters of the psychology of the Self have convincingly proved that support, love and recognition are extremely important for the normal development of the personality of children and adults, and that in the past, psychoanalysts were incorrectly related to this problem.
The book is primarily addressed to psychotherapists and everyone who is interested in the problems of personality psychology
