Presented by the Psychoanalytic Association of WCSPP
One of the most challenging aspects of working with patients who report childhood histories of abuse and/or neglect is bringing the patient’s attention to the parts of them that treat others with some form of the same cruelty of which they were the victim. This paper describes some clinical encounters with an adult patient with a history of intensely disorganized attachment to highly narcissistic parents. The author grapples with aspects of the patient’s suffering that evoke aversive, dysregulated feelings in him and describes the means he pursued to negotiate a more constructive and generative intersubjective experience with the patient.
Dan Shaw is in private practice in New York City and in Nyack, NY. He is faculty and supervisor at NIP in New York, and at WCSPP. He is the author of Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation, published by Routledge for the Relational Perspectives Series.
