The Restoration of the Self

Kohut redefines his position vis a vis S.Freud and demonstrates the classical drive and its topographic structures are not self sufficient.Much more is needed to approach the complexity of the human mind. Compelling and dense this book will twist your mind. Kohut is a brilliant master and a very wise professional because he understands the paradigm of psychoanalytic progress.Kohut also understands and demonstrates the fundamental notion of mental readiness before asking a question or answering it.Before asking a question you should first question yourself,about the question you are about to ask and make sure you have, yourself, explored all the possible responses... I believe,today, Kohut is still one of the two(the other one being Otto Kernberg)most prominent minds of the 21st century in the psychoanalytical universe.
