RT Article T1 The cultural psychology of Kohut's self psychology JF Journal of religion and health VO 25 IS 2 SP 137 OP 141 A1 Randall, Robert L. LA English PB Springer Science + Business Media B. V. YR 1986 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1669128717 AB Contrary to criticism, Heinz Kohut's self psychology does not support an absorption into self nor a morally neutral response to society. Kohut's psychology of the self and narcissism aims toward an analysis of contemporary Western culture that will restore it. In the process of assisting individuals and culture to recover from the vicissitudes of narcissism, Kohut has introduced a new type of cultural psychology, a "culture of empathy".
