Cool. That was much more imbibable. Will try to parse Kohut for sure. Reading all that, what seems to be another interesting line, perhaps only relevant in my mind, to work out this idea of a "fashioning a mature personality" (sorta like a self-Pygmalion?): ([The works of] Wes Anderson is my model for the pschoanalytic within Hollywood being unable to shake off charges of inauthenticity (as a proxy for narcissism or vice versa) Maybe secretly, he admires Tarantino, (who appeals to the right the way he appeals to the Edwardian left?) A prognostication: WA will see himself as having arrived when he can hire a European's European to play his idea of an European. Christoph Waltz vs the guy who basically reprised the English Patient (in ... -Hotel-...). "The director therapeutized by the deputized", to make a rhetorical leap..) I hope reading Kohut will illuminate this prenascent notion that getting a narcissist to worry about the relevance of the imposter syndrome is a promising (diagnostic/analytic, if not therapeutic) approach.. The parental fixation comes off as a bit premature, however. Development-wise I think for many (some?) people school based trauma (from parent/sibling surrogates?) seems much more salient. Doesn't this suggest that cranks that post to arxiv are not driven by an Oedipal impulse? From en.wiki: >Pygmalion is a play by Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, named after the Greek mythological figure. It premiered at the Hofburg Theatre in Vienna on 16 October 1913 and was first presented on stage in German.
