In this second edition of her groundbreaking book, Dr. Joan Lachkar addresses the ever-changing faces and phases of narcissism within the context of marital therapy and discusses the new developments in the treatment of marital conflict. Drawing from many different theoretical frameworks, mainly self-psychology (Kohut) and object relations (Klein), the works of D.W. Winnicott and Kernberg are expanded to further explain why couples stay in painful, conflictual, never-ending relationships (traumatic bonding).
