The Deconstruction of Narcissism and the Function of the Object explores the topic of narcissistic suffering and presents an innovative take on its psychoanalytic treatment through the deconstruction of its solipsism. René Roussillon introduces the project of reconstructing what remains of narcissistic and solipsistic propositions in the theories of narcissism, providing a new approach to treatment that offers more satisfactory therapeutic results than current practice.

The Deconstruction of Narcissism and the Function of the Object delves into the realm of narcissistic suffering and offers a groundbreaking perspective on its psychoanalytic treatment through the deconstruction of its solipsism. Building upon intuitions articulated by Freud and Winnicott,René Roussillon presents the project of reconstructing what remains of narcissistic and solipsistic propositions within the theories of narcissism. Roussillon's work explores his insights into narcissism, its diverse pathological manifestations, and its relationship to the concept of the object. Spanning various topics, including sexualization and desexualization in psychoanalysis, the symbolizing function of the object, transference and associativity, this novel approach to treatment yields more satisfactory therapeutic outcomes compared to current practices that solely focus on analyzing narcissistic impasses from an intrapsychic perspective.

This book holds significant appeal for psychoanalytic and psychodynamic clinicians.
