The New World of Self is a remarkable work that reads like a series of master classes on the essentials of what has come to be known as self psychology, founded by the grandmaster himself, Heinz Kohut. Charles Strozier and coauthors, provide a fascinating overview of the evolution of Kohut’s transformative understanding of the self. After laying this groundwork, each consecutive chapter offers a captivating in-depth exploration of the vicissitudes of empathy, transference, dreams, sexuality, rage, and therapeutic process. Strozier and colleagues have brought Kohut’s work into a truly modern-day context, making it accessible for therapists of many different disciplines and a treasured guide for any ardent practitioner of psychotherapy.
