abstract="In therapy, suicidal borderline patients often use the therapist as a &quot;selfobject,&quot; an object that regulates the patient's narcissistic equilibrium. To demonstrate this concept, the author presents the case history of a young woman who created a &quot;selfobject transference&quot; by means of attacks on the therapist similar to those she herself had experienced in childhood. Her massive, hidden attacks were also troublesome to the therapists' own feeling of self-worth.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
