We must all combat what the author calls \"primary narcissism, \" a projection of the child our parents wanted. Each of the book's five chapters begins with one or more case studies drawn from the author's clinical experience as a psychoanalyst. In these studies he links his central concern - the image of the child created by the unconscious desire of the parents - to other issues, such as the question of love, the concept of the subject, and the death drive. In the penultimate chapter, on transference, the author challenges the commonplace understanding of the analyst's impassivity. What does such impassivity imply, especially in the context of a \"transferential love\" between a female patient and a male analyst? In replying to this question, the author forcefully reassesses the relation of psychoanalysis to femininity, to the question, \"What does a woman want?\"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Child Is Being Killed: On Primary Narcissism and the Death Drive | Serge LeClaire | Paperback | 9780804731416 | Used: Good | Back Stacks R 1772339","offer_id":49575629914264,"sku":"1772339","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61QgTdzIVnL.jpg?v=1785266160","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/child-is-being-killed-on-primary-narcissism-and-the-death-drive","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
