How much does an individual post weigh, anyway? 🤔

Otto Kernberg has a paper called "The almost untreatable narcissistic patient" which is a good read.

Mourning and Melancholia by you guessed who is really a hard one but one of those reads that will leave a lasting impact.

I recently enjoyed this paper by Beverly Stoute: Racial Socialization and Thwarted Mentalization: Reflections of a Psychoanalyst From the Lived Experience of James Baldwin's America.

Where can you find the complete paper? All I can find I what looks like an abstract on ClinicalKey.

Any chance you have copies of some/all of these? I can't find many of them through my University's library.

Edit: As @splik so kindly pointed out to me privately; the hyperlinks all go to a copy of the paper on google drive.

I was thinking theory and technique, but I appreciate anything you may recommend that had lasting impact on how you think and practice
