Kohut's work is divided into three parts, with a separate introductory chapter. This introductory chapter was written last, when Kohut's younger colleagues told him that the book should have this kind of an introduction. Thus the book begins with a concise summary of the work. The book deals with the so-called narcissistic transferences.
Kohut explained, in 1977, that in all he wrote on the psychology of the self, he purposely did not define the self.

[21] In Kohut's tradition, the features of healthy narcissism are: Strong self-regard. Empathy for others and recognition of ...
To Kohut, idealization in childhood is a healthy mechanism. If the parents fail to provide appropriate opportunities for idealization ( healthy narcissism ) and mirroring (how to cope with reality), the child does not develop beyond a developmental stage in which they see themselves as grandiose but in which they also remain dependent on others ...
Yet, Kohut argues that we must simultaneously be able to treat the self as a content of the mental apparatus. In saying this, Kohut retains the Freudian structural model of the mind, with the self as a content within this structure, while also at the same time, from another perspective, discarding it.
In psychology, introjection (also known as identification or internalization) [1] is the unconscious adoption of the thoughts or personality traits of others.
