Sažetak
This paper is a commentary on the Psychosis Neurosis story written by a patient to his
therapist in an email form. The clues in the text have led me towards the pathology of the
self, i.e towards the developmental arrest due to the unsatisfied self-object needs. Since no
additional information was available about the patient, save for the email, we can only speculate
about the patient’s diagnosis, the causes of his state, and the course and outcome of his
therapy sessions. Due to the fact of me being led, associatively, towards self-psychology, in
this work I focused on mirroring, narcissism and narcissistic personality disorders, the self,
self-object needs, and therapeutic options for narcissistic personality disorders with special
attention paid to the versions of transfer and the importance of empathy. I also mentioned
some psychiatric disorders that often appear in comorbidity with narcissistic disorders.
