“…Whereas Paul-Laurent Assoun (1983) reasserted the importance of the choice of narcissistic object for ensuring psychic continuity, Verdon (2015) foregrounds the structuring aspect of new object modalities and the importance of the forbidden. More recently, Tapia and Péruchon (2018) alluded to the linking of the narcissistic and instinctual sequences when they discussed the work of mourning that is so present in older individuals.

Claude Balier's narcissistic theory of ageing may be one of the pillars of French psychogerontology, but it is certainly not set in stone. On closer inspection, instead of being just minor variations on the same theme, the three stages of its development are structured around different references and make different assumptions. Some even contradict each other. Balier's theory nevertheless finds unity in its non-involutionary view of ageing. Narcissism and narcissistic destiny are given a central role, thus calling into question the notion that the paradigmatic function of transference neurosis can account for neurosis in old age. For more than 40 years, Balier's innovative notions have been the subject of many and sometimes divergent extensions in French psycho-gerontology.
