Current research findings link narcissism to an overvalued sense of self-worth, self-admiration, and a sense of entitlement (American Psychiatric Association, 1987;Kernberg, 1986;Masterson, 1981), the tendency to use others for personal gain (i.e., exploitativeness), craving for excitement (Kohut, 1971(Kohut, , 1977 feelings of envy and contempt (Kernberg, 1975), a sensationseeking propensity (Emmons, 1981), and the need for immediate gratification of wishes and desires (Wink & Gough, 1990).

Positive and negative implications of two types of college-age narcissism on psychosocial functioning at midlife were studied in a longitudinal sample of women. Both types were scored with self-report measures when the women were, on the average, age 21. Throughout the first half of their adult life, high scorers on covert narcissism presented themselves as lacking in confidence and having low morale; high scorers on overt narcissism described themselves as wanting admiration, being independent, and being forceful. Positive outcomes associated with covert narcissism included the development of insight and of a differentiated sense of the self and, in the case of overt narcissism, entailed an involvement in high-status and creative work careers. At midlife, high scorers on covert narcissism experienced negative affect and feelings of being neglected, whereas high scorers on overt narcissism experienced family conflict and problems with impulse control. The personality characteristics associated with both types of narcissism remained stable from the early 20s to early 50s.

La pathologie de l'état limite (borderline) est un défi pour le champ de la santé mentale à cause de sa dynamique complexe et des difficultés de traitement. James F. Masterson est un leader et un pionnier dans le diagnostic et le traitement du trouble limite du soi (borderline disorder of the self). Son travail est basé sur 30 ans d'expérience clinique et de recherches intensives intégrées à une synthèse des plus importants concepts psychodynamiques incluant la théorie du développement, la relation d'objet et les concepts du soi. Sa théorie spécifique et sa technique psychothérapeutique se sont avérées particulièrement efficaces dans la compréhension et le traitement de ce syndrome controversé qui est au centre des préoccupations psychothérapeutiques.Borderline pathology challenges the mental health field with its dynamic complexity and management difficulties.

Counselors of all types need an understanding of and an ability to work with issues described by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM‐IV; American Psychiatric Association, 1994). The traditional approach to the DSM‐IV tends to locate the problem in the client, whereas a developmental approach focuses on the client in social and historical context. Specific recommendations for organizing a comprehensive treatment plan are presented. The authors endorse an educational and developmental role for counselors.
