This book explores the nature of psychic suffering due to the
narcissistic drama and how one can emerge over time to live an
autonomous life. The narcissistic drama involves the saga of
narcissistic wounding in childhood, resulting from narcissistic
parenting, eventually giving way to emotional pain in adulthood
marked by feelings of unworthiness and lack of genuine purpose. The
dynamics of the narcissistic drama are herein demonstrated through
an analysis of experience in D. H. Lawrence’s autobiographical
novel, Sons and Lovers. The emotional suffering depicted in this
novel provides a pristine picture of the drama itself.

The focus of this book subsequently takes up the question of what
narcissistically injured adults can do to become free from the
constraints of this drama. This is accomplished through a
discussion about the nature of therapeutic action. This discussion
centres on describing a therapeutic approach to resolve psychic
defenses that have led to blocks in emotional growth and the
progressive formation of the mind. The aim of therapeutic action is
to put old ghosts to rest and pave the way towards psychological
birth and freedom.
