This presentation on the Closet Narcissist begins with a theoretical background, and then enters the vivid drama of the “Blue Jasmine” character in Woody Allen’s movie “Blue Jasmine.” Scenes from this film bring the Closet Narcissist front stage center, and show the tragic self-sabotage that is inevitable when the pathology of the Closet Narcissist character is not treated. Then the Jungian and Object Relations dynamics of the “Demon Lover Complex” are expressed with mythological references and metaphors. This is followed by a clinical vignette, which illustrates the healing of developmental trauma in a female patient with the Closet Narcissism syndrome, which was played out exquisitely in the transference, and resolved in the psyche of the patient through the progress of “Developmental Mourning” as in the theories of Susan Kavaler-Adler.
Part II: A Role Play Demonstration will follow on Sunday, November 6, 2022.
