This paper is an exposition of some remarkable improvements in the mental functioning of a severely narcissistic personality. Detailed clinical data are presented as evidence that these improvements should be attributed to and justified the application of the
psychoanalytic method extending over a period of twelve years. Supervision provided insights into the resistances characteristic of narcissistic transferences. A theory of the dynamics of the therapeutic process is presented and documented by clinical and supervisory observations.
