In this paper I have presented clinical material which emphasized the way a narcissistic part of
the personality can acquire a disproportionate power by gaining a hold on the healthier parts of the personality, and I have suggested that it does this to the extent that it can persuade these parts to enter into a perverse liaison. An understanding of these liaisons can help the analyst to resist some of the pressure to act out with his patient.
