This essay—presented originally as the Kohut Memorial Lecture at the 29th annual international conference on The Psychology of the Self in 2006-deals with my subjective appraisal of Heinz Kohut's work; what has endured and what has changed in the last 25 years since his death. In this survey I spell out how I have reacted to and learned from the new trends in what is our contemporary, expanded self psychology. The essence of what I have learned can be summed up briefly as follows: I have searched for new empirical data in the various contributions to see whether or not my self psychology could account for the same data with its own concepts. With this question in mind, I have briefly examined intersubjectivity, relational analysis, and the motivational systems theory from my perspective. I ended my presentation with an imaginary conversation with Heinz Kohut, related to the issues presented on three of the panels at this 29th self psychology conference.
