Utilizing Kohut's theoretical formulations on the psychoanalysis of narcissistic personality disorders, the author focuses on termination issues. Clinical vignettes are presented to illustrate the qualitative change with which the narcissistic patient receives, tolerates, and integrates interpretations; and the gradual process of experiencing and learning to tolerate disappointment or disillusionment as manifested at termination of treatment.
