The gist of the author's thesis is that analysts are not accustomed to working with perverse reactions. This leads to narcissistic countertransferences which
inevitably create more difficulties for the analyst. Goldberg also relates the perverse acts to narcissistic difficulties. When narcissism has reached an equilibrium, the perverse acts may disappear and then reappear when a disequilibrium occurs.
