others but on the inside, they cannot rely on others due to trust issues and boredom from the relationship (Hudson 13). Kernberg’s foe, Kohut, believed narcissism was caused by a parental lack of empathy throughout childhood as well (McLean). The narcissistic adult, Kohut says, seeks validation on his sense of value from other individuals to boost his self-esteem (McLean). In Kohut’s form of therapy, the patient is assured, by the therapist, of their validation and self worth through two…
