Understanding storytelling tests through self theory – part 3 – Idealization


This is a third post in this subject.  The posts are inspired by Prof.  Marshall Silverstein's excellent book:

Self psychology and diagnostic assessment: identifying selfobject functions through psychological 
testing. 

In part three (here), we'll see how to find indications of idealizing self object needs is projective tests.

In part one (here, and also in the right hand column of this blog, under the heading "personality 
theories/psychotherapy")  we've seen how to identify signs of a non cohesive self in projective stories.

In part two  (here, and also in the right hand column of this blog, under the heading "personality theories/psychotherapy")  we've seen how to identify indications of mirroring needs in projective stories.
