I love Kohut, partly because he seems to theorize the exact kind of therapy I need.
"Narcissistic disorder" I think isn't the same as having NPD to Kohut. To him, I think it's about addressing fundamental defects in the self, which can manifest in a lot of different ways--self-effacement, self-aggrandizement, or attachment to another or a goal as a substitute for a real, internally directed self.
