Aspects of a compliant container: considering narcissistic personality configurations
1veraadamo@uol.com.br
Abstract:
Attempts to expand Bion's container-contained model and to use it as an instrument for investigating psychic disorders arising in the analytical context have led the author to conjecture about the model's dynamics. In this paper, she illustrates a hypothetical compliant container by clinical material, in order to describe a psychic structure that contains only what is pleasant, only that which does not cause conflict or pain. Through a dynamic of ideal accommodation, a compliant container makes any disagreements, contradictions, limits and differences disappear, recognizing only what is very familiar and commonplace. The results are misleading, pseudological thoughts and concepts founded on strategic plans to maintain a narcissistic defensive system.
