註釋"This new volume reflects a more thorough look at the destructive manifestations of the fantasy bond and its negative impact on the individual, partners in intimate relationships, families, and the larger society. It emphasizes the exposure of fantasy bonds, manifested externally in the form of imagined connections and internally in the form of a disparaging critical inner voice. The book describes how the fantasy bond acts as a primary psychological defense, partially alleviating anxiety and offering a false sense of security and safety. This revised publication stresses how this illusion of merged identity acts as a buffer against death anxiety, illustrating how this contributes to distortion and maladaptation in personal relationships and other aspects of life. It explains how hurtful, hostile, and rejecting parental attitudes are incorporated into the child's negative self-concept. New case histories illustrate and elaborate the dynamics involved in the underlying forces at work between the fantasy bond and the critical inner voice. The book offers a fresh look into the relationship between the voice and self-destructive behavior, suicide, and acts of violence and describes the development of assessment tools for identifying at-risk individuals. It also presents the latest version of voice therapy, which has proven to be effective in identifying and counteracting both self-destructive attitudes and behavior and cynical, hostile attitudes toward others. This edition is especially timely because it identifies significant psychological and social factors, based on people's defensive responses to existential fears, that contribute to malignant prejudice, warfare, terrorism, and ethnic cleansing."--Quote from XML file.
