The narcissist thus remains stuck at the infantile level, displaying many of the characteristics of the omnipotent and invulnerable child (Kohut, 1977). Kernberg's Theory of Narcissism Kernberg's views on narcissism are based on Mahler's theory of the separation-individuation process in infancy and early childhood.

Kernberg argues that the narcissist is ... to understand the dynamics of the practicing subphase before proceeding to tackle the narcissist"s fixation at the rapprochement subphase.
