Herr Professor Doktor Kernberg is not the phrasemaker that Herbert Marcuse (or Friedrich Nietzsche) was and he is no Leftist either but that doesn't stop him from incorporating the work of the Frankfurt School (and citing its theorists directly) into his psychodynamic theory and making some very memorable and quotable statements. An acknowledged expert on Borderline Personality Organization (with Pathological Narcissism as an attendant feature) he mostly writes about individual psychopathology from an Object Relations perspective. But in a truly great book called Ideology, Confict and Leadership in Groups and Organizatons he delves into social theory and produces what I regard as his masterwork. He criticizes dysfunctional authoritarian administrative structures, antiquated psychoanalytic educational practices, and what Adorno called "The Culture Industry." All of this is built on the mass psychology of Freud, group theory of Wilfred Bion and Kenneth Rice, and the notion of paranoiagenic (v. "requisite") institutions developed by Elliott Jacques. This particular quote is brilliant and disturbing. Anyone who has ever worked with the type of individual it describes can only marvel at how eloquently Dr. K (86 years old and still practicing medicine in Westchester and teaching at Weill Cornell) articulates the problem.
