“…While Levin (1970) and Moses and Moses-Hrushovski (1990) suggest that an attitude of excessive entitlement is most common in fi rst-born children, others such as Solomon and Leven (1975) hypothesize that it might also develop through identifi cation with parents who have similar attitudes themselves, most writers have thought of excessive entitlement as a defense against psychic pain due to various failures of the primary caregivers ( Adler and Buie, 1973 ;Horney, 1950 ;Shabad, 1993 ). For example, Meyer (1991) found similar childhood histories among patients who exhibited exaggerated entitlement attitudes.…”

Sense of Entitlement in Couple Relationships: An Attachment Theory Perspective

Our sense of entitlement is activated and influences our interactions and attitudes in a wide range of contexts, but it seems to have special relevance to couple relationships, as these intimate relationships serve as a unique meeting point between needs, wishes, and expectations. Emphasis is placed on the connection between one's sense of entitlement in a romantic relationship and early experiences of entitlement in the context of relationships with primary caregivers. An understanding of the development of normal and pathological senses of entitlement is suggested based on attachment theory; according to this understanding, one's sense of entitlement is conceived as part of internal working models and thus is closely related to one's specific attachment style. Two clinical illustrations that show the effects of the partners' sense of entitlement on their relationship are presented and discussed in connection with early attachments.

“…Other researchers have found that various interpersonal characteristics, such as self-identity, self-esteem, and intergenerational dependence (Lawson & Brossart, 2001), are subject to intergenerational transmission; even moods, such as depression in the grandmother and mother, have been found to be transmitted to the granddaughter (Hammen, Shih & Brennan, 2004). The major theories on intergenerational transmission, among them those that follow the behavioral approach (Bandura, 1971;Macewen, 1994), the family approach (Bowen, 1978;Fine & Norris, 1989;Framo, 1981), and the psychoanalytic approach (Greenberg & Mitchell, Bandura, 1971;Macewen, 1994 ;Shabad, 1993), all agree on this essential definition. The behavioral theories emphasize the process of modeling and reinforcement as a major type of learning in which children not only experience but also observe and listen to the behaviors of central figures in their lives (Bandura, 1977).…”

Background: Given that many social workers in fact work with the economically disadvantaged, it may be assumed that their attitudes stem from their academic studies combined with attitudes acquired through intergenerational transmission. The study poses two main questions: 1) what are the attitudes of Israeli social work students, as well as those of their parents and their grandparents towards the causes of poverty? 2) How does each of the three generation' members approach the question -what is the best way for the state to deal with the problem of poverty?Methods: The convenient sample consisted of 218 Arab and Jewish families, with three self-report questionnaires per family for the three generations.Results: findings indicated that the majority of participants, in all three generations, considered the socio-structural factor to be the most significant cause of poverty. Similarly, most participants in this study also reported that they preferred that the state expand its welfare program and increase the budgets in order to assist the population in need and thus address the poverty problem.

Narcissistic Temptations to Cross Boundaries and How to Manage Them

The narcissism of analysts is considered here from the perspective of the narcissistic temptations of boundary crossing. The literature on boundary crossing in psychoanalysis has focused minimally on the more ordinary, nonsexual temptations analysts face with their patients. Narcissistic temptations with particularly impressive patients are explored. What analysts find impressive in their patients depends both on what patients bring and on what analysts need. This paper aims to heighten analysts' awareness of their narcissistic needs in treating patients who tempt them too much. The goal is for analysts to be able to catch and then examine their narcissistic excitement with such patients in order to avoid compromising the treatment. Danger signs and ways of managing the problems they point toward are presented.
