The author will suggest that while Tuckett\u2019s methodology of unearthing the implicit suppositions that analysts bring to their clinical work and data are profoundly illuminating, this work itself is organized by his own supposition that the core of psychoanalysis is the discovery and uncovering of an extant unconscious structure that he terms \u201cX.\u201d Leaning on Neville Symington, the author illustrates how Tuckett\u2019s suppositions and consequent conclusions regarding Kohut\u2019s innovation of Self Psychology\u2014and much contemporary psychoanalysis\u2014is based on a conflation of the primary with the secondary and manifests an attachment to classical psychoanalysis rather than being in relation to it. The author illustrates how many contemporary psychoanalysts are concerned with a wider range of phenomena than the revelation of the underlying template or \u201cX\u201d and will conclude that Kohut\u2019s contributions have advanced psychoanalysis rather than undermining it.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00030651261487926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]],"date-time":"2026-09-30T07:24:26Z","timestamp":1790753066000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Collaborators and Successors; Attachment and Relation: A Discussion of David Tuckett\u2019s Paper \u201cRevolution and Its (Unwitting) Discontents: Did Kohut\u2019s Ideas Enhance or Undermine American Psychoanalysis?\u201d"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-9614-1083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert","family":"Grossmark","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","volume-title":"The surviving object: Psychoanalytic clinical essays on psychic survival-of-the-object","author":"Abram J.","year":"2022","unstructured":"Abram J.
