The speaker discusses the concept of a system of residuals in narcissism, where two distinct narcissistic self-states—overt and covert—can coexist simultaneously within one individual, leading to internal conflict and dissonance. This binary system arises when neither state is effective alone, resulting in self-supply dynamics through mutual hostility and fantasy defenses. The speaker suggests that this state, while challenging, presents a unique therapeutic opportunity to induce vulnerability and promote healing through educational and empathetic interventions.
