| | Narcissism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The main function of such reactive and transient secondary narcissism is to encourage the individual to engage in magical thinking, to wish the problem away or to enchant it or to tackle and overcome it from a position of omnipotence. | | | Whether the child develops a normal or a pathological form of narcissism depends on the relations between the representations of the self (the image of the self that the child forms in his or her mind) and the representations of objects (the images of other people that the child forms in his or her mind). | | | The first occurrence of narcissism is adaptive in that it trains the child to love an available object (his or her self) and to feel gratified. |

| | Narcissism |
| | Narcissism is defined as "concern for self, feel good about self, erotic feeling aroused by one's own body and personality" (Webster). | | | The doctor continues, "When narcissism is for survival, as with the infant and the founding of a country, it is not as destructive as when one is established, successful, and affluent; that no nation has survived success and the guest for immediate satisfaction." He mentions the fall of ancient Rome as an example. | | | Stern says that unless the child is disciplined to think of others, it is headed for a life of misery and destruction. |

| | Narcissism and Association |
| | This concept of narcissism is larger and more basic than the concept of self-interest used by economic theory, which generally describes people as seeking what they believe is in their interest, and avoiding what is not in their interest. | | | When this narcissism is paired off with other human abilities, such as our ability to reason, and the struggle for survival, we get the calculating, strategizing characters of economic theory. | | | Negative emotions, based in our narcissism and esteem system, are a part of what keep us in line with taboos. |

| | The Impact of Narcissism on Leadership and Sustainability |
| | A third factor which reinforces the stranglehold narcissism can have is when people are committed to being "nice" or fair, and as a result are unwilling or unprepared to hold the narcissist accountable for positions or behaviors. | | | Before we discuss how narcissism can be detected and engaged effectively, it is important to review factors which contribute to narcissism being able to effectively control situations and relationships. | | | Unless one has the experience of dealing with narcissism, it is difficult to appreciate how strong a force drives the grandiosity of the narcissism. |

| | Dr. Sanity: NARCISSISM AND SOCIETY: Part I - The Psychology of the Self |
| | Freud’s view of Narcissism can be summed up by saying that true psychic health requires a complete dissociation from the primary Narcissism inherent in the infant and child. | | | The individual during his or her development tries to find and maintain a form of self love that is compatible with healthy relationships with other(this is called “object relations” in psychiatry). | | | One of Kohut’s breaks with Freudian tradition is that he considered Narcissism affirmatively, as an essential part of the Self; and described how it develops in the healthy individual. |

| | Freud: On Narcissism |
| | These behaviors reflect a sense of the self as powerful, able to have an influence on external reality, and Freud believes that such an investment in the self is a part of human development. | | | We all have impulses to nourish ourselves and to protect ourselves from danger; these impulses are bound up with our desires, and we can't neatly separate our sexual desires (directed at other humans) from our inwardly directed desire to care for ourselves. | | | Other clues to the existence of primary narcissism come from observations of children and what Freud calls "primitive peoples," who engage in what Freud in Totem and Taboo calls "magical thinking": for example, believing that wishing for something will make it appear, or that uttering a spell will have real effects. |

| | So, the insidious thing about narcissism is that we recovering narcissists can be acutely aware—intellectually—of our condition, while all the while it is the water in which we swim. | | | Psychologically speaking, narcissism is forged in childhood when we split off parts of ourselves, lose sight of our needs, and develop as less than whole in our being. | | | Given this volatile ego-structure, it's no surprise that the boomer's first steps in the direction of healing from narcissism are into the characteristically self-absorbed, subjective exploration of feelings from past trauma. |

| | The disorder is defined by the DSM as characterized by an all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), the need for excessive admiration or adulation, and a distinct lack of empathy, all of which are present in a variety of contexts. | | | The narcissist uses the False Self to regulate his or her labile sense of self-worth by extracting from any form of attention, both positive and negative, his narcissistic supply. | | | Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a form of pathological narcissism that first appeared as a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders in 1980, in the edition known as DSM III-TR. |
