Sigmund Freud On Narcissism

Produktbeskrivelse

On Narcissism: An Introduction is widely considered an introduction to Freud's theories ofnarcissism. In the paper, Freud sums up his earlier discussions on the subject of narcissism and considers its place in sexual development.Furthermore, he looks at the deeper problems of the relation between the ego and external objects, drawing a new distinction between the 'ego-libido' and 'object-libido'. He introduces the idea of the 'ego ideal', and the self-observing agency related to it.Freud also looks briefly at his controversies withCarl JungandAlfred Adler; indeed one of his motives for writing this was probably to show that the concept of narcissism offers an alternative to Jung's non-sexual 'libido' and Adler's 'masculine protest'.
