This book reflects the psychic wounds of narcissism from the
perspective of Jungian analytical psychology. Oriented towards the
richness and plurality of the psyche, it sheds light on clinical
practice as well as the common and intricate issues of this
personality type. Narcissism is described as a grandiose sense of
self, exhibitionistic, needing reassurance, but suffering in disturbed
relationships. The perspective of Jungian analytical psychology
expands the symbolism within narcissism. Clinical examples, dreams,
the myth of Narcissus and Echo, and basic Jungian concepts move us
further into the psyche. Topics covered are: what narcissism is and
why it’s misunderstood, and if narcissists are capable of love and
their perfectionist burden. It explores how to forge knowledge and
emotional transformation with a narcissist in clinical treatment and
all relationships. Exploring this complex and intriguing phenomenon,
the book will appeal to readers and therapists from various fields
including psychoanalysis, general psychology, gender studies, culture,
and sociology.
