Are We All Narcissists? The Phenomenon of Narcissism from Mythology to Pathology
14.99 €
We are all narcissists, self-esteem acrobats, but each in a different way.

We walk a tightrope between healthy self-love and pathological triumph. Between these extremes lies the narcissism of everyday life, conditioned by cultural context. The types of narcissism are numerous—a veritable archipelago of all possible forms.

Psychoanalyst Vittorio Lingiardi's research explores this archipelago. Beginning with myths and works of fiction, the author proceeds to examine classic clinical studies (Lacan and Freud) and the latest theories of the 21st century, illustrating each shade of narcissism with examples from literature and cinema.
