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.
