Narcissism in the usual sense is excessive love for oneself, behind which a person does not see the feelings, desires, needs of the people around him.
In fact, narcissism is a personality disorder, and what others take for narcissism, self-absorption, is just an external manifestation of a powerful mental defense — from heartache, self-doubt, fragile identity. The book describes the theories of narcissism from the point of view of classical and Jungian psychoanalysis and methods of working with people suffering from narcissistic disorders.
