Abstract: Narcissism continues to pose a significant challenge in the realm of psychoanalysis. In this collection of articles, authors delve into the distinction between primary narcissism, characterized by a primitive world devoid of objects, and secondary narcissism, marked by the internalization of the object. They explore the influence of the environment in fostering secondary narcissism, the intricate connection between narcissism and identity, the presence of literary characters that embody psychoanalytic concepts of narcissism, and the interplay between narcissism and creativity.
