🎧 On Narcissism by Freud – Part 1/9: "The Origins of Narcism: Freud's Clinical Breakthrough" Full audiobook reading • Public domain text (1914) In this first installment of Sigmund Freud's groundbreaking 1914 essay "On Narcissism: An Introduction," Freud redefines narcissism—not as a mere perversion, but as a fundamental phase of human psychological development essential to understanding schizophrenia, love, and the structure of the mind itself. 🔹 What you'll hear in this part: • How Paul Näcke coined the term "narcissism" in 1899 to describe self-directed eroticism • Why Freud argues narcissism exists on a spectrum—from pathological perversion to a universal trait in all living beings • The clinical puzzle of paraphrenia (schizophrenia): patients who withdraw libido from the external world and retreat into megalomania • Freud's revolutionary amoeba metaphor: the ego as a cell body sending out pseudopodia (object-cathexes) of love • How observations of children and "primitive peoples" reveal a universal primary narcissism rooted in the "omnipotence of thoughts" 📜 Historical context: Written in 1914 amid Freud's theoretical battles with Carl Jung and the Swiss school, this essay marks a turning point in psychoanalysis—expanding libido theory beyond neurosis to explain psychosis, self-esteem, and the birth of conscience. ⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction: From perversion to universal trait 01:45 Narcissism in neurotics & homosexuals (Sadger) 03:20 The paraphrenic's withdrawal from reality 05:10 Megalomania as redirected object-libido 06:35 Primary vs. secondary narcissism 07:50 Children, "primitive peoples," and the amoeba metaphor 🔔 Subscribe for the full 9-part series.
