On Narcissism: An Introduction by Sigmund Freud

On Narcissism is an essay by Sigmund Freud written in 1914. The essay concerns Freud's psychoanalytic theory of narcissism in relation to sexual development. Freud examines the distinction between "object-libido" and "ego-libido," and the concept of an ego ideal, which becomes the center of self-obsession and reflection. The essay is also considered a refutation of theories by Jung and Adler, attempting to demonstrate the validity of his own theory of narcissism over non-sexual libido or "masculine protest."
