O narcisismo e a etiologia das psicoses na metapsicologia freudiana

Abstract

In the present work, we intend to cross the paths of the construction of the concept of narcissism in Freud, punctuating his reformulations and metapsychological consequences in the course of his work in order to highlight the relevance of the concept in the proposal of an etiology of psychoses. In this way, we will try to go through the conceptual construction of narcissism in Freud’s work and its implications in the first libidinal theory, with the consequent problematization on the Self that, from then on, as well as a drive source, becoming the object of the drive, will culminate in the emergence of the second stinct theory and, consequently, in the second topic, and especially for the present work, the concept of Ego ideal.
