==Sigmund Freud==
===Development of the Term===
The term "[[narcissism]]" first appears in [[Freud]]'s [[Works of Sigmund Freud|work]] in 1910, but it is not until his [[work]] "[[Freud|On Narcissism: An Introduction]]"<ref>{{F}} "[[Works of Sigmund Freud|On Narcissism: An Introduction]]," 1914c. [[SE]] XIV, 69.</ref> that the [[concept]] begins to play a central [[role]] in [[psychoanalytic theory]].
Self-love. Ideally, ===Investment of the libido directs its energies to objects ("object-libido"), including eventually one's love-object. However, Libido in the libido can also attach itself to the ego ("ego-libido") to the exclusion of external object-cathexes. This situation leadsEgo===From this point on, according to [[Freud, to narcissistic behavior and to narcissistic neuroses such ]] defines [[narcissism]] as megalomania. Lacan makes narcissism an even more central aspect of the human psyche, aligning it with what he terms the "imaginary order," one of the three major structures investment of [[libido]] in the psyche (along with the Real and the symbolic order). Lacan suggests that[[ego]], whereas the zero form of sexuality for animals is copulation, the zero form of sexuality for humans is masturbation. The act of sex for humans is so much caught up in our fantasies (our idealized images of both ourselves and our sexual partners) that it is ultimately narcissistic. As Lacan puts opposes itto [[object]]-[[love]], "That's what love in which [[libido]] is. It's one's own ego that one loves invested in love, one's own ego made real on the imaginary level."<ref>(Freud'[[object]]s Papers 142).</ref>
===Birth of the Ego===
[[Lacan]] attributes great importance to this [[phase]] in [[Freud]]'s work, since it clearly inscribes the [[ego]] as an [[object]] of the [[libido|libidinal economy]], and [[links]] the [[birth]] of the [[ego]] to the [[narcissism|narcissistic stage]] of [[development]].
Freud defines narcissism as ===Narcissistic Stage of Development===[[Narcissism]] is different from the investment prior [[stage]] of libido [[autoeroticism]] (in which the [[ego. Freud inscribes the ego ]] does not [[exist]] as an object of the libidinal economy. Lacan associates the a [[unity]]), and only comes [[about]] when "a new [[psychical]] [[action]]" gives birth of to the [[ego with the narcissistic stage of development]].
==Jacques Lacan =====Myth of Narcissus===[[Lacan]] develops Freud’s [[Freud]]'s concept by linking it more explicitly with its namesake, the [[myth ]] of [[Narcissus.Lacan thus defines narcissism as the erotic attraction to the specular image; this erotic relation underlies the primary identification by which the ego is formed in the mirror stage]].
Narcissism has both an ===Identification with the Specular Image===[[Lacan]] thus defines [[narcissism]] as the erotic and an aggressive character. It is attraction to the [[specular image]]; this erotic in that relation underlies the subject is strongly attracted to primary [[identification]] by which the gestalt that [[ego]] is his image. It is aggressive formed in that the wholeness of the specular iamge contrasts with the uncoordinated disunity of the subject’s real body, and thus seems to threaten the subject with disintegration[[mirror stage]].
The narcissistic relation (with ===Erotic-Aggressive Character of Narcissism===[[Narcissism]] has both an [[erotic]] [[character]] and an [[aggressive]] character. It is erotic, as the myth of [[Narcissus]] shows, since the [[subject]] is strongly attracted to the [[gestalt]] that is his [[image]]. It is [[aggressive]], since the [[wholeness]] of the [[specular image) constitutes ]] contrasts with the imaginary dimension uncoordinated disunity of human relationships (S3the [[subject]]'s [[real]] [[body]], 92)and thus seems to threaten the [[subject]] with [[fragmented body|disintegration]].
===="Narcissistic Suicidal Aggression"====
In "[[Lacan|Remarks on Psychic Sausality]],"<ref>{{L}} "[[Work of Jacques Lacan|Propos sur la causalité psychique]]", in {{E}} [1946]. pp. 151-93</ref> [[Lacan]] coins the term "[[narcissism|narcissistic suicidal aggression]]" (''[[narcissism|aggression suicidaire narcissique]]'') to express the fact that the [[eroticism|erotic]]-[[aggressive]] character of the [[narcissistic]] infatuation with the [[specular image]] can lead the [[subject]] to [[self]]-[[destruction]] (as the myth of [[Narcissus]] also illustrates).<ref>{{Ec}} p. 187; {{Ec}} p. 174</ref>
 
===Imaginary Dimension of Human Relationships===
The [[narcissistic]] relation constitutes the [[imaginary]] [[dimension]] of [[human]] relationships.<ref>{{S3}} p. 92</ref>
