The ego ideal : a psychoanalytic essay on the malady of the ideal

Chasseguet-Smirgel, Janine, 1928-1985
Books
Once the ego-ideal is distinguished from the super-ego, it becomes possible to make sense of much that formerly remained obscure in psychoanalytic theory. Chasseguet-Smirgel illuminates not only the psychology of narcissism in individuals but many of the connections between psychic life and society.
