[Ego and narcissism theory between 1914 and 1922 as it appears in the International Journal of Medical Psychoanalysis].

Ulrike May-Tolzmann

Abstract

The publication of Freud's essay on narcissism in 1914 set off a discussion about the psychoanalytic concepts of the ego and of narcissism. The author reviews this discussion by reference to articles appearing in the Int. Z. ärztl. Psa. between 1914 and 1922. She highlights the theoretical and technical modifications corresponding to this discussion and demonstrates that apparently modern theories of the ego and of narcissism have their roots largely in that period.
