The narcissistic response to life propels the Jungian process of individuation. The internal splits and fractured selves set up distance between who one is and who one wants to be. Emphasized is the concept of the shadow, dissociation, and the relationship to the narcissist in oneself and others. This person is characterized by feelings of fraudulence and vulnerability bounded by a wall of impenetrability, a form of self-dissociation, leaving feelings of being an impostor. Reality is fraught with anguish, panic, absence, and void although the person exudes an appealing but elusive facade. Life can no longer be avoided with compulsions, perfectionism, and ego-drive. The growth towards maturity involves exploring the reality of the psyche, something difficult for this personality type. In this course, we will approach narcissism not with mere pathology but with an understanding of vulnerability and difficulties with intimacy and love.
