Narcissism and Aggression

    Classical Adlerian Psychotherapy (Stein)


    Narcissism and Aggression
    by Henry Stein, 9/6/98

    For an interesting study on the roots of aggression, read http://www.drkoop.com/healthnews/rhn0723/t072302.asp

    Titled, "Narcissists Most Prone to Aggesstion," it begins: "A surprising new study suggests that the psychological profile of an aggressive person may be more likely to include narcissism -- an exaggerated sense of one's superiority -- rather than low self esteem. ...."

    Several conclusions are quite conistent with Adler's ideas about aggression resulting from threats to one's fictional goal of superiority.
