Narcisismo primário com início da construção do Eu

Abstract

The term narcissism emerged from the influence of Greek mythology, relating a unique picture of symptoms to the characteristics of a mythological character called Narcissus. Based on the concept of primary narcissism, proposed by Sigmund Freud, its connection with the formation of the "I" will be analyzed. In this sense, the authors present that primary narcissism represents the starting point in the construction of the way in which human beings relate to the world and to themselves. Therefore, this study aims to carry out a brief analysis of primary narcissism and the psychoanalytic concepts of drive and libido that are linked to it, as well as its influence on the construction of the “I”. In order to discuss this issue, the contributions of renowned authors who preceded Freud were explored, together with the concept of primary narcissism proposed by Sigmund Freud. In this study, a bibliographical search of works that deal with the topic in question was carried out. The analysis of Freud's writings led to the observation that primary narcissism precedes the structure known by psychoanalysis as the "I", being essential for its formation.
