3.0 out of 5 stars A tough-chewed piece, 19 Jun 2001
By A Customer
The concept of "narcissism" is overloaded with interpretations and Schwartz-Salant concedes this. However, he doesn't clarify the concept much. After having read the book, the concept is still confusing and it carries a multitude of meanings. The book is nevertheless valuable because its many diverging strands of information are thought-provoking. Schwartz-Salant tries a combined Jungian and psychoanalytical point of view (especially Kohut's). This also adds to its cerebral arduousness. Much room is made for different interpretations and misinterpretations of the myth, and this is the books greatest merit. As it concentrates on myth, fairy-tale and dreams, its theoretical pretentiousness is balanced by earthbound products of the psyche. However, the overall impression is of a theoretical growth that has run wild. Schwartz-Salant fails in making a clear-cut presentation of the problem and, to my mind, certain of the conceptions are rather far-fetched. But for therapists and theorists it is a good reference with several fresh suggestions. But if you are a layman traumatized by a narcissist and wants to get some know-how, then this isn't the clearest exposition. This book can hardly be understood without a grounding in analytical psychology. It can be recommended to readers with a keen theoretical interest in the subject.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Obfuscating Myth, 11 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Schwartz-Salant is one of the most thought-provoking Jungians around. He continues and extends Jung's archetypal narratives by exploring deeper links with alchemy, mythology, and other psychodynamics and object relations schools of psychology. In this book, he uses Greek mythology as an exegetic (interpretative) framework to gain clinical insights. This is not such a good idea and resorting to Kohut's work does not counter-balance this deficiency. Greek mythology is limited both by its

set of characters and their interactions and by its cultural context. That it is a finished work - cast in the stone of history - makes it static and unable to cope with the dynamics of the hydra of pathological narcissism. A colourful intellectual exercise - but of very litlle clinical use, I am afraid...
