Summary

Introduction

The concept of narcissism comes from Narkissos, who falls in love with himself seeing his reflection in water and who lives out his own life by following this beloved that he can never reach in his life (Turkish Language Society, 2009; Tazegül 2018). The most important feature of narcissism is that selfness (selfness-covers living, perceived spiritual and physical, entire individual apart from other objects existing in the external world) is put forward steeply, and the reduction of interest for others. The first important work on narcissism is Freud's "an introduction to Narcissism". This study is considered to be the basis of narcissism in psychoanalysis. Freud has considered narcissism as a phenomenon, not a condition. As a type of personality, he mentioned about the narcissism first time in 1931
