Narcissism: In the Mirror I Don't find Myself

Abstract

Introduction: Enter into the dichotomy perpetrated in the different spaces of psychology construction, understanding that listening to the subject is listening to their dramas and plots, socially and psychically constructed – narcissism. Objective: Clinical listening has to be understood as a social process in which both social and emotional beings have to be taken into account. Emotion brings empirical, rational and even irrational trajectories, many of us live embarrassing experiences in which the subjective is in evidence. Integrative Review: Clinical listening to psychic suffering also needs to be a listening to the individual's social and environmental suffering. Method: The research was based on articles published from 2014 to 2022. Among the articles reviewed there are publications prior to 2016 that were used in the body of the text to build the integrative review taking into account the pioneering spirit and relevance of the authors. Discussion: An archeology of the conditions in which social life is structured is of fundamental importance in verifying that there is currently a loss of effectiveness of protection mechanisms. Final Considerations: The question of the mechanism as a central issue is linked to the need to resort to an examination of the totalities regarding contemporaneity.
