Frommian Themes in a Case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Presentation given at the 34th Winter-Meeting of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis, December 9, 1990, in San Antonio/Texas in Commemoration of Erich Fromm's 90th Birthday, 1990, 17 pp. (

  • Presents a case study of a 30-yr-old man treated for narcissistic personality disorder and attempts to show how further contributions to an alternative approach to psychoanalysis can come from E. FROMM. FROMMian themes are all present in the case in varying degrees. It is suggested that the 2 main features of this case (narcissism and homosexuality) were the outcome of a pathological symbiosis with both parents. Eight themes, drawn both from FROMM's published works and from his unpublished writings, are stressed, including benign vs malignant aggression, having vs being, homosexual and incestuous symbiosis, and secret family narcissism.
