narcissism

Definition:

In Jungian psychology, narcissism refers to an overidentification with the ego and a lack of connection to the deeper aspects of the Self. It often manifests as excessive self-focus, a fragile sense of self-worth, and difficulty forming meaningful relationships.

Example:

Addressing narcissism involves reconnecting with the unconscious and fostering a healthier relationship with the Self. For example, a client overly focused on external validation might explore their deeper needs for self-acceptance and inner growth.
