Why read it?
1 author picked Generation of Narcissus as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Malcolm’s book is as one-sided as Lasch’s, but for me, it was a breath of fresh air because it considers narcissism to be a positive rather than a negative cultural development.
It, too, couches its explanation of widespread narcissism in psychoanalytic terms, which I consider a plus. However, in addition to being one-sided, the way it considers an entire generation to be narcissistic bothered me as an overgeneralization.
From Eugene's list on psychoanalysis therapy shifts social critique.
