- This monograph is the result of 6 years' work. It is 182 pages and over 75,000 words. The book mediates several academic discourses, most notably psychoanalysis, sociological theory and psychosocial studies, as well as multiple periods of cultural history. The research entailed in-depth conceptual and critical analysis of different theories and applications of narcissism, which involved the examination of a very wide range of primary sources. In addition to the work of theory and synthesis, the research led to a new formulation of narcissistic sociability which offered a distinctive challenge to established theorisations of the term.
