When we speak about narcissism we should not forget that outward space and the space of the body are the necessary basis for the unfolding of narcissistic tendencies. The descriptions of Mayer-Gross, who made a study of perception of space and time in mescal intoxication are given as well as descriptions of disturbances of space in organic brain disease and in specific psychoses and psycho-neuroses. Schilder reaches the general conclusions that the size and weight of objects, the distance and dimensions of space, speed, impact and motion, become more or less the immediate expressions of the total libidinous situation. The id-functions modify space perception continually, and they are dependent on the biological situation. It is one of the paradoxes that the hysteriform mechanism has seemingly deeper influence on the organic apparatus than the more aggressive mechanisms, the conversion mechanism belonging specifically to hysteria, though met with in some other disturbances. These mechanisms influence chiefly the vegetative system. Cases are discussed in detail showing the influence of conversion mechan
