This work aims to address the psychogenetic aspect of narcissism, the characteristics of this psychic dimension, and the destinies of primary narcissism in structuring the individual.
The paper mentions a series of typical challenges in the transference relationship with patients marked by archaic narcissism. Additionally, it describes specific unconscious countertransference reactions in relationships with these types of patients.
In this regard, detecting fixation points and the perseverance of persistent archaic defenses is important for both the development of normal narcissism and pathological structures.
