Abstract: 자기애적 성격에서 애도의 치유적 효과-100 만번 산 고양이 윤대현 1 •이현권 2 •윤혜리 3 •하지현 4 1 서울대학교병원 강남센터, 2 이현권 정신분석 연구소, 3 윤혜리 정신건강의학과의원, 4 건국대학교 의학전문대학원 정신건강의학교실 Narcissistic personality is an ego centric personality characterized by obsession with oneself, disregard for others, and lack of empathy.It forms a spectrum from normal to pathological levels.A narcissistic person unconsciously fears death because he/she pursues immortality and omnipotence.A narcissistic person does not consider others important.Thus, he/she does not mourn separation or loss.It might be a characteristic defense of narcissistic personality.The authors selected by Japanese author Yoko Sano as a text.Many people loved the cat and cried and mourned when the cat died.However, he was reborn immediately a million times.The cat loved only itself.The cat then met a white cat and fell in love for the first time.They lived together.As time passed, the white cat died.For the first time, the cat cried out loud in sadness.After crying and crying, he stopped moving and dying.He was not reborn again.The authors viewed the cat as a narcissistic personality and interpreted its active avoidance and denial of separation, death, and mourning as a narcissistic defense.Repeating this only strengthened his narcissistic traits.However, the momentum of change was falling in love.Losing a loved one and going through the process of mourning the eternal separation of death for the first time became the trigger for the change in narcissistic personality.
