American social critics in the 1970s seized on narcissism as the sickness of the age. But they missed the psychoanalytic breakthrough that championed it as the wellspring of ambition, creativity, and empathy. Elizabeth Lunbeck’s history opens a new view on the central questions faced by the self struggling amid the crosscurrents of modernity.
