Extensions of narcissism: Psychoanalysis, war, climate

In this key note, five ideas - framework are presented to address the subject: the traumatic origin of the Psyche, as a distant echo of the Big Bang; the brain, mind, psyche trilogy, of different origins, but inextricably linked (mind and psyche are not synonymous); the idea of an extensive psyche, noun, not adjective, working between people and things; the extension of the Freudian topics to a 3rd and 4th inter subjective topics, and even a 5th, if the psyche is intervened by the technology; and the heteronymy of the Ego, composed of various psychic persons. From there, a proto-organic narcissism develops that is a defence against disintegration and also a model of subsequent functioning, both in war and the attack on the planet´s climate. Other issues, such as the power of the leader, the submission of the people, the relationship between psychosis and normality (not health), the "reasons of state", and the ideology, are observed. An extensive psychoanalysis is proposed as a contribution to these painful issues.

Abstract

In this key note, five ideas - framework are presented to address the subject: the traumatic origin of the Psyche, as a distant echo of the Big Bang; the brain, mind, psyche trilogy, of different origins, but inextricably linked (mind and psyche are not synonymous); the idea of an extensive psyche, noun, not adjective, working between people and things; the extension of the Freudian topics to a 3rd and 4th inter subjective topics, and even a 5th, if the psyche is intervened by the technology; and the heteronymy of the Ego, composed of various psychic persons. From there, a proto-organic narcissism develops that is a defence against disintegration and also a model of subsequent functioning, both in war and the attack on the planet´s climate. Other issues, such as the power of the leader, the submission of the people, the relationship between psychosis and normality (not health), the "reasons of state", and the ideology, are observed. An extensive psychoanalysis is proposed as a contribution to these painful issues.
