Conceptual Note on Primary Narcissism, Projective Identification, the Narcissistic Spectrum of Positions, and the Babel Phenomenon

A concise theoretical statement introducing the Narcissistic Spectrum model by Dimitris Seferiadis. This work redefines primary narcissism as a lifelong regulatory function, expands projective identification beyond defense into embodied relational transmission, and introduces the Babel Phenomenon as a clinical condition of communication without shared meaning. It proposes a shift from static diagnostic thinking to a dynamic model of somato-psychic regulation within the relational field.

Abstract

A concise theoretical statement introducing the Narcissistic Spectrum model by Dimitris Seferiadis. This work redefines primary narcissism as a lifelong regulatory function, expands projective identification beyond defense into embodied relational transmission, and introduces the Babel Phenomenon as a clinical condition of communication without shared meaning. It proposes a shift from static diagnostic thinking to a dynamic model of somato-psychic regulation within the relational field.
