New families and new images : narcissism's new clothes

 

»Transformations affecting youngsters' relationship with their own image result from their adaptation to two radically new situations they are confronted with from earliest childhood : the omnipresence of images - most notably those that their parents make of them - and new family organizations in which the desire the child observes is maintained for a longer and longer time. Being famous « is then perceived as the privileged means for resolving several contradictory desires and anxieties at the same time.»
