Four Editorial corrections:
1) In the section of the discussion about the ‘love triangle’ between Sabina Spielrein, Carl Jung, and Emma Jung, the guest mistakenly substituted Freud’s name for Jung. 2) In the story of the medieval couple, the heroine’s name was Eloise–not Evelyn. 3) The poem “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind” was not written by Eloise, but rather centuries later by Alexander Pope as an homage to Eloise. 4) Lastly, the song in the “Graduate” was Paul Simon’s “The Sound of Silence”–not the ‘Song of Silence.’

I was thinking that the notion that the present “selfie generation” is particularly narcissistic might have positive implications. That which minority groups (in race, culture, etc.) demand that their uniqueness be respected might stem from narcissism. That which people today feel free to be individualistic might also relate to the contemporary narcissistic tendencies. Today, we celebrate the self. In previous generations, the self was expected to be suppressed and you had to make believe that you were no different than everybody else. Is this not a positive aspect of the new generation’s narcissism?
