Narcissism swings between echoism and sovereignism based on attachment style

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This article explores pathological narcissism, proposing that it is not a simple opposition between echoism and sovereignism, but rather a dynamic interplay between the two. The author suggests that an individual's attachment style, specifically the balance between preoccupation and avoidance, influences whether they lean towards echoistic (modesty, service, selflessness) or sovereignistic (power, control, invulnerability) behaviors. This pendulum swing between the two extremes is further complicated by the severity of personality pathology, which can lead to identity diffusion and limited access to different personality facets.
