Le 5 juin 1938, Sigmund Freud, tout juste arrivé de Vienne, se repose dans la demeure de la princesse Marie Bonaparte. Il voit surgir un énergumène qui tente de lui extorquer l'interprétation d'un rêve. C'est André Breton. Celui-ci n'obtiendra qu'une réponse sibylline dans laquelle il semble être question de Carl Jung. Il se lance alors à la recherche de la signification du message. S'ensuit une série de rencontres surprenantes où l'on retrouve par ordre d'entrée en scène, Jacques Lacan, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Sigmund Freud, Sandor Ferenczi et finalement Carl Jung. D'associations d'idées en flash-back, cette fiction historique est construite comme un roman à tiroirs, ouvrant tour à tour ses découvertes et ses secrets. Au lecteur d'y puiser les éléments fondamentaux de la théorie du narcissisme surgissant des échanges entre Freud et Jung, ainsi que les ferments du stade du miroir à l'œuvre dans la rencontre forcément surréaliste, entre Lacan et Dali. Se référant à une lecture précise des textes freudiens et lacaniens, l'auteur restitue le foisonnement intellectuel d'une époque où les mythes, la peinture et la poésie dialoguent avec la psychanalyse. Ainsi, la théorie psychanalytique se présente au lecteur sous une forme inédite : vivante et donc inachevée.

American social critics in the 1970's, convinced that their nation was in decline, turned to psychoanalysis for answers and seized on narcissism as the sickness of the age. Books indicting Americans as greedy, shallow, and self-indulgent appeared, none more influential than Christopher Lasch's famous 1978 jeremiad The Culture of Narcissism. This line of critique reached a crescendo the following year in Jimmy Carter's "malaise speech" and has endured to this day. But as Elizabeth Lunbeck reveals, the American critics missed altogether the breakthrough in psychoanalytic thinking that was championing narcissism's positive aspects. Psychoanalysts had clashed over narcissism from the moment Freud introduced it in 1914, and they had long been split on its defining aspects: How much self-love, self-esteem, and self-indulgence was normal and desirable? While Freud's orthodox followers sided with asceticism, analytic dissenters argued for gratification. Fifty years later, the Viennese émigré Heinz Kohut led a psychoanalytic revolution centered on a "normal narcissism" that he claimed was the wellspring of human ambition, creativity, and empathy. But critics saw only pathology in narcissism. The result was the loss of a vital way to understand ourselves, our needs, and our desires. Narcissism's rich and complex history is also the history of the shifting fortunes and powerful influence of psychoanalysis in American thought and culture. Telling this story, The Americanization of Narcissism ultimately opens a new view on the central questions faced by the self struggling amid the tumultuous crosscurrents of modernity.
