TIL a critical pivot in the history of the verbiage around "narcissism". The contemporary ( early 21st century, pop-psychological ) trending use of the term is described on Wikipedia as stemming from "The Culture of Narcissism" (Larsch, 1979). You may read about the history of the term "narcissism", here
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism
The clinical framework about "narcissistic personality disorder" cannot be considered final, though a mature practice is documented in the DSM, for example. The taxonomical/diagnostic approach to "narcissism" stems from a broader tradition of Social pre-Science, i.e. attempts to establish new domains for scientific method, through the quantified testing of (a) critical theory from the Humanities, (b) natural language or base literature at any spatio-temporal point in history.
For an in-flight example of such meandering culture, look no further than ( or do read further from ) these Wikipedia articles which you may remember with the heuristic "DT & DD".
