title: [Narcissism: origin and goal of the ego. Reflections of Lou Andreas-Salomé].
abstract: The author presents Andreas-Salomé's theoretically relevant, though largely neglected writings. She devoted special interest to narcissism. Her contributions to this topic are discussed in relation to Freud's corresponding texts, with whom she maintained an enduring friendship. General reference is made to the more recent psychoanalytic debate about narcissism.
