Narcissists are thought to exhibit “narcissistic rage" which is an explosive mix of anger and hostility arising from threats to narcissists’ fractured sense of self.[1]
Paul H. Ornstein was a Hungarian-American psychoanalyst.
The first chapter of Paul H. Ornstein's book The Search for Self was titled Thoughts on Narcissism and Narcissistic Rage.[2]
The abstract for the first chapter of Paul H. Ornstein's book The Search for Self was titled Thoughts on Narcissism and Narcissistic Rage indicates: "The scrutiny of aggression as it is interrelated with the area of narcissism has, up to this point, been focused on the phenomenology of narcissistic rage and on the explanation of the matrix of archaic narcissism from which it arises. The relation between acute and chronic narcissistic rage in the area of the omnipotence of the grandiose self is paralleled by the relation between acute shame and chronic feelings of inferiority in the area of the exhibitionism of the narcissistic structure."[3]
Narcissistic rage in leaders
The abstract for the journal article Narcissistic rage in leaders: the intersection of individual dynamics and group process published in The International Journal of Social Psychiatry states:
| “ | Power corrupts in terms of both grandiose inflations and threatened narcissistic injuries. This paper deals with the rage states that may ensue in leaders. After explaining the individual psychodynamics of self-righteous rages in executives, this paper describes inferences about the group processes set in motion by such leaders and the reactions of subordinates. Independent thinkers in subordinate groups are both especially vulnerable to harm and especially important to preventing disasters within the group. The variable action of such persons leads to a sequence of possible phases. In bad scenarios the last phase is one containing institutional ruin, bloodbaths, or mutinies. Understanding the inference of individual and group dynamics on a theme of narcissistic injury may help prevent such disasters.[4] | ” |
