The myth of Jocasta and maternal narcissism
View through CrossRef
Objective: This paper utilises the ancient Greek myth of Oedipus, and in particular the character’s frequently overlooked mother Jocasta, to highlight some of the issues associated with maternal narcissism. Conclusions: A discussion of Jocasta forms the background to case studies where a mother’s narcissism, along with an absent father, was pivotal to coping difficulties, which ultimately compelled the patient to seek therapy. Consideration of the Oedipus–Jocasta interpersonal dynamic can contribute to a greater understanding of these patients.
