Last time I checked "narcissism" still is a matter of self-regard, self-importance, excessive need for attention and admiration, lack of empathy for others, etc. Clinical narcissists do not tend to identify themselves with "outside" groups, since they believe that pretty much everyone else is "the common herd". attention ho? if we only had an example...

Mr. Lasch apparently tailored his own translation for the word, but he's a historian, not a grammarian or a psychiatrist. Dividing society into two groups is not narcissism, it's binary thinking or "splitting", though I guess they could be intertwined. Last time I checked "narcissism" still is a matter of self-regard, self-importance, excessive need for attention and admiration, lack of empathy for others, etc. Clinical narcissists generally do not overly identify themselves with "outside" groups, since they believe that pretty much everyone else is "the common herd".
