In contemporary clinic of psychoanalysis, depression, compulsion and self-injury demonstrate the dominance of a narcissistic axis over the axis of desire and that such forms of psychic suffering don't derive from conflict as they did in the classical cases of neurosis. On the contrary, their origin is a direct discharge of dissatisfaction on the body's registry and its potential to act. Considering that there is no clinic of psychoanalysis without culture, this study aims to map out the conception of narcissism on psychoanalysis theory, surveying its mutations on nowadays biopolitics and subjectivity modes. In order to achieve such goal, this work has focused on the comprehension of the link between the primary narcissism, which creates the wonderful child, the death drive and the biopolitical interpretation of the changes in family's structures. One can come to the conclusion that extreme individualism and psychic disturbances in present time derive from the lack of the representation of primary narcissism, to which one can recur in moments of dissatisfaction.
