She develops in her own way Freud's view that people are forever seeking to regain a lost state of perfection, the state in which they were their own ideal - ""primary narcissism"". The book includes chapters on the following aspects of the ego ideal: perversion, genitality, being-in-love, groups, sublimation in the creative process, reality testing, and the superego."Chasseguet-Smirgel, Janine is the author of 'Ego Ideal: A Psychoanalytic Essay on the Malady of the Ideal - Janine Chasseguet-Smirgel - Hardcover - 1st American ed' with ISBN 9780393019711 and ISBN 0393019713.
