The omnipotent self, a study in self-deception and self-cure

The Omnipotent Self, written by Paul Bousfield in 1923, is a psychological exploration of self-deception and mental healing. This work, part of a larger Psychoanalysis series, examines the complexities of narcissism and its effects on personality development. Bousfield aims to provide insights that can help individuals understand their inner selves and suggests considerations for parents in child-rearing to avoid fostering self-deceptive behaviors.
