My first discussions of collective narcissism took place in Philadelphia during the Summer Institute of the Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict at University of Pennsylvania in 2005. The Institute brought together scholars and practitioners of conflict resolution, civic servants, and activists in this field to discuss the dynamics of escalation and de-escalation of ethno-national conflicts and forge new paths of interdisciplinary coop-erations. Inevitably, we talked about nationalism, defined in political psy-chology as “an orientation toward national dominance” (Kosterman & Feshbach, 1989, p. 271). As I discuss in more detail in Chapter 3, the rise of nationalism often precedes political conflict and violence. My colleague, David Goodwin, a clinical psychologist who worked with victims of ethno- national conflicts commented that to him nationalism looks very much like narcissism: obsessions with national greatness that inevitably harms others, including co-nationals.
