520 _aThe author examines the relations between destructive primary envy and narcissism, its disturbances, and the responses they arouse. Drawing on the clinical work with a female patient, it is suggested that envy is a primary affect belonging to the projection of the primitive hatred that is constitutive of the external object in combination with the introjective movement of the hallucinatory satisfaction of the wish for libidinal contributions. Specific to the primary narcissistic relationship, it is especially violent in that the mirror reflects an envious negative image, as is the case between Lola and her mother. The child’s envy is therefore made more complicated by the mother’s envy. The toxic activity of envy undermines the narcissistic foundations and leads to disturbances in the establishment of primary identity and of the oedipal organization. It distorts feelings like jealousy and greed. It can spread from one generation to another. The father, as the mother’s lover, will help to loosen the vice of envious narcissistic mastery.
