The Culture of Narcissism

The classic New York Times bestseller, with a new introduction by E.J. Dionne Jr.

When The Culture of Narcissism was first published, it was clear that Christopher Lasch had identified something important: what was happening to American society in the wake of the decline of the family over the last century. The book quickly became a best seller. This edition includes a new afterword, "The Culture of Narcissism Revisited."

A lively and provocative look at the modern culture of motherhood and at the social, economic, and political forces that shaped current ideas about parenting!
