1938S. Rosenzweig in H. A. Murray Explorations in Personality vi. 588 The psycho-analyst might appropriately call the turning of aggression upon the individual's own self ‘nemesism’ from the name of the Greek goddess of vengeance. Nemesism could then be thought of as the counterpart of narcism. 1945J. C. Flügel Man, Morals & Society vii. 78 We propose here to adopt Rosenzweig's suggestion and to use the term ‘nemesism’ as an alternative and technical term for ‘aggression turned against the self’. Ibid. 87 The channel for the discharge of the children's aggressiveness towards the natural outer objects being blocked, there may be no alternative for them but to become nemesistic and intropunitive. Ibid. xi. 143 This nemesistic urge. 1946[see introjection 3 a]. 1968P. McKellar Experience & Behav. ix. 248 Nemesism is a term coined by Flügel. |
