Narcissistic rage is a term coined by Heinz Kohut in 1972. This article on rage pertains to Kohut's use of the concept in Kohut's Self Psychology, a school of thought within the psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theory. Narcissistic rage is a reaction to narcissistic injury (when the narcissist feels degraded by another person). When the narcissist's grandiose sense of self-worth is perceivably being attacked by another person (typically in the form of criticism), the narcissist's natural reaction is to rage and pull down the self-worth of others (to make the narcissist feel superior to them). It is an attempt by the narcissist to soothe their internal pain and hostility, while at the same time rebuilding their own self-worth. Narcissistic rage should not be confused with anger (although the two are similar), and is not necessarily caused by a situation that would typically provoke anger in an individual. Narcissistic rage also occurs when the narcissist is perceivably being prevented from accomplishing their grandiose fantasies.Narcissistic rage is frequently short-term, and passes when the narcissist rationalizes the shame that they felt. HistoryHeinz Kohut was the first to coin the idea of narcissistic rage. His book “The Analysis of the Self” in 1972 introduced the psychoanalytic concept as pertaining to narcissistic rage. His explanation of narcissistic rage and depression stated, “depressions are interrupted by rages because things are not going their way, because responses are not forthcoming in the way they expected and needed”. He went further to say that narcissists may even search for conflict to find a way to alleviate pain or suffering. From Wikipedia under the

Q. Ok, here is what happened in short. A neighbor started a fight with me, I ended the fight. But he calls cops. No one was taken in. Then I find out 2 weeks later I am charged with simple assault (criminal case). The cop charged it I guess by request of the other guy. I did have several bruises and just happen to take pics the next day when I realized it. My prelim hearing is next week and already had prelim arraignment. My question is.

You can sign charges, but unless you have evidence to corroborate your version of the events, it will look like vindictiveness. In other words, it may go nowhere. It's up to you if you want to try. The State has the option not to prosecute if they don't feel the charges could be proved.
