There was conducted a retrospective study of a remarkable personality in history of two millennia ago: Cleopatra, the Great. Though there was a paucity of hard facts about her early years, yet considerable pertinent information could be gleaned from scholarly writings about this versatile queen to render a diagnosis. Cleopatra was a complex, dynamic woman who rose to power in the Mediterranean world, but eliminated herself dramatically when she could not bear defeat in her narcissistic personality.
对两千年前历史上一位杰出人物——伟大的克利奥帕特拉进行了一项回顾性研究。尽管关于她早年的确凿事实很少,但从有关这位多才多艺的女王的学术著作中仍能收集到相当多的相关信息来做出诊断。克利奥帕特拉是一个复杂、充满活力的女性,她在地中海世界崛起并掌握了权力,但当她无法承受自恋人格中的失败时,戏剧性地结束了自己的生命。
