Freud coined the name and briefly described the narcissism of minor differences. Although he initially regarded it as a form of individual behavior, he later came to see its implications for groups. This paper explores the manifestations of the narcissism of minor differences in psychoanalytic organizations and treatment. In contrast to Freud's observation that the narcissism of minor differences is relatively harmless, I suggest that in the social sphere it harbors the potential for a pernicious escalation into hostile and destructive actions on a widespread scale.
弗洛伊德创造了这个名称，并简要描述了微小差异的自恋。尽管他最初将其视为一种个体行为形式，但他后来开始认识到其对群体的影响。本文探讨了微小差异的自恋在精神分析组织和治疗中的表现。与弗洛伊德关于微小差异的自恋相对无害的观察相反，我认为在社会领域，它有可能恶性升级为广泛的敌对和破坏行为。
