It is the thesis of this paper that although analysts have always recognized that narcissistic injury may trigger envious feelings, the significance of self-esteem as both a motivator and response to envious feelings has not yet been sufficiently explored. Traditional drive-defense or object instinctual explanations tend to diminish awareness of the importance of self-esteem in the experience of envy. The focus on drives or repetition of early patterns of object relations does not always take into account the significance of the cycle in which damaged self-esteem leads to envy, the component parts of which may cause further damage to self-esteem, leading to more envy, and so on. I am suggesting that it is often an attempt to avoid painful injury to one's self-esteem, as well as the related attempt to maintain a positively colored sense of self, and not a repression of drives or a repetition of some aspect of early object relationships which must be understood in order to fully comprehend both feelings of envy and the need to keep such feelings out of conscious awareness.
本文的论点是，尽管分析家们一直认识到自恋性伤害可能引发嫉妒情绪，但自尊作为嫉妒情绪的激发因素和反应的重要性尚未得到充分探讨。传统的驱力防御或客体本能解释往往会削弱对自尊在嫉妒体验中的重要性的认识。对驱力或早期客体关系模式重复的关注并不总是考虑到受损自尊导致嫉妒的循环的重要性，其中的组成部分可能会进一步损害自尊，导致更多的嫉妒，如此循环往复。我认为，通常是为了避免对自尊造成痛苦的伤害，以及相关的维持积极自我感觉的尝试，而不是驱力的压抑或早期客体关系某些方面的重复，必须理解这一点才能充分理解嫉妒情绪以及将此类情绪排除在意识之外的需求。
