It is likely that narcissism has been recognized as long as there have been thinking humans. The ancient Greeks recognized it as hubris: insolence, excessive self pride, presumption or arrogance. The term "narcissus-like" was used in 1898 by Havelock Ellis to describe a person who became their own sex object via masturbation. Paul Nacke was the first to use the term "narcissism" in 1899 to describe sexual perversion. Otto Rank published a paper in 1911 in which he suggested the connection between narcissism and self admiration and vanity. Freud published a paper on narcissism in 1914. Martin Buber published a paper on narcissism in 1923. During the 1960s psychoanalysts Heinz Kohut and Otto Kernberg brought narcissism to the forefront. Kohut was the first to introduce the term narcissistic personality disorder. In 1980 it was officially recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder third edition. At that time the criteria were established. In a controversial move, the latest edition, DSM-5, has removed it as a personality disorder.

If narcissism is that extreme form of self-love which totally over-rules any attraction to members of the opposite sex, it is extremely unlikely that narcissism could ever be passed on to future generations.'Personality' is the product of genetics, environment, experiences in life and, to some extent, personal choice (free will).These factors contribute to any narcissistic tendencies a person may have or exhibit. Similarly, the degree of narcissism will also be influenced by those factors. This being so, narcissism, to a greater or lesser degree, may be inherited, but not necessarily.To some extent, a measure of 'self-love' is natural; it is a feature of being human. But experience and maturity generally ensures that self-love does not become a person's predominant quality.
Narcissism is a severe personality or psychological disorder. The person has an unrealistic and inflated view of themself. Where they actually believe they are better than others. In many cases these people are unable to understand others and care only about themselves.
