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.
