It's not just a coincidence that narcissism is connected with aggression.

Psychoanalysis And Treatment
Words: 2217 - Pages: 9.... to rid the mind of undesirable thoughts through hypnotic suggestion, but without lasting success. Josef Breuer, a Viennese physician, achieved better results by letting Anna O., a young woman patient, try to empty her mind by just telling him all of her thoughts and feelings.
