Abstract：
Humans must identify others as enemies or allies to develop, protect, maintain, and refine their sense of self. This is a part of their normal psychological development. These phenomena operate on individual and large group levels and are pronounced under threat. In peril, they help create psychological boundaries between conflicting parties and bonds between allies. These boundaries and bonds are invested with strong emotions. The narcissism of minor differences concept is involved in identifying and delineating enemies at times of perceived danger. This article introduces the concept of the narcissism of minor resemblances. This concept is discussed from the psychodynamic perspective and illustrated with examples of socio-political developments from modern history. The narcissism of minor resemblances concept may help us understand the underlying dynamics of bonding with allies and identifying with others when undergoing threat and hardship. This concept connects the public arena of political action with individual psychological development. Awareness of this phenomenon can help mitigate the negative aspects of rigid enemy-ally distinctions and promote cooperation and peace. It may also help individuals impacted by psychological trauma to make meaning of psychological and societal processes experienced and contribute to their healing.
摘要：
人类必须将他人视为敌人或盟友才能发展，保护,保持,完善他们的自我意识。这是他们正常心理发展的一部分。这些现象在个人和大群体层面上运作，并在威胁下表现出来。在危险中，它们有助于在冲突的政党和盟友之间建立心理界限。这些边界和债券是用强烈的情感投资的。微小差异概念的自恋涉及在感知危险时识别和描绘敌人。本文介绍了次要相似自恋的概念。从心理动力学的角度讨论了这一概念，并以现代历史上的社会政治发展为例进行了说明。轻微相似概念的自恋可能有助于我们理解与盟友的联系以及在遭受威胁和困难时与他人认同的潜在动力。这个概念将政治行动的公共领域与个人心理发展联系起来。对这一现象的认识可以帮助减轻死板的敌人盟友区别的消极方面，并促进合作与和平。它还可以帮助受心理创伤影响的个人体验心理和社会过程的意义，并有助于他们的康复。
