The chapter examines the emotions indicative of collective narcissism, how and why they emerge in historically large groups, using the example of the German national collective trauma the Treaty of Versailles (1919). The results of the author’s content analysis in narrative psychology confirmed the hypothesis that in the identity state of collective narcissism, status emotions become dominant instead of emotions indicating authentic attachment. Research has also confirmed that narcissistic defense mechanisms (such as splitting, denial, primitive projection and idealization, omnipotence, and devaluation) may accompany large group identity construction processes over long decades or even centuries. In this sense, it is plausible to speak of cultures of collective narcissism. The author seeks to answer the question of how change can be brought about in these cultures.
