megalomania
Megalomania is a psychopathological condition characterized by fantasies of power, relevance, omnipotence, and by inflated self-esteem. Historically it was used as a name for narcissistic personality disorder prior to the latter's first use by Heinz Kohut in 1968, and is used today as a non-clinical equivalent.〔(Megalomiacs abound in politics/medicine/finance ) Business Day 2011/01/07〕〔Kohut H The Psychoanalytic Treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorders: Outline of a Systematic Approach, 1968〕 It is not mentioned in the ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders'' (DSM)〔(The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ) published by the American Psychiatric Association〕 or the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD).
==Etymology==
The word ''megalomania'' is derived from the Greek μεγαλο- ''megalo-'' "large, great", and μανία ''mania'' "madness, frenzy". Its first attested use in English occurred in 1890, as a translation of the French ''mégalomanie''.
