Beware bad narcissits; self-loathing, abusive creatures who, despite craving the admiration and adoration of others, are unable to love themselves or anyone else. Those who get involved with such narcisists, says Fay, who has herself survived several, risk entering a vicious cycle of blaming themselves for not doing things right. open about her negative personal experiences, she is a predisposed to condemn narcissist as he is to characterize partners who stick around as victims. Fay strikes a decent balance between informing readers of red-flag behaviors and the steps involved in extricating oneself from an unhealthy relationship; this not intended as an unbiased discussion of Narcissistic Behavioral Disorder. For most self-help collections.

Combining clinical analysis with psychological profiles of famous narcissists, here is an indispensable guide to recognizing, coping with, and ultimately overcoming the destructive behavior of narcissists. Everybody needs some healthy narcissism. But in a society obsessed with appearance, wealth, and status, it's easy for problematic narcissists to thrive. Many people who seem to "have it all" are suffering from one of the most common-and overlooked-personality disorders today: high level narcissism. Typified by an obsession with perfection, a desperate need for admiration, and a willingness to use and exploit others for personal gain, high level narcissism can spell devastation for anyone who crosses the narcissist's path. In Freeing Yourself from the Narcissist in Your Life, psychotherapist Linda Martinez-Lewi presents an in-depth and supportive plan for identifying, understanding, and dealing with high level narcissistic behavior in those close to you. Martinez-Lewi helps you to liberate yourself from draining personal relationships with narcissists, and shows how to regain a sense of peace, balance, and well-being. Drawing on detailed profiles of famous narcissists, including Pablo Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Armand Hammer, and Ayn Rand, as well as expertly rendered case studies from her private practice as a psychotherapist, Martinez-Lewi shows how to: - understand where narcissistic behavior comes from; u learn to spot narcissistic traits, even in the early stages of relationships; - realize why attempting to change a narcissist is fruitless; and - protect yourself from the narcissist's opportunism, manipulative behavior, and lack of empathy.

Harvard Medical School psychologist and Huffington Post blogger Craig Malkin addresses the "narcissism epidemic," by illuminating the spectrum of narcissism, identifying ways to control the trait, and explaining how too little of it may be a bad thing. "What is narcissism?" is one of the fastest rising searches on Google, and articles on the topic routinely go viral. Yet, the word "narcissist" seems to mean something different every time it's uttered. People hurl the word as insult at anyone who offends them. It's become so ubiquitous, in fact, that it's lost any clear meaning. The only certainty these days is that it's bad to be a narcissist—really bad—inspiring the same kind of roiling queasiness we feel when we hear the words sexist or racist. That's especially troubling news for millennials, the people born after 1980, who've been branded the "most narcissistic generation ever." In Rethinking Narcissism readers will learn that there's far more to narcissism than its reductive invective would imply. The truth is that we all fall on a spectrum somewhere between utter selflessness on the one side, and arrogance and grandiosity on the other. A healthy middle exhibits a strong sense of self. On the far end lies sociopathy. Malkin deconstructs healthy from unhealthy narcissism and offers clear, step-by-step guidance on how to promote healthy narcissism in our partners, our children, and ourselves.

“So you’re asking if divorce is possible?” Wellington asked. “Yes, but one question first,” Bunky said. “Does Catherine love me? She says she does, but I don’t know. Can a narcissist actually love someone?” Dr. Wellington smiled ruefully. “Of course she can. She’s been deeply in love for a long time… with herself. As for you, I’m sorry, but what she feels for you isn’t love in the normal sense. You do a good job of enabling her, and I’m sure she likes that. I’m sure she likes the lifestyle you provide, too. Those ‘likes’ mimic love, but don’t ever cross her. I’m not sure those ‘likes’ will hold up.” “Don’t cross her?” Bunky smiled. “I can’t think of a more serious way to cross her than to divorce her. I mean, once I file, what’s to keep her devils from busting loose? Hell, she came at me with a knife for backing out of the kitchen. What happens when I back out of a marriage?” “It won’t be easy,” Wellington said, “but if it was just you, it would be doable.” “But it isn’t just me, is it,” Bunky said sadly. “No it’s not. You’ll be the primary bad guy, but she’s likely to come after that child hard. What better way to hurt you than to hurt the baby? If you’re going to start this thing, Bunky, you have to keep close guard over that little one. There’s no telling what Catherine is capable of…”

A groundbreaking, “thoughtful and provocative” (Los Angeles Times) study of narcissism that will relieve hidden anxieties and heal the tension between mind, body, and feelings. Are you a narcissist? Do you interact with someone who is? Contrary to popular belief, narcissists do not love themselves or anyone else. They cannot accept their true selves, constructing instead fixed masks that hide emotional numbness. Influenced by forces in culture and predisposed by factors in the human personality, narcissists tend to be: • More concerned with how they appear than what they feel • Seductive and manipulative, striving for power and control • Egotists, focused on their own interests but lacking the true values of the self -- self-expression, self-possession, dignity, and integrity • Without a solid sense of self, which leads them to experience life as empty and meaningless In this groundbreaking study, Dr. Alexander Lowen uses his extensive clinical experience to demonstrate how narcissists can recover their suppressed feelings and regain their lost humanity. By the use of Bioenergetic Analysis, the psychotherapy created by Dr. Lowen, a new possibility of a fulfilling and authentic life is presented for people with narcissistic characteristics and for those who interact with them.
