Extractions: Narcissism Revisited The narcissist is an actor in a monodrama, yet forced to remain behind the scenes. The scenes take center stage, instead. The narcissist does not cater at all to his own needs. Contrary to his reputation, the narcissist does not "love" himself in any true sense of this loaded word. He feeds off other people who hurl back at him an image that he projects to them. This is their sole function in his world: to reflect, to admire, to applaud, to detest - in a word, to assure him that he exists. Otherwise, they have no right to tax his time, energy, or emotions - so he feels. How do I know so much about narcissism? I am a narcissist and, of course, I've done a lot of research on the subject. My name is Sam Vaknin. I'm a Ph.D. My book, Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited (excerpts here ), offers a detailed, first-hand account of what it is like to have a Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). It offers new insights and an organized methodological framework using a new psychodynamic language. Inside this site, and through
NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER
Narcissistic grandiosity, lack of empathy, and relationships.
http://www.angelfire.com/ego/narcissism/index.html

Extractions: Narcissistic disturbance can be found in everyone. An individuals existence would be in jeopardy if some narcissistic traits were not present. These traits protect the ego from severe damage inflicted by others thus keeping our self-esteem in tact. Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) occurs when narcissistic traits become exaggerated in an individuals personality. Psychodynamic theories for the development of NPD revolve around issues of unmet basic childhood needs. Narcissistic defenses are innately present during the first eighteen months of an infant's life. The infant is able to experience being the center of his mother's world and a oneness with the mother develops. This makes the child feel powerful and omnipotent. The child's world has no limits. One theory suggests that near the end of the eighteen-month period a psychological transformation causes the disintegration of the childs oneness with the mother to occur. During the separation period if the mother was not responsive and sensitive to the child's needs during the first eighteen months then NPD will develop. Other theories suggest that the development of the ego is governed by the limits and consequences the parents provide between two and ten and the amount of abuse or trauma the child receives during the first seven years of life. This abuse does not necessarily have to come from trauma induced by parents, but encompasses authority figures, peers, and others.

A disorder related to narcissism.Category Health Mental Health Disorders Personality Narcissisticnarcissism, narcissistic personality disorder, attention seeking, arrogance,grandiosity, selfimportance, malignant self-love. Charm
http://www.successunlimited.co.uk/bully/npd.htm

Extractions: Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy (MSBP) The serial bully displays behaviour congruent with many of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder . Characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity and self-importance, need for admiration, and lack of empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments, often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments of others. Often the narcissist will fraudulently claim to have qualifications or experience or affiliations or associations which they don't have or aren't entitled to. Belief in superiority, inflating their self-esteem to match that of senior or important people with whom they associate or identify, insisting on having the "top" professionals or being affiliated with the "best" institutions, but criticising the same people who disappoint them are also common features of narcissistic personality disorder. When rejected, the narcissist will often denounce the profession which has rejected them (usually for lack of competence or misdeed) but simultaneously and paradoxically represent themselves as belonging to the profession they are vilifying.
