Description

Narcissism and Its Discontents: Diagnostic Dilemmas and Treatment Strategies with Narcissistic Patients offers a nuanced approach to understanding and treating narcissistic personality disorder. This comprehensive guide acknowledges the complexities of NPD, providing clinicians with adaptable treatment strategies tailored to individual patients. The authors skillfully integrate research and psychoanalytic theory to address the unique challenges posed by narcissistic patients, including entitlement, disengagement, and envy. A chapter on cultural aspects of narcissism sheds light on the recent societal fascination with NPD in politics and celebrity, particularly in the age of social media. Clinicians will find a wealth of approaches to treating diverse patient populations within this book, regardless of treatment setting.
