Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) : How to Recognize a Narcissist We all have to deal with difficult people. Some days we can be pretty difficult ourselves. Recognizing the difference between normal difficulties and personality disorders can be crucial to decisions about entering new relationships and continuing existing relationships. The material on Narcissistic Personality Disorder that is published for lay readers is not very informative, even though most people have had to cope with a narcissist at one time or another. If you were raised by a narcissistic parent, then you've been taught that the narcissist is always right and you're the one who's wrong. A lifetime of such mistreatment typically instills lack of confidence in your own judgment, along with habitual shame at never getting it right or being good enough to deserve the air that you breathe. The children of narcissists may not have realized that the quirks and oddities of their impossible-to-please parents are not in any way unique or special but are in fact the symptoms of a personality disorder. The information on the Web is very repetitive and amounts to little more than the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV. Clinical descriptions of Narcissistic Personality Disorder don't describe the things that are most shocking and puzzling in everyday interaction with narcissists.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Should We Call Them Human? Narcissistic Personality Disorder Narcissistic disturbance can be found in everyone. An individual’s 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 individual’s 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 child’s 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.

Read this Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the serial bully On this page Narcissistic Personality Disorder DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder Related personality disorders Links to narcissism and narcissistic personality disoder sites On another page Attention seeking behaviour 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.
