Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited Narcissistic personality Disorder, NPD. Everything about narcissism, the narcissist, and his/her impact on others. Sam Vaknin, Narcissism Revisited. http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/personality_disorders/narcissism/
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. According to the legend of Narcissus, this Greek boy fell in love with his own reflection in a pond. Presumably, this amply sums up the nature of his namesakes: narcissists. The mythological Narcissus rejected the advances of the nymph Echo and was punished by Nemesis, consigned to pine away as he fell in love with his own reflection - exactly as Echo had pined away for him. How apt. Narcissists are punished by echoes and reflections of their problematic personalities up to this very day. 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.

People who suffer with this disorder have extreme and long standing instability in their emotional lives, as well as in their behavior and their self-image. This is a common disorder affecting 2% of the general population. The best evidence indicates that about 11% of psychiatric outpatients and 19% of inpatients meet diagnostic criteria for BPD.

Keenan, New City article, 1995-JUN-22: " The Devil and Dr. Braun ." "...students often ask me whether multiple personality disorder (MPD) really exists. I usually reply that the symptoms attributed to it are as genuine as hysterical paralysis and seizures." Dr. Paul McHugh " I have this head shrinker and he says...[MPD is]...deliberately induced because the CIA is where they started inducing it when after they brought all the Nazis over from Germany to run American Psychiatric Association....It is all mind control and all kinds of things to invent people with multiple personalities.... I believe the government has implanted some kind of a chip into my head where... [my thoughts are] monitored by Barbara Walters and these other women. And they take all my ideas...I think [Oprah] sits with her finger on the switch to the chip....several times I wondered if I had multiple personality disorder. In fact, or if I was just from another planet."

The opinions expressed herein are the guest's alone and have not been reviewed by a WebMD physician. If you have questions about your health, you should consult your personal physician. This event is meant for informational purposes only. Moderator: Hello everyone and welcome. Your guest today is author Sam Vaknin, who has just published his new book, Malignant Self Love , about narcissistic personality disorder. He's joining us today from Macedonia, right at the edge of our conflict in the Balkans. At what point does narcissism go from something everyday like lingering a bit too long in the mirror to narcissistic personality disorder? Vaknin: Narcissism is a healthy thing. It has gradations. Sometimes, the reflection replaces the self, that's when we have a personality disorder (PD). But narcissists have no or very little personality they have only or mostly their reflection. That's why they need others, dependent on them for their very self-definition.

OCD Online Home Services Available Telephone Consultations Individual Therapy Group Therapy Family Coping Skills ... Psychological Testing Other Articles by Dr. Steven Phillipson OCPD and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are often confused as they are thought of as being similar. There is, however, a great difference between the two conditions. Persons with OCD experience tremendous anxiety related to specific preoccupations, which are perceived as threatening. Within the condition of OCPD it is one's dysfunctional philosophy which produces anxiety, anguish and frustration. It has been well established that OCD is a condition in which people perform elaborate rituals to avoid or escape anxiety. Repetitive rituals are performed to undo the threat. Their overall genuine nature tends not to be affected by the condition and in the vast majority of the cases they recognize that the concerns are irrational. A person with washing rituals due to fears about contracting aids from a public door knob might still be very willing to sky dive or go white water rafting. This suggests that a person's inclination toward risk taking is not affected by their anxiety about germs.
