Summary

What Causes Narcissism?
The world has been indoctrinated with the false notion that narcissism is the result of a bad childhood.

It’s as if narcissists have been granted immunity from responsibility. Mental health professionals - and the general public alike - seem more than willing to offer narcissists a perfectly convenient scapegoat: trauma.

The goal of this book, using the most recent empirical evidence on the etiology and treatment of narcissistic personality disorder - is to dispel the widely held and already discredited myth that narcissism is the result of childhood trauma. Despite evidence to the contrary, this widely held myth continues to prevail in popular media and culture.

This book aims to correct the mistakes related to the cause of narcissism so that mental health practitioners and the general public will have a scientifically informed understanding of etiology and intervention. Because the reality is that almost everything we have been taught about the cause of narcissism…is wrong.

Refreshing clarity on this subject.

I’ve been delving into the subject of narcissism for about three years now due to a devastating infestation in the extended family. The clear, scientific reasoning and empirical research presented here feels like a breath of fresh air. The tragic impacts and lasting harm caused to those exposed to this disorder are not glossed over and yet the pathways outlined in this book offer a glimmer of hope. The best material I’ve encountered on the subject so far.
