What are the costs and consequences of narcissism? Maybe jeopardizing your career, or an important relationship? Diana Diamond takes us through two cases of narcissism she has treated: one high-functioning, the other more vulnerable.
Whether brought on by grandiosity or the lesser-known 'hiding the self' of vulnerable narcissism, the behaviors produced by pathological narcissism have their risks. In exploring the behaviors in therapy, the person's dominant object relation is revealed -- a major step forward in treatment.
We interviewed Diana Diamond about narcissism and its prevalence in our society today, all the way from healthy traits to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
