If you're still reading and haven't visited the newspapers links yet, let me reveal how this web site happened. I was finding it extremely difficult getting the exact info I was looking for, I know some sites do have it, like the newspapers sites I listed above, but mostly web sites don't offer to the exact thing.

Instead of searching the web and going from one newspapers website to the next I thought I'd create my own newspapers site, and it's obvious I've only just made a start on it. Right now I haven't really got the content I want compiled, which is why I've listed these other, more established newspapers sites. One day soon this will be the best place to visit to find information or buy. Until then you'll have to be satisfied with the newspapers listings.

issistic Personality Disorder - Who is a Malignant Narcissist?

 by: Sam Vaknin, Ph.D.

QUESTION Number 1 - Who is a Narcissist?

Dear Dr. Vaknin,

I read the excerpts you placed on your web site with great interest.

I wanted to ask:

Isn't your definition of malignant narcissism too wide? Having read it, I think that it fits my neighbours, friends, and family to a "t". Everyone seems to be a narcissist to me now!

HELP!

ANSWER

Yours is an understandable reaction. All of us have narcissistic TRAITS. Some of us even develop a narcissistic PERSONALITY. Moreover, narcissism is a SPECTRUM of behaviours - from the healthy to the utterly pathological (known as the Narcissistic Personality Disorder, or NPD).

But the "malignant" narcissist consistently manifests at least 5 of these 9 criteria.

The DSM IV uses this language:

"An all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behaviour), need for admiration or adulation and lack of empathy, usually beginning by early adulthood and present in various contexts."

So, what matters is that these characteristics, often found in healthy people, appear:

  1. Jointly and not separately or intermittently

  2. They are all-pervasive (invade, penetrate, and mould every aspect, nook, and cranny of the personality)

  3. That grandiose fantasies are abundantly discernible

  4. That grandiose (often ridiculous) behaviours are present

  5. That there is an over-riding need for admiration and adulation ("narcissistic supply")

  6. That the person lacks empathy (regards other people as two dimensional cartoon figures and abstractions, unable to "stand in their shoes")

  7. That all these phenomena began, at the latest, in early adolescence

  8. That the narcissistic behaviours pervade all the social and emotional interactions of the narcissist.

Here are the 9 criteria. Having 5 of these 9 "qualifies" you as a narcissist...

  1. Feels grandiose and self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents to the point of lying, demands to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)

  2. Is obsessed with fantasies of unlimited success, fame, fearsome power or omnipotence, unequalled brilliance (the cerebral narcissist), bodily beauty or sexual performance (the somatic narcissist), or ideal, everlasting, all-conquering love or passion

  3. Firmly convinced that he or she is unique and, being special, can only be understood by, should only be treated by, or associate with, other special or unique, or high-status people (or institutions)

  4. Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention and affirmation - or, failing that, wishes to be feared and to be notorious (narcissistic supply).

  5. Feels entitled. Expects unreasonable or special and favourable priority treatment. Demands automatic and full compliance with his or her expectations

  6. Is "interpersonally exploitative", i.e., uses others to achieve his or her own ends

  7. Devoid of empathy. Is unable or unwilling to identify with or acknowledge the feelings and needs of others

  8. Constantly envious of others or believes that they feel the same about him or her

  9. Arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes coupled with rage when frustrated, contradicted, or confronted.

The language in the criteria above is based on or summarized from:
