Narcissists & Narcissistic Personality Disoder: When Grandiosity and Vulnerability Collide (What Makes Them Tick)

By Max Wachtel

What is narcissism? Do all narcissists have personality disorders? Is President Trump a Narcissist? These are just a few of the questions that will be answered in Max Wachtel's book. Whether or not the mental illness known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder even exists (and there is some controversy about this notion), it is clear that narcissism is prevalent in today's world, and it lies on a continuum from totally fine to mildly annoying to completely irritating to terrible romantic partner to potentially dangerous to absolutely insufferable to mass murderer. As with any other trait, most narcissists are going to fall into the relatively harmless, if not completely annoying, realm. Still, it is important to understand the phenomenon and to recognize that, even if it is not a new problem for humanity, unchecked narcissism has the potential to lead to a host of interpersonal and societal ills. Max Wachtel, Ph.D. covers all facets of narcissism and uses humor and references from popular culture to help the material come alive in readers' minds.
