And Relationships with Abusive Narcissists
The content of this Web site is based on correspondence since 1996
With hundreds of people suffering from the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (narcissists)
And with thousands of their family members, friends, therapists, and colleagues.
I am the author of Malignant Self Love: Narcissism Revisited. (number 1 bestseller in its category in Barnes and Noble).
The Web site "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited" is an Open Directory Cool Site and a Psych-UK recommended Site.
I am not a mental health professional though I am certified in psychological counseling techniques by Brainbench.
I am the editor of Mental Health Disorders categories in the Open Directory Project and on Mentalhelp.net. I have my own websites about the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and about relationships with abusive narcissists here and in HealthyPlace.

I am also the editor of the Narcissistic Personality Disorder topic, the Verbal and Emotional Abuse topic, and the Spousal Abuse and Domestic Violence topic, all three on Suite101, as well as the moderator of the Narcissistic Abuse List and other mailing lists (c. 4000 members). I write a column for Bellaonline on Narcissism and Abusive Relationships.
You can view my biography here.
I suggest you read this first, "What is Pathological Narcissism?"
"A pattern of traits and behaviours which
signify infatuation and obsession with one's self to the exclusion of all others
and the egotistic and ruthless pursuit of one's gratification, dominance and
ambition.
Narcissism is named after the ancient Greek myth of Narcissus who was a handsome
Greek youth who rejected the desperate advances of the nymph Echo. In punishment
of his cruelty, he was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool
of water. Unable to consummate his love, he pined away and changed into the
flower that bears his name to this very day."
