Narcissism. A Phenomenon in Consultative and Clinical Psychology: A Textbook

Bright, grandiose, magnificent, charismatic, at the center of attention surrounded by their entourage, reveling in power and their own greatness, or wounded and unrecognized, taking revenge on others for their troubled childhood and using the few who are caught in their "web" to replenish their resources - these people are so different, yet they show the dark sides of one phenomenon - narcissism. Narcissistic manifestations, not reaching clinical levels, exist in the lives of many people: politicians, artists, educators, and representatives of other professions that imply interaction with the public and self-presentation. What happens in the narcissistic entourage and narcissistic harem, what do they experience, how do victims escape from narcissists and recover, how a child traumatized in the family becomes a narcissistic personality and how narcissistic fathers or mothers use their child - all this you will find in this book.
