Combining clinical analysis with psychological profiles of famous
narcissists, here is an indispensable guide to recognizing, coping
with, and ultimately overcoming the destructive behavior of
narcissists.
Everybody needs some healthy narcissism. But in a society obsessed
with appearance, wealth, and status, it's easy for problematic
narcissists to thrive. Many people who seem to "have it all" are
suffering from one of the most common--and overlooked--personality
disorders of our time: high level narcissism. Typified by an
obsession with perfection, a desperate need for admiration, and a
willingness to use and exploit others for personal gain, high level
narcissism can spell devastation for anyone who crosses the
narcissist's path.
In "Freeing Yourself from the Narcissist in Your Life,"
psychotherapist Linda Martinez-Lewi presents an in-depth and
supportive plan for identifying, understanding, and dealing with
high level narcissistic behavior in those close to you.
Martinez-Lewi helps you to liberate yourself from draining personal
relationships with narcissists, and shows how to regain a sense of
peace, balance, and well-being.
Drawing on detailed profiles of famous narcissists, including
Pablo Picasso, Frank Lloyd Wright, Armand Hammer, and Ayn Rand, as
well as expertly rendered case studies from her private practice as
a psychotherapist, Martinez-Lewi shows how to:
- understand where narcissistic behavior comes from;
-learn to spot narcissistic traits, even in the early stages of
relationships;
- realize why attempting to change a narcissist is fruitless;
and
- protect yourself from the narcissist's opportunism, manipulative
behavior, and lack of empathy.
