3 stars from me because it was a bit blah. Maybe a little complicated at times and not enough information on helping, but more describing what it is, how to identify it, and the characteristic behaviors. Just OK...
Comes from a fruedian angle. Pretty academic in its language.
Think I read this for a class & since I didn't sell it back or get rid of it, I must have enjoyed it on some level. Donating now as I am clearing bookshelves for a move.
Great overall clinical approach to narcissism. (mlschrader)
