Is it Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
Description
In recent years the terms narcissist, gaslighting, and coercive control have become household words. And often times those words are being applied as labels to behaviors of abusive partners, albeit incorrectly. In response to the labeling and possible misunderstanding of what or who is a "narcissist" and when the use of terms related to narcissistic personality disorder are actually appropriate, we revisit our 2021 conversation on this topic with Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a licensed clinical psychologist, professor of psychology, and founder of LUNA (Learning/Understanding Narcissistic Abuse) Education, Training & Consulting, LLC. In this episode, Dr. Ramani expounds on the epidemic of narcissism, walks listeners through the mind of a narcissist, shares how to spot the red flags of narcissistic behavior, how narcissism can manifest in relationships often leading to abuse and domestic violence and explains the correct usage of terms related to narcissistic personality disorder.
