Google Scholar citation: 176 What I find inspiring about Vankin is that in one of his interviews he mentioned that he was diagnosed him with narcissistic personality disorder and is visiting professor at Southern Federal University in Rostov Oblast, Russia in 2017 holding a course of lectures there on personality theory in psychology. He resembled me yet on the other side of the color pad, I the public health practitioner who is supposed to raise awareness and develop policies against women under domestic violence had undergone the violence, and him a psychologist had been not a borderline narcissist himself. What inspired me is that he gave tips of how a narcissist thinks and acts because he was one until he psychoanalyzed himself. Additionally, he has an email channel and he is prompt in responding to emails, I did email him and he got back to me within a maximum of 48 hours. Cost: $29.39-via Amazon Prime April-12-2018 This review is one of my most challenging as I had to deal with this type of personality in close quarters. Very in depth look on the subject of narcissim. While reading this book I would highlight what applied to my experiences or what I understood. This is a keeper. I wish the author would do a simplified version of this title. Perhaps have a dictionary handy while reading it for unfamiliar terms. Overall it was a difficult read if you like that kind of challenge. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The first ever book about narcissistic abuse, Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited offers a detailed, first hand account of what it is like to have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It contains new insights and an organized methodological framework. The book comprises more than 100 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding relationships with abusive narcissists and the Narcissistic Personality Disorder.What is a personality disorder? When the personality is rigid to the point of being unable to change in reaction to changing circumstances - we say that it is disordered. Such a person takes behavioral, emotional, and cognitive cues exclusively from others. His inner world is, so to speak, vacated. His True Self is dilapidated and dysfunctional. Instead he has a tyrannical and delusional False Self. Such a person is incapable of loving and of living. He cannot love others because he cannot love himself. He loves his reflection, his surrogate self. And he is incapable of living because life is a struggle towards, a striving, a drive at something. In other words: life is change. He who cannot change cannot live.The narcissist is an actor in a monodrama, yet forced to remain behind the scenes. The scenes take center stage, instead. The Narcissist does not cater at all to his own needs. Contrary to his reputation, the Narcissist does not "love" himself in any true sense of the word. He feeds off other people, who hurl back at him an image that he projects to them. This is their sole function in his world: to reflect, to admire, to applaud, to detest - in a word, to assure him that he exists. Otherwise, the narcissist feels, they have no right to tax his time, energy, or emotions.The posting of Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited on the Web in 1997 has elicited a flood of excited, sad and heart rending responses, mostly from victims of Narcissists but also from people suffering from NPD. This is a true picture of the resulting correspondence with them. This book is not intended to please or to entertain. NPD is a pernicious, vile and tortuous disease, which affects not only the Narcissist. It infects and forever changes people who are in daily contact with the Narcissist. In other words: it is contagious. It is my contention that Narcissism is the mental epidemic of the twentieth century, a plague to be fought by all means. This tome is my contribution to minimizing the damages of this disorder. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book is very informative. I've read a lot on personality and still learned things I didn't formerly know. Extremely insightful.
I only gave three stars because the information could have been much better organized. It's written in a question and answer style, and each question is answered as if you are reading it out of context. This leads to a huge amount of repetition, and at times the author seems to contradict himself.
The author admittedly represents the most extreme version of the personality disorder, so keep this in mind while you read. I personally found it helpful, but a few words setting that tone would have been helpful.
One other thing to note. It has a huge amount of links through the book. It's easy to unknowingly select a link when you intent is to turn the page. I kept getting lost. ( )
