The go-to guide for dealing with the narcissist in your
life--now fully revised and updated based on reader feedback!
Do you know someone who is overly arrogant, shows an extreme lack of
empathy, or exhibits an inflated sense of entitlement? Do they exploit
others, or engage in deluded thinking? These are all traits of
narcissistic personality disorder, and when it comes to dealing with
narcissists, it can be difficult to get your point across. So, how do
you handle the narcissistic people in your life? You might interact with
them in social or professional settings, and you might even love one--so
ignoring them isn't really a practical solution. They're frustrating,
and maybe even intimidating, but ultimately, you need to find a way of
communicating effectively with them.
Now a self-help classic, Disarming the Narcissist is a practical,
step-by-step communication guide to help you cope with and confront the
narcissist in your life. Based on reader feedback, this fully revised
and updated third edition features new information on shame,
hypersexuality, and infidelity in narcissism; legal information to help
you if you are divorcing a narcissist; and the impact of narcissism on
children.
With this how-to guide, you'll learn how to separate yourself from a
narcissist's traps, and gain the respect and validation you
deserve--while side-stepping unproductive power struggles and senseless
arguments with someone who is at the center of his or her own universe.
Finally, you'll learn how to set limits with your narcissist and when
it's time to draw the line on unacceptable behavior.
