Editorial Reviews

This single volume assembles the current thinking of the leading figures in the field. The combination of breadth and thorough discussions that are both scholarly and clinically relevant is unusual and refreshing. Reading this book is like being a privileged guest at a meeting of the people whose work is synonymous with the study of narcissism today. It is a must for anyone who treats, studies, or is interested in narcissistic pathology.

Robert Michels

This book presents a highly informative, lucid, and clinically useful account of pathological self-absorption and its deleterious effects upon capacities for concern, love, work, and morality. Not only does it address individual psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, it also elucidates the treatment of narcissistic patients in intensive psychiatric milieu, group therapy, schema-focused therapy, and even couples therapy.

Salman Akhtar

Paperbound reprint of a 1998 work published by the American Psychiatric Press. Ronningstam (psychology, Harvard Medical School, as well as McLean Hospital and other institutions) offers important contributions to the understanding of pathological narcissism and its treatment to date. Combining clinical diagnostic observations, advances in treatment, and empirical evidence, 18 contributions provide an overview of psychotherapy as applied to this disorder. They probe subjects such as transference and counter-transference, the self-psychological perspective, an object-relations approach, and the treatment of narcissistic disorders in group and couples therapy.
