Self-Awareness and Healing
If the narcissist becomes self-aware, if he accepts that he is a narcissist, isn't this the first, important step, towards healing?

Don;t know how Sam came to these conclusions, but again hit the nail on the head. Going through a major upheaval [again], I want to change [again]. I'm not encouraged to know that I can never heal, but maybe encouraged that I can change enough to make life easier for those around me. |

This guy is so full of crap it's laughable. Vaknin is right about one thing, narcissists are prone to both grandiosity, self-justification and pathological lying. Nowhere is this more evident than in Vaknin's writings on the condition of narcissism. He makes the condition sound so big, so powerful, so enduring: all the exact things a narcissist dreams of being.
Vaknin's schtick is so predictable that its almost laughable. Blow the seriousness of this disorder all out of hand in order to scare people into buying his book and turning to him reverentially for help. It's no wonder Vaknin insists that narcissism cannot be healed; he doesn't want to be healed and he's wrote an entire book and an astonishing number of webpages that seem to have one purpose: legitimizing and feeding his narcissism.
Vaknin tells us very little about narcissism, except that like with worst of them it's all about him. His book should be called "I, Sam Vaknin." There's little more to it than that. |

Dear Sam Vaknin...Thank you so much for this article...This seems to be my daughters personality disorder...She is single and 48 years old...She would not go to the Dr. with me to work all of this out for us.So...My close friend was a mental health RN...World War 11... and ...she told me this is her problem after I discribed her behavior. with my friend......I was desperate as I did not know where to turn ..My friend and you have helped me very much cope with this situation...My daughter is single and no children...She is serious diabetic also......She will not communicate with me now since August, 2006 as I made it clear her abuse towards me will end and we must see a Dr. together on this...She will not...She has deserted me now as a result of my wanting to go to the Dr. with her to work out...I asked her to go for me please...I still send her articles on this ... I am in assisted living thank God and do not have to live with her at almost 70 years old and not in good health....Thank you again for your very helpful article...She is very educated and successful so she is blessed in many areas of her life.....Sandy Boletchek |
