Compassion for the Narcissistic Style
The title Humanizing the Narcissistic Style is already taken (great book!), but that is exactly what I'm trying to do. I wish for a world where the narcissistic personality disorders and really all personality disorders are treated like a flu: Having an illness doesn't make someone a bad person; when someone is sick, they need support and compassion; going around and recklessly inflecting other people is not desirable; focusing on one’s recovery is.
- The Architecture of the Narcissistic False Self: The first article is a collection and explanation of factors that make a false self more or less robust.
- The Narcissistic Spectrum: The second article builds on top of that and describes a range from absent false self to highly stable false self using six tiers along that spectrum.
- Narcissism, Echoism, and Sovereignism: The third article introduces a new model for how to think about narcissism and echoism and also introduces the concept of sovereignism and situates it in the model.
