Papers Myths About Narcissism (U.S. News) "Research psychologist Jean Twenge laid out these seven myths about narcissism, which she and her coauthor identify in their new book, The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement." 04-09 Narcissism: DSM-IV Axis II Diagnosis (PsyWeb.com) "Narcissistic personality is characterized by behavior or a fantasy of grandiosity, a lack of empathy and a need to be admired by others. Narcissistic personality has a pathological unrealistic or inflated sense of self-importance, has an inability to see the viewpoints of others, and is hypersensitive to the opinions of others." 04-09 Study: "Self-Enhancers" Seem More Resilient (U.S. News) " 'Self-enhancers are somewhat grandiose,' says Dr. George Bonanno, associate professor of clinical psychology and the lead researcher in the study. 'They are preoccupied with themselves, they score high on measures of narcissism, and the research shows pretty clearly that they are annoying to be around.' " "Even though the participants were randomly selected, in any group of people about 20 percent are likely to be self-enhancers. In this study, those who showed self-enhancement traits reported fewer post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms and were simply happier and more well adjusted over time than most others." 04-09 Visionary Leaders (Maccoby.com) "Great Vision. I once asked a group of managers to define a leader. 'A person with vision' was a typical response. Productive narcissists understand the vision thing particularly well, largely because they are by nature people who see the big picture. They are not analyzers who can break up big questions into manageable problems; they aren’t number crunchers either (these are typically the obsessives). Nor do they try to extrapolate to understand the future—they attempt to create it. To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, some people see things as they are and ask why; narcissists see things that never were and ask why not." 11-07 Why There Are So Many Narcissists Now (U.S. News) "Narcissism, or excessive self-love, is marked by bloated confidence, vanity, materialism, and a lack of consideration for others. Yet narcissistic personality traits have become so pervasive in American culture that they threaten to transform us into a nation of egomaniacs, research psychologists Jean Twenge and W. Keith Campbell say in their new book The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement." 04-09 Workplace - Identifying the Serial Bully (UK National Workplace Bullying Advice Line) "The serial bully exhibits behaviours congruent with the diagnostic criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder," Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Paranoid Personality Disorder, and possibly Borderline Personality Disorder.  "Mediation with this type of individual is inappropriate. Serial bullies regard mediation (and arbitration, conciliation, negotiation etc) as appeasement, which they ruthlessly exploit...." "It is a key identifying feature of a person with a personality disorder or psychopathic personality that, when called to account, they will accuse the person who is unmasking them of being the one with the personality disorder or psychopathic personality from which they (the bully) suffer." "If this trap is being used on you, assert 'projection' as a defence against disciplinary action or as part of your legal proceedings." When the bully is confronted by an impartial review, the bully denies everything he or she is alleged to have done and then counter-attacks. If these strategies are not effective, the serial bully feigns victimhood. 1-02
