NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a pattern of grandiosity reflected in the behavior or fantasy of the person; the belief of being special and unique prevails. The person presents an exacerbated sense of self-importance, that is, he or she will exaggerate their abilities and speak of their achievements disproportionately.

Generally, this person will demand excessive admiration and special treatment, and will emphasize that he or she can only be understood by people of the same status. It is common for the person to possess unrealizable expectations, for example, he or she might insist that others must bend to their will, baring arrogance and fostering interactions that become exploitative.

This person lacks empathy, is reluctant to recognize or identify the feelings of others and often takes advantage of others to realize his or her own goals.
