Summary

What Causes Narcissism?

The world has been indoctrinated with the false notion that narcissism is the result of a bad childhood.

It's as if narcissists have been granted immunity from responsibility. Mental health professionals - and the general public alike - seem more than willing to offer narcissists a perfectly convenient scapegoat: trauma.

The goal of this book, using the most recent empirical evidence on the etiology of narcissistic personality disorder - is to dispel the widely held and already discredited myth that narcissism is the result of childhood trauma. Despite evidence to the contrary, this pseudoscientific notion continues to prevail in popular media and culture. This book aims to correct the mistakes related to the cause of narcissism so that mental health practitioners and the general public will have a scientifically informed understanding of etiology and diagnosis. Because the reality is that almost everything we have been taught about the cause of narcissism...is wrong.
