Clearly there are a lot of controlling and abusive people out there. And some of us are unlucky enough to have to deal with one or more of them. As a way of referring to such people, we often turn to the concept of narcissism. As a psychologist starting to write about narcissism though, I quickly became confused. The concept referred to on social media and in self-help books, sounded different to the concept in the arena of psychotherapy and psychology literature and research. Online, one of the most fascinating aspects of narcissism was being talked about less and less. In this post I want to look at this feature of narcissism that is being left out and explore why, with the help of some high-profile examples.
