Thank you for putting a name on the personality that describes my long-time boyfriend of 10 years, soon to be ex. I feel a profound sense a relief to finally leave this relationship. Every characteristic described him. How scary.

Dear Editor, I am Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited" , a work of reference about the Narcissistic Personality Disorder: http://barnesandnoble.bfast.com/booklink/click?ISBN=8023833847

I have been studying Narcissistic Personality Disorder for several years now, mostly in the following contexts:

I. Corporate settings and in Politics

II. Abusive and Dysfunctional relationships

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a serious, often undiagnosed condition, frequently related to abuse in childhood. In many cases the disorder compels the sufferer to become the abuser in turn. Once almost unheard of, pathological narcissism is now considered to be at the heart of phenomena as diverse as corporate malfeasance, workplace bullying, the emergence of murderous dictatorships, domestic violence, and serial killings. I would be delighted to assist you in putting together a report, a segment, an issue, an article, or series of articles - regarding this disorder. I am also available for interviews. My media kit is available here: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/mediakit.html

Thank you for your time and consideration. http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com
