Docs Examine the Narcissistic Personality

Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. On The PointMindy Todd discusses the psychology of narcissism with Dr. Marc Whaley, psychiatrist, and Dr. Michael Abruzzese, psychologist.
