Narcissistic Personality Disorder Toolbox: 55 Practical Treatment Techniques for Clients, Their Partners & Their Children
Product ID: 106350087
Invaluable tools you need to treat clients on the narcissistic spectrum, AND help their partners and children grow beyond the hurt and pain. Narcissism is a treatable condition, but working with these clients is no easy task. Developed from years of experience, Daniel Fox, PhD has created a three-sectioned approach, filled with unique worksheets, checklists and impactful exercises to help: Section 1: Clients on the Narcissistic Spectrum - Diagnose resistant clients - Reduce challenging symptoms and negative behaviors - Move toward the final steps of successful treatment Section 2: Partners in Relationships with an Individual on the Narcissistic Spectrum - Help partners cope with and understand their significant other - Evaluate the costs and benefits of their relationship Section 3: Children of Individuals on the Narcissistic Spectrum - Avoid and break free of the narcissistic family habits - Raise their own children in a healthier environment Review: If you're a therapist, you need this - NPD is often misdiagnosed (usually by self or nonprofessionals) and misunderstood. Of the many clients I have seen to report it or, most commonly, report that others have called them a narcissist, very few actually are AND the few I have had all result from childhood trauma. The language this book utilizes does not attack or instill shame, but rather helps identify the roots of narcissism, techniques therapists can use as well as specific insights into how the individual themselves can work on themselves in a positive way for positive changes. The book helps challenge their beliefs, values and cognitive distortions. There are excellent worksheets in here. This is my go to book while working with those with NPD. Review: Great for new parents that know their parents were pathological - Great for new parents that know their parents were pathological and want to be different. With appropriate support one can break the cycle of narcissism in their family. However, to break the cycle you have to be able to identify it and what makes it pathological. This book will allow you to do that, process your pain and make a plan to move forward differently. As a therapist and survivor of NPD parents, I find this book clear, validating and directive.

Great for new parents that know their parents were pathological and want to be different. With appropriate support one can break the cycle of narcissism in their family.

Neutral book on narcissism, and overcoming it
Many books attack narcissistic people, or teach others how to identify them in order to avoid them. This book instead provides clear and concise insights into the roots of narcissism, how therapists can work with narcissists, and how narcissists themselves can work to change their maladaptive and unhealthy beliefs, values, and patterns.

Very interesting. Best used by a professional.
I do have a degree in Psychology, so I was aware of some of this stuff. Probably not the first choice for a regular interested reader. The information is useful and does provide insight.
