The World of the Narcissistic Victim: Relationships in the Context of Modern Neurosis (6257)

Psychologists talk about the epidemic of narcissism. Today's world demands that we meet more and more demands - we must demonstrate leadership qualities and creativity, think positively, constantly study, work very hard and earn well. In this world, there is no place for fatigue, bad mood, bad choices, crisis of values and other phenomena that accompany ordinary human life. All this becomes reinforcement for people with narcissistic injury, convinced that they are not good enough as they are. They demand from themselves (as, perhaps, their parents demanded from them in childhood or their narcissistic partner expects, already in adulthood) an ideal. And since they are not able to achieve it, they consider the only possible thing - to put up with unsatisfactory life circumstances and traumatic relationships. Only awareness of the traumatic experience allows you to make it a part (a useful part!) of your personality and restore your own integrity. The book by psychologist Anastasia Dolganova tells how to recognize the roots and manifestations of narcissism (this is helped by numerous stories of clients that the author cites) and find a path to your true self and healthy relationships with others.
