In this episode Narcissism expert Dr Supriya McKenna and UK solicitor Karin Walker discuss with Clinical Psychologist Dr Daksha Hirani why it is that NPD is not well recognised in the UK and why mental health professional and lawyers are not being trained in NPD. They talk about the issue of the family members of narcissists 'diagnosing' the narcissists and why getting a formal diagnosis of narcissism is unlikely to be helpful. Dr Hirani explains why victims of narcissistic abuse should never 'name and shame' the narcissist in their lives, and why it is that a narcissist will attempt to annihilate their spouse in divorce. They also discuss the narcissist's need to collect objects or continually have new fads in order to gain narcissistic supply from others.
Dr Supriya is an Amazon no 1 bestselling author in the subject of narcissism, and the author of the new books Narcissists in Divorce: From Love-Locked to Leaving and The Narcissist Trap :The Mind-Bending Pull of the Great Pretenders.
