Narcissism entered the public lexicon and became essentially synonymous with selfish arsehole.There is not a single clinical term that has been raped harder by its usage in pop sci than "narcissism", so I'm assuming Dr. K used the popular understanding of it? There exists the concept of a "good narcissism" regarded in psychoanalysis as necessary to healthy psychological development.
Man I can't wait to watch the full stream.
Clinical narcissism requires you fulfil at least 5 of the following traits according to the DSM:
- Grandiose sense of self-importance.
- Preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
- Belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions.
- Need for excessive admiration.
- Sense of entitlement.
- Interpersonally exploitive behavior.
- Lack of empathy.
- Envy of others or belief that others are envious of him or her.
- Demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes.
I'd hope a reputable doctor wouldn't try and diagnose someone off of the back of a single interview and background information, but they could definitely suspect someone of clinical narcissism.
