W. Keith Campbell: The psychology of narcissism

The psychology of narcissism

Narcissism, rooted in myth, now scrutinized by psychologists, reveals a blend of grandiose and vulnerable traits impacting society.

Cultural shifts towards individualism and self-promotion since the 1970s in the U.S. have fertilized the soil for narcissism to grow.

Psychotherapy and compassion practice emerge as beams of hope, guiding narcissists toward a path of self-reflection and improvement.
