Narcissism Behind the Mask
Narcissism Behind the Mask by David Thomas, published by Book Guild Publishing, Limited in 2012, explores the complex dynamics between narcissists and codependents. This 181-page book delves into the traits of narcissistic individuals, such as arrogance and manipulativeness, and examines how these characteristics impact their relationships with others. Through a psychological lens, the author sheds light on the often painful interactions that arise when codependents become entangled with narcissists, leading to unhealthy and parasitic relationships.
Readers will find a thorough analysis of the behaviors exhibited by both narcissists and codependents, as well as insights into the suffering they inflict on each other and those around them. The book also offers pathways for both parties to regain control and find happiness in their lives. By referencing notable events like the collapses of Enron and RBS, Thomas illustrates the broader implications of narcissistic behavior in various contexts. This edition is presented in English and is designed to engage those interested in psychology, personality, and behaviorism.
Official synopsis Publisher
Would you fall in love with someone who is arrogant, exhibitionistic, vain manipulative, and greedy for admiration? Would you work under a boss who flies into uncontrollable rages, assassinates the character of anyone who gets in his way, and the projects his own paranoia on to you?
Sounds like a no-brainer…but many of us actually do! That makes some of us codependents and them power-hungry narcissists. As they trample over us in their quest for self-aggrandisement and we find ourselves dragged into an unhealthy parasitic relationship with them, out of control.
This book shines a light on the reasons why narcissists and codependents are like they are, on the pain and suffering the narcissists inflict on codependents, and the pain and suffering they both inflict on others around them. Importantly, it shows how both narcissists and codependents can move towards winning back control and regaining happiness in their lives.
And if you think no one could be so unremittingly egotistical, just hark back to the collapse of Enron in 2001 and that of RBS in 2009—both of these spectacular crashes with worldwide reverberations were brought about by self-seeking CEOs whose narcissistic arrogance is typical of the behaviour of the narcissists dealt with in these pages.
