Narcissism, considered a personality disorder, is defined as an all-pervasive pattern of grandiosity in fantasy or behavior. Central features of narcissism include a need for admiration and a lack of empathy. The concept of narcissism has been extended beyond mental illness and is now considered a personality trait (Raskin \u0026amp; Terry, 1988). It follows then that narcissistic tendencies might affect one's communication style. This research elaborates the concept of narcissism, and discusses the ways that narcissistic patterns in interpersonal relationships have been studied. Finally, drawing upon social exchange theory, it finds that con-versational narcissism characterizes 78 percent of marriages, frequently renders spouses invisible, and predicts maladaptive dialogue and divorce at 7 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Leit,Deborah Jacobvitz,Nancy Hazen-Swann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639095189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639095180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.19d","brand":"Lisa Leit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440350048511,"sku":"9783639095180","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ed466de3-973e-48aa-a146-ba4437790e02.jpg?v=1777181863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversational-narcissism-in-marriage-lisa-leit-9783639095180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
