Written by renowned clinical psychologist Dorien Valent, this eye-opening book is more than just an analysis-it's a practical survival guide for anyone who has ever been trapped in the confusing, painful orbit of a narcissist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional clinical manuals filled with jargon and theory, \u003ci\u003eN.A.R.C.I.S.S.I.S.T.\u003c\/i\u003e breaks down the narcissistic personality into ten unmistakable behaviours, each one linked to a letter in the acronym.
