Course Description
What is narcissism and what is Narcissistic Personality disorder? More specifically, how do these pervasive personality patterns affect children with narcissistic parents and adult children of narcissistic parents? The course offers insight into the emotional, mental, and legal implications of narcissistic parenting and how the clinician can best be prepared when the client is a minor. Dr. Barrett will address the current controversy of “diagnosing” a narcissistic individual who is not in the room and how this controversy has perpetuated the cycle of abuse. Her research and experience as a fact and expert witness will serve to discuss issues related to false accusations of parental alienation, lack of understanding and tolerance in the judicial system, and how the narcissist controls custody of a child. The training will assist the clinician in how to best help the individual find autonomy, the effects of growing up with a narcissistic parent and how to manage expectations should they remain in contact with loved ones who have the disorder. The ultimate goal is to provide information so that practitioners are vigilant in identifying clients with complex post traumatic stress due to a relationship with a narcissistic personality, thereby putting the diagnosis into context, which in turn improves their client’s self-empowerment and ability to heal.
