"Narcissist: The Skilled Abuser"

Her research and experience will also help clinicians identify survivors of this abuse within their practice and assist them in understanding the root of their client’s addiction to such relationships. Additionally, Dr. Barrett will touch on 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.
