Planning your breakup carefully and strategically is essential when dealing with a narcissist. Dr. Craig Malkin, author of “Rethinking Narcissism,” recommends choosing an appropriate time and place for the conversation, and making sure you have a safe exit plan.
Craig Malkin, author of “Rethinking Narcissism,” told the New York Times that people in this frame of mind will display the “triple E,” which includes “entitlement, exploitation and a lack of empathy.”
“It’s the triple E: exploitation, entitlement and empathy impairment,” said clinical psychologist Craig Malkin, author of “Rethinking Narcissism: The Secret to Recognizing and Coping with Narcissists.” “That’s the core of pathological narcissism.”
Dr Craig Malkin, a leading clinical psychologist, Harvard Medical School lecturer and the author of Rethinking Narcissism, draws a clear line between healthy and unhealthy narcissism. “When I looked at all the research, it became clear that the core of narcissism is something called self-enhancement. And self-enhancement is the drive to feel special, exceptional or unique. It’s not self-esteem. It’s not self-confidence. It’s a slightly overly positive view of self.”
According to Dr. Craig Malkin, a clinical psychologist and author of Rethinking Narcissism, narcissism exists on a spectrum. Recognizing where you fall on this spectrum is essential.
