The Narcissistic Pervert
Training description. This course strengthens your command of narcissistic perversion — learning to recognize the narcissist (personality, methods, language, behaviour) as well as the victim (eroded self-esteem, guilt, damaged trust in others...). Dr Eiguer traces the origin and history of the concept, defines it, and above all delivers a detailed clinical portrait of the narcissistic pervert. Through these videos you will learn to identify a narcissistic pervert in therapy, to read their defense mechanisms, and to draw on Dr Eiguer’s advice about the therapist’s role and the pitfalls that call for particular vigilance.
