What is the best therapeutic intervention for someone with malignant narcissism?

In: Narcissism [Edit categories]

Answer:

CBT is probably the preferred method of counselling a narcissist, but this can only happen if the narcissist knows that something is wrong and WANTS to change. The problem with narcissists is the feeling of being god-like and better than anyone else, to even suggest there is a problem is outrageous and so they turn it around making you the one with the problem who needs help. A very difficult scenario.
