“…Unpublished research has indicated associations between higher IQ and narcissistic personality among offenders and in the general population is associated with life success in terms of career and finance (Ullrich et al, unpublished). Psychodynamic theories suggest that the development of narcissistic personality is related to overindulgence (Kernberg, 1989) and outcome of narcissistic over-gratification during childhood, leading to difficulties in self-esteem regulation and the tendency to externalisation (Fernando, 1998). This supposition, and the multiplicative relationship between social withdrawal and affectionate parenting would partly explain the emergence of narcissistic personality disorder in this sample.…”

Adverse childhood experiences and childhood temperamental features are known to contribute to the development of personality disorder. The aim of this study was to examine associations between personality disorder, childhood temperament, adverse childhood experiences, and victimisation. The Prisoner Cohort Study was carried out as part of the dangerous and severe personality disorder (DSPD) service development programme commissioned by the Home Office. The study comprised 1396 male offenders interviewed with the Structured Clinical Interview (SCID II) to diagnose personality disorders in addition to reveal selfreported experiences of childhood victimisation and disadvantage. Independent and joint relationships were examined between reported temperament and adverse childhood experiences and Axis II disorders measured at interview. Prisoners with personality disorder reported\ud adverse childhood experiences and victimisation more frequently than those with no personality disorder. Different childhood experiences were interrelated with specific personality disorder categories. Associations\ud between temperamental features and specific personality disorders were increased by the addition of adverse childhood experiences (joint effects). A difficult temperament and childhood adversity increase the likelihood of personality disorder in prisoners and may be risk factors to target for future early intervention

“…In the current article, we refer to this second form of narcissism as simply vulnerable narcissism. The motivation for this form of narcissism-i.e., the observation that a subset of individuals high in narcissism displays emotional variability, whereas others do not-has been around for some time (e.g., Kernberg, 1975Kernberg, , 1986Kohut, 1977).…”

“…The appearance that everything is ok should be and can be maintained by precisely those traits and characteristics that scholars like Christopher Lasch (1979), and psychotherapists like Heinz Kohut (1966Kohut ( , 1971Kohut ( , 1977cf. Siegel 1996) and Otto Kernberg (1975Kernberg ( , 1989Kernberg ( , 1994 and others describe as narcissistic: to annul the pain of disappointed love their patients, that is, most of us, are facile at managing the impression they give to others, are ravenous for admiration but contemptuous of those that are manipulated in providing it, are unappeasingly hungry for emotional experiences with which to fill an inner void, and are terrified of ageing and death (cf.

This article focuses on the theory put forward by Donald Capps in his The Depleted Self (Sin in a narcissistic age. Minneapolis: Fortress Press, 1993) that there is a particular link between some forms of narcissism and the commitment of particular deadly sins. The data in the research reported in this paper robustly validate the idea that the psychological consequences of the bureaucratic consumer society, understood as a lack of individual well-being leading to a narcissistic defense, show the theological relevance of the deadly sins in understanding those conditions in society which on a global scale appear to threaten the individuality of the single person. Narcissism, both in its covert and overt mode, seems to be the most important variable in explaining the two factors of sin: resentment and desire. In addition to the effects already accounted for by well-being and narcissism, the possible contribution of religion and biography is explored.
