“…It is common for children who have experienced a traumatic loss to suffer lowered self-esteem, narcissistic injury, and a sense of degradation (Mishne, 1979). For this reason, it is necessary after such a trauma for family members and practitioners to assist children in understanding this experience.…”

“…due to having been given up, put aside, left, or lost. 61 When families are in disarray, struggling to manage economic and emotional crises and chaos, and lack access to social safety nets that might help stabilize them, parents and parental figures may come and go more frequently and unpredictably. These family transitions can occur for myriad reasons, perhaps because a family member's stress-related emotional instability undermines lasting relationships, because one or another partner is forced to seek gainful employment elsewhere, or because criminal justice system interventions (such as parental imprisonment) destabilize the family unit.…”

It could have had any number of possible endings. But events unfold along a single track. As we make decisions and decisions are made for us, we shed the lives that might have been.-DANIELLE ALLEN 1 S everal decades of psychological theory and research now document the basic proposition that events that occur in childhood and adolescence can profoundly influence and affect adult behavior. Psychologists have long known that children need to be provided with "dependable attachment, protection, guidance, stimulation, nurturance, and ways of coping with adversity" during their early years of growth and development. 2 But we also now know that a very high percentage of persons who violate the law have lacked many of these things in their early lives and have been exposed instead to forms of psychological trauma, including what I explained in the last chapter have been termed "risk factors." Of course, the two facts are not unrelated. We now know that certain risk factors and traumatic experiences can be highly criminogenic, especially when they occur in combination. As I discuss at length in this chapter, there is much evidence that a great many persons who commit crime were exposed to multiple, serious, and chronic criminogenic risks and traumas as children and adolescents, casting grave doubt on the causal emphasis that the crime master narrative places on the

“…Early environment of stars: Possible abandonment, trauma and overindulgent or absent wealthy parents. Early experiences of childhood abandonment and trauma, including parental death and divorce have been associated with personality problems, including narcissistic traits (Beatson, 1995;Brennan & Shaver, 1998;Mandelbaum, 1980;Marmar & Freeman, 1988;Mishne, 1979). Individuals with narcissistic disorders have shown to be characterized by their experience of severe emotional trauma and/or deprivation and neglect in infancy or early childhood.…”

The present study introduces a model explaining what leads stars to crash and assesses risk factors that lead stars to crash in a sample of 18 celebrities who have had a downfall. Downfalls include alcoholism, drug abuse or addiction, mental illness, myriad relationship problems, death, suicide or other life-changing disasters. First, the paper theorizes that individuals' early environments and social forces, such as assortativeness and affiliation, contribute to their narcissistic traits. The model illustrates how these risk factors including narcissistic traits and the adult environments of stars lead them to engage in behaviors that lead to their downfalls. To examine the usefulness of this model, the paper examined the lives of famous celebrities (i.e., “stars”) who had public downfalls 2 (n = 18) using secondary sources. It assessed the risk factors involved in the crashing of stars. In concordance with I the proposed model, results showed that what the majority of these cases had in common were: Atypical early environments, such as abandonment and trauma, over-indulgent or absent wealthy parents, or an early career; and adult environment conditions, such as colluding social groups and entourages. These factors could be linked to stars having extramarital affairs damaging their marriage or careers; bankruptcy; or alcohol and/or drug addiction. In some cases these factors have led to stars having accidents, or deaths. Furthermore, the study shows that there is a positive correlation between the number of risk factors present and the severity of the downfall of the stars.
