“…However, some research has provided evidence for delineation of narcissistic traits. For example, grandiose narcissistic traits have been shown to be unrelated to depressive temperament, while vulnerable narcissistic traits predicted depressive temperament when controlling for anxious temperament (Tritt et al, 2010). Another study found that individuals with a predominance of either narcissistic grandiose or vulnerable traits differ in terms of their interpersonal problems, with the former being associated with hostile-dominant interpersonal difficulties and the latter to hostile-submissive (Dickinson & Pincus, 2003).…”

“…Indeed, like this study, other investigations have recruited samples that have consisted largely (or entirely) of non-clinical individuals, measuring narcissistic traits rather than focusing entirely on individuals who have received a clinical diagnosis of NPD (e.g., Pincus et al, 2009;Thomas, Wright, Lukowitsky, Donnellan, & Hopwood, 2012;Tritt, Ryder, Ring, & Pincus, 2010;Wright et al, 2013).…”

ObjectiveThis study explored the relationships between coping with stress responses and grandiose and vulnerable narcissist traits. MethodA community sample of 170 adults (113 female) participated in this study. A crosssectional design was employed that utilised self-report measures of trait anxiety, social desirability, coping with stress responses, and pathological narcissism. ResultsRegression models indicated that both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism traits are significantly associated with, in opposing directions, behavioural disengagement responses to stress when controlling for trait anxiety and social desirability.Vulnerable narcissism traits were significantly associated with the use of denial as coping with stress response when controlling for the same factors. ConclusionThese findings provide further evidence of the discriminant validity of the Pathological Narcissism Inventory and inform our understanding of the differences that grandiose and vulnerable narcissistic traits have on coping.

“…Interestingly, and elsewhere in the literature, Akiskal (1996) has postulated that affective temperament-conceptually related to DPD-may be the characterological core of depression. Recent findings have indeed confirmed an association between depressive temperament and narcissistic disturbance (Tritt, Ryder, Ring, & Pincus, 2010). Unfortunately, there is dearth of empirical study examining the role of DPD in the treatment of depression, and no study has examined psychodynamic psychotherapy specifically.…”

Depressive personality disorder (DPD) is highly studied and common in clinical settings. Nevertheless, it is rife with controversies and often overshadowed by major depression and dysthymia with which it shares many similarities but also is clinically distinct. Possibly as a result, DPD is underdiagnosed and misunderstood in clinical care. Thus the goal of this practice review is to present a case from psychiatric clinical work illustrating how DPD may be commonly overlooked in routine care, and how the conceptualization of this case and its treatment plan changed course once DPD was considered by treating staff, ultimately contributing to the successful outcome of the case. Questions elicited by the case are subsequently discussed in the context of the empirical literature on DPD, allowing for a clearer picture to emerge on DPD and its role in the development, course, and treatment of depression.

“…It implies hiding aspects of the self that seems needy or inadequate and also experiencing fluctuations in self-esteem contingent on external sources of admiration (Roche, Pincus, Lukowitsky, Ménard, & Conroy, 2013). Vulnerable narcissism is positively associated with more internalized problems like affect regulation, dysphoria, anxiety and shame (Pincus et al, 2009;Tritt, Ryder, Ring, & Pincus, 2010).…”

Eating disorders (EDs) are often characterised by a low self-esteem. Further examination of the different facets of self-esteem (explicit and implicit) and its relationship to a key personality trait, narcissism, might deepen our understanding of EDs. The aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between explicit and implicit self-esteem as well as grandiose and vulnerable narcissism in a population with EDs. Explicit and implicit self-esteem as well as pathological narcissism were compared in participants with EDs (n = 69), participants with anxiety disorders (n = 51) and participants with no history of psychiatric disorders (n = 93). All participants completed a battery of questionnaires and participated in a categorization task to measure implicit self-esteem, the Implicit Association Test (IAT). The participants with EDs had the lowest explicit self-esteem (p < 0.001), the highest levels of vulnerable narcissism (p < 0.001) and they presented higher levels of grandiose narcissism compared to participants with no history of psychiatric disorders. However, they were not different than the other groups on implicit self-esteem (p = 0.271). Participants with EDs are characterised by a low convergent self-esteem (low explicit and implicit self-esteem). Our findings also suggest that participants with EDs present narcissistic fragilities that are better explained by explicit self-esteem alone rather than by implicit self-esteem or an interaction of both facets of self-esteem.
