“…If any shame coping strategies are used, they are bound to be adaptive, preserving positive self-esteem. This finding fits well with the clinical notion of many authors that the subject with strong narcissistic traits is unconsciously defending against threatening experiences of high self-esteem [45,46]. Our study replicates Barry et al's [30] finding that grandiose narcissism and high self-esteem partially overlap, but that they also can be differentiated on the basis of adaptive and maladaptive narcissism.…”

We studied if and how the association between grandiose narcissistic traits and juvenile delinquency is mediated by self-esteem and shame regulation strategies. An ethnic diverse and mixed gender sample of 59 delinquent and 275 non-delinquent adolescents between 13 and 18 years of age participated in a survey study, using the Childhood Narcissism Scale (CNS), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the Compass of Shame Scale (CoSS). Narcissism showed a weak positive correlation with self-esteem and externalizing shame regulation. Self-esteem correlated strongly and negatively with internalizing shame regulation and Shame Proneness. Logistic regression analysis showed high SES to be negatively associated with delinquency. Also, self-esteem moderated the relation between narcissism and delinquency in that high self-esteem did increase the chance of narcissism leading to delinquency.

“…They have a serious lack of emotional investment in their relations. Although from the outside they can be seen as part of a large network, they are not interested in keeping their friends and relations for a long time (45,46). All these data can explain the prediction of NTT3 by NPD and the positive correlation between NTT3 and NPD.…”

Relation of the Nine Types of Temperament Model with personality disordersObjective: Aim of this study is to determine the correspondence between personality categories and the types making up the Nine Types of Temperament Model (NTTM) -a new temperament model which evaluates personality disorders within the context of temperament traits and maladaptive personality features-and conceptualization of NTTM types. Method:The sample group is composed of 117 participants with a personality disorder. SCID II and Nine Types of Temperament Scale (NTTS) were applied to the participants.Results: According to the findings, all NTTM types have shown significant correlation with at least one personality disorder. According to the regression analysis results, it was determined that the NTTM types were explained by personality disorders at a rate of 19-41%. Conclusions:In this study, it is found that knowing the temperament features that form the basis of an individual's personality structure is helpful to diagnose and to determine the tendency to develop personality disorders that are pathological responses to personality characteristics. In addition, this study brings up questions such as whether the individual differences between patients with the same personality disorders can be evaluated on the basis of temperament and whether it is possible to determine therapy and treatment approaches according to an individual's temperament type.

“…In an attempt to further understand the formidable challenges these patients pose, clinicians and, increasingly, clinical researchers have focused on the diverse and often contradictory clinical presentations, internal complexity, and subjective distress of individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD; Levy, Reynoso, Wasserman, & Clarkin, 2007;Ronningstam, 2010Ronningstam, , 2011Levy, 2012). The plethora of theories and treatment approaches to narcissistic pathology (Kohut, 1971(Kohut, , 1977Kernberg, 1975Kernberg, , 1984Kernberg, , 1997Kernberg, , 2007Bach, 1985) that reflect the diverse presentations of NPD have been downplayed in the current DSM-IV criteria, which privileges overt grandiosity without taking into account the ways this symptom may be expressed covertly in fantasy or may mask internal distress and suffering.…”

Research has consistently found high rates of comorbidity between narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). Patients with this complex clinical presentation often present formidable challenges for clinicians, such as intense devaluation, entitlement, and exploitation. However, there is a significant gap in the literature in identifying the clinical characteristics of these NPD/BPD patients. In this article, we present recent research describing patients with comorbid NPD/BPD, as compared with patients with BPD without NPD (BPD), from two randomized clinical trials for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, with a particular emphasis on attachment status and mentalization. We anchor our discussion of these patients in object relations and attachment theory, and we describe our treatment approach, transference focused psychotherapy (TFP). We conclude by using case material to illustrate our research findings, highlighting the significant differences between patients with NPD/BPD and BPD/non-NPD in terms of their attachment classification.
