“…The shift toward more genuine self-experience and self-expression is one of the central processes of change in treatments of NPD patients (Johnson, 1989;Kernberg, 1975;Masterson, 1981). This process usually happens gradually when the patients are able to trust themselves as well as the therapist, and are able to acknowledge and share inner thoughts, feelings, and observations.…”

“…Two different approaches have been described. One recommends identifying and naming this dismissive and avoidant attitude with a patient in the here-and-now (Masterson, 1981). This intervention promotes engagement in therapy and the development of more secure attachment (Masterson, 1981;Wallin, 2007).…”

“…One recommends identifying and naming this dismissive and avoidant attitude with a patient in the here-and-now (Masterson, 1981). This intervention promotes engagement in therapy and the development of more secure attachment (Masterson, 1981;Wallin, 2007). Another approach suggests identifying and exploring the function of the dismissiveness in the context of different interpersonal themes as they unfold in the therapeutic relationship.…”

“…Both grandiose self-perception and self-loathing have important psychological functions (Johnson, 1989;Kernberg, 1975;Kris, 1990;Masterson, 1981;Ronningstam, 2012). Therefore, disagreeing with either of these beliefs or even offering evidence that contradicts them is likely to prompt the patient to further attempts to "prove these thoughts right."…”

This article identifies guiding principles in effective psychotherapies of patients with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and cautions against some common pitfalls. Individual psychotherapies of NPD patients were examined by both authors, who tested whether or not some principles, recommended in the literature, effectively promote these therapies and help these patients in moving forward with their lives and with effective therapy use. The authors identify a number of principles that were associated with more positive therapy development: helping patients identify goals and direction of their therapies, promoting a sense of agency, promoting a shift of focus to sense of vulnerability, and anticipating difficulty in developing and maintaining the treatment alliance. Common mistakes in these treatments are engaging in a power struggle with the patient, overindulging the grandiosity of the patient, directly challenging the grandiosity of the patient, and ignoring treatment-interfering behaviors. Identification of principles of effective therapies with NPD patients can help with the development of more effective treatment approaches for NPD.

“…8 A fala que Muller analisa, a de um paciente de borderline chamado David, é surpreendentemente similar à discursividade "pendular" de Transatlántico. Em Masterson (1981), outro clássico dos estudos sobre o borderline, descrevem-se traços que bem poderiam servir de base a uma descrição do narrador e protagonista deste romance (instabilidade social surgida do fato de ver o mundo em termos extremos, predomínio do enfado ou da depressão, conduta autodestrutiva etc., ver Masterson 1981: 190/1). Paralelamente, McArthur (1988 agrega "a tendência [do doente de borderline] a sabotar repetidamente seus próprios passos" (McArthur 1988: 195, tradução nossa).…”

Book Reviews 329significant questions about the validity of such a measure. Thematic measures are also discussed, including the TAT, CAT, and Roberts. The latter test offers an aggression index. The authors mention this index, but it would have been helpful to have discussed some of the research and case data on its use. Valuable information on conducting an individual child interview is another feature of this chapter.Goldstein, Harootunian, and Conoley have produced a book on student aggression that is both comprehensive and informative. In Part I the authors discuss the nature of the problem of aggression in American society. They assert that although control and reduction of student aggression is an important theme of the book, preventive efforts are clearly to be preferred. In Part I1 various interventions are discussed. These include psychological skills training, behavior modification techniques, psychodynamic and humanistic interventions, and gang-oriented programs. Part 111 reviews system-oriented interventions and includes separate chapters on the school, the teacher, and the family.
