Tim Hall, New York Press, Volume 16, Issue 7 - February 12, 2003

Interviews (New-York Times, New-York Post, Washington Post and other major media)

 United Press International  Part I Part II

"Vaknin’s a respected expert on malignant narcissists ... He set about to know everything there is about the psychopathic narcissist."

Ian Walker, ABC Radio National Background Briefing, July 18, 2004

What Mental Health Professionals and Authors have to say

“Bringing to light new developments in narcissistic personality disorders, Vaknin’s pioneering and original work Malignant Self-Love Narcissism Revisited meticulously addresses the ever-changing states, traits, and characteristics of this disorder. His theoretical comparative study of how different theorists defines and describes narcissism is most inspiring and has been a major source for my own work. This is truly a masterpiece!  I highly recommend this book not only essential for mental health professionals treating them but for all those who live, love and work with them.”

(Joan Jutta Lachkar, Ph.D., Author of Narcissistic/Borderline Couples, Affiliate Member for the New Center for Psychoanalysis)

“Among many books published on the topic of pathological narcissism, this is by far the best.

It is highly recommended not only for the general public but also for professional therapists.”

(Akira Otani, Ed.D.,ABPH, University of Maryland)

“Seminal book on narcissism ... distinguished by its many ‘insider’ insights... depicts this personality disorder in ways that most readers, experientially, can easily relate to.”

(Psychology Today, written by: Leon F. Seltzer, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and author of “Paradoxical Strategies in Psychotherapy”)

"Sam is doing a great work on pathological narcissism. His book "Malignant self love" is our first guideline in handling malignant types of patients in the forensic setting."


(Dr. Sanja Radeljak, MD, PhD, psychiatrist and forensic expert, Neuropsychiatric hospital "Dr. Ivan Barbot" Popovaca, Croatia)

 

“Sam Vaknin is the number one author in guiding this understanding - technically rich - and serious in details of specific dynamics other authors don't get ...

 

This is the one book to support professionals and people coming out of dysregulated families and dysfunctional relations.”

 

(Dr. Claudia Riecken, clinician and neuroscientist, Brazil)

“The book penetrates deeply into the narissist's mind and is filled with myriad gripping novel insights.

It gives the reader a great insight into the fears, desires, defenses, and motives of the narcissist, as well as those in relationship with the narcissist.”

(Alison Poulsen, Ph.D.)

“Brilliant, insightful, extremely relevant, not only clinically, but practically, on a day to day basis.

This work can be immediately applied and be of assistance to our society at large.”

(Dr. Cyndie Spanier, Ph.D., Deputy Director at Pittsburgh Behavioral Medicine, LLC)

Sam is a genius his work most inspiring not only to myself but to my colleagues as well.”

(Joan Jutta Lachkar, Ph.D., Affiliate Member of the New Center for Psychoanalysis and

Author of: How to Talk to a Narcissist; How to Talk to a Borderline; Narcissistic/Borderline Couples)

 

Sam Vaknin is extremely impressive and the author of Malignant Self-Love: Narcissism Revisited, which is a seminal work on narcissism.

Buy Vaknin’s book because it will teach you every single thing in the world about narcissists. This guy invented how we think about narcissism.”

(Dr. Samantha Rodman, DrPsychMom.com)

"Sam Vaknin is an expert on this field and presents his work clearly and with ease. I recommend this book most highly as awareness of NPD is crucial in this world today and Sam Vaknin gives his exclusive comprehensive understandings of this topic. This book will help you with human interactions in dealing with families, friends and co-workers.

This is a most valuable investment for you in reading and re-reading, to have in your library. This read is worth several therapy sessions I believe and more so in fact."

(Audrey Epstein, M.S. Ed., MPA)

“Clinicians, researchers and narcissistic abuse victims alike have benefited from this one-of-a-kind book about narcissistic personality disorder. As a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic abuse recovery, psychopathy, and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), I endorse this book as an empowering clinical tool. This resource has helped me to form a clearer diagnostic impression of malignant narcissists who seek my help during episodes of desperation and withdrawal due to narcissistic supply depletion. Armed with a more comprehensive understanding of NPD, I feel calm and in control when ambushed by narcissistic rage during diagnostic interviews and psychotherapy sessions. Vaknin's familiar descriptions of psychological theory and clinical terminology are quite helpful in managing transference and countertransference issues in order to maintain healthy therapeutic boundaries. This book is an invaluable resource to mental health professionals to combat compassion fatigue and psychological abuse when working with cluster b personality pathology. I highly encourage clinicians to both read and reference Malignant Self-love to improve treatment outcomes for victims of narcissistic abuse.”

(Dr. April Jones, Licensed Psychologist in Chicago, Illinois, USA)

(Liane J. Leedom, M.D., author of 'Just Like His Father?')

He knows everything there is to know about narcissistic and psychopathic abusers and how to cope with them effectively."

 

(Yomtov Barak, family therapist)

"I was stimulated just as I was challenged and enlightened."

Sam has plugged all the loopholes, exposed all the plots, and introduced a new language to confront the Narcissist.
