Abstract in brief
- The text reviews research on pathological narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), highlighting a key problem with inconsistent descriptions and models across different fields, which makes it hard to unify understanding and affects diagnosis.
- It explains that current issues include unclear definitions of normal versus pathological narcissism, and the need to better integrate the two main features—grandiosity and vulnerability—into diagnostic criteria, while avoiding overly simplistic labels like overt and covert narcissism.
- The discussion emphasizes that resolving these criterion problems is important for improving future versions of diagnostic manuals like the DSM and advancing scientific understanding of personality disorders.]
