Activity Description

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a complex psychological condition that presents with a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy. NPD can cause significant social and occupational impairment and often has complications of comorbid psychiatric and substance use disorders. This course discussion explores the historical evolution of the concept of narcissism, as well as the etiology, assessment, and treatment of NPD.

Structured within the context of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and its cluster-based classification, this activity navigates through Cluster B personality disorders, emphasizing the distinct characteristics shared among disorders like NPD, antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and histrionic personality disorder. The session also critically examines the limitations of the DSM's clustering framework in effectively capturing the multifaceted nature of personality disorders. The integration of an interprofessional team is underscored, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to evaluation and treatment, aiming to mitigate the significant social and occupational impairments linked with NPD. The scarcity of effective treatment options for NPD is addressed, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and collaborative interventions for improved patient outcomes in the face of this challenging condition.
