Are parents to blame for the narcissism in their kids? Diana Diamond explains the connection between attachment styles and narcissistic pathology.
There are two types of insecure attachment (dismissing avoidant & ambivalent preoccupied) that seem to go hand in hand with the two different presentations of narcissistic pathology (grandiose & vulnerable). Or people can have a disorganized combination of the two, in which case the oscillation between vulnerable and grandiose states can make treatment difficult.
We interviewed Diana Diamond about narcissism and its prevalence in our society today, all the way from healthy traits to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
