Here is another interesting article from the same journal.. Demystifying Paradoxical Characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

From the article..
Quote:
NPD is commonly experienced interpersonally by others as insufferable, pompous, and un-empathic.[1] NPD persons have been identified to possess giant self-centeredness, a certainty that they own supreme personality, and their humiliation of others makes them intolerable for interpersonal relations.[1]
ouch.

Quote:
In conclusion, it is important that the caring habits be taught to the NPD client, once a therapist has identified an individual with strong self-object needs and who meets the criteria for NPD. Using Choice theory, the psychotherapist directs an individual toward fulfilling interpersonal relationships and educates the person to relate in more helpful modes using internal control psychology.[6] The better NPD persons are proficient at bonding and comprehending other individual needs, the better prospect they possess to receive positive self-object transferences and happiness.
