What do you think of the guy? He is an Israeli writers who has written many books, but is most well know about writing on narcissistic personality, claims he has it, and also claims to have a PhD but I found no sources.

I looked up his wiki page, Sam Vaknin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, where PhD is mentioned by in reference to some physics theory. Could he have a PhD, not in psych but in physics? No CV found or where he got his PhD, if he has it. Apparently he was also in a documentary and it is mentioned he met the criteria for psychopathy but not narcissism. That complicates things more.

Why am I asking this? Because I was reading an excerpt from his book, on a psych page, and I started to wonder how truthful his views are.

I read a little about him. It appears only expertise with NPD is that he claims to have the full-blown disorder.

I appreciate what he's doing to help NPD's.
