Patološki narcizam : teorije i istraživanja

U kliničkom radu sa patološkim narcizmom veliku prepreku može predstavljati složenost ovog konstrukta, kao i jaz između različitih kliničkih pristupa i podataka koje nalazimo u teorijskoj i empirijskoj literaturi kliničke psihologije, socijalne i psihologije ličnosti, psihijatrijskom istraživanju i istraživanju psihoterapije. Dijagnostičke i terapijske odluke se često donose bez eksplicitnog razmatranja složenosti konstrukta i relevantnih rezultata istraživanja. Preglednim se radom nastoji obuhvatiti prijepore u literaturi o patološkom narcizmu kada je riječ o kliničkoj formulaciji, mjerenju i tretmanu. Narativni pregledni rad o patološkom narcizmu otkriva složene etiološke faktore, razvoj i posljedice i upućuje na specifične izazove tretmana patološkog narcizma.In working clinically with a pathological narcissism, complexity of this construct, as well as a gap between different clinical approaches and empirical data from clinical psychology, social/personality psychology, psychiatric research and psychotherapy research, proves problematic. Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions have too often been made without explicit consideration of complexities of the construct, its theoretical conceptualizations and relevant research evidence. A literature review seeks to include controverises in the literature on pathological narcissism when it comes to clinical formulation, measurement and tretament. Understanding of literature on pathological narcissism is needed in clinical management of pathological narcissism, i.e. its formulation, measurement and treatment. A narrative literature review discovers complex etiological factors, development and consequences, and informs on specific challenges in tretament of pathological narcissism
