As the discussion of narcissism, and narcissistic personalities, becomes more prevalent in the wider culture, we may also find that dealing with the therapeutic dynamics of narcissism is becoming more highlighted in our work as counselors and psychotherapists.
Whether we plan to or not, most therapists end up working with individuals with strongly narcissistic personality styles at different times, and these patterns of personality and interaction can have significant impact on the course of therapy.
Whether we are working with them as parents of a minor client, in a couples therapy setting, or as our clients in individual therapy, narcissistic personalities can present with particular challenges in counseling/therapy.
But if therapists can find ourselves with a better understanding of these personalities, along with effective tools, working with these individuals can be very rewarding.
In fact, working with narcissistic leaning clients can even be energizing, rewarding, and fun, if we have the right approach and therapeutic tools.
We hope that you will join us for this comprehensive master-class on this topic, and we hope that (through this course) you might be able to connect with your own inner "Narcissistic Whisperer."
Course Learning Objectives
1.) To look at the history of narcissism in the context of counseling/psychotherapy
2.) To consider the personality traits and characteristics associated with narcissism and the theories of how narcissism develops and is maintained in individuals.
3.) To discuss how narcissism relates with other personality styles such as borderline, antisocial, and histrionic.
4.) To explore various psychotherapeutic approaches and tools that have been shown to be effective in working productively with narcissistic leaning clients.
