In reply to Narcissism no longer in DSM, posted by Christ_empowered on May 17, 2011, at 12:52:39
I loved the second through fourth posts of this thread. Funny and truthful.
But i think you are right. There is no need for a Narcissistic diagnosis because narcissism is not really considered a flaw in American culture anymore, it is an expectation.
Look at reality TV. Narcissism is an admired trait. Very disgusting and depressing to me.
The other thing is, how many narcissistic people are going to think they need treatment for it? i'd say somewhere between zero and zero percent.Dinah, your post was also very amusing. That first quote is a very applicable analogy to even modern psychiatry.
