Daniel Shaw, LCSW. Understanding Traumatizing Narcissism and Its Clinical Utility.
Mr. Shaw presents a way of understanding the traumatic impact of narcissism as it is engendered developmentally and as it is enacted relationally. Here, he focuses on the “traumatizing narcissist’s” need for control, describes the internal needs and developmental narrative of the traumatizing narcissist, the behaviors employed to subjugate his/her victim(s) and how to work with patients who are victims of this traumatizing abuse.
