Abstract

Alice Miller hypothesized that narcissistic disturbance predisposes individuals to become psychotherapists (1981). Raskin and Hairs Narcissistic Personality Inventory (1979) was administered to master's-level graduate students in the fields of counseling psychology, business, and educational computing. Neither the psychology group of 23 subjects nor the educational computing groupof 16 subjects scored significantly high in narcissism compared with Hall and Raskin's normative group of 721 subjects or with the business group of 19 subjects.
