Abstract
Are you a narcissist? Do you know someone who is? Contrary to popular belief, narcissists do not love themselves, or anyone else. They are people who cannot accept their true selves, constructing instead a fixed mask that hides emotional numbness - an inability to feel. In this groundbreaking study, Dr Alexander Lowen, a world-renowned psychoanalyst, uses his extensive clinical experience to demonstrate ho feelings can be restored and the integrity of the self regained.
