Practical CBT

An introduction to the main features of Narcissistic Personality Disorder  and its treatment from a psychotherapeutic perspective.

What is this webinar about?This introductory workshop assumes no prior knowledge of this complex and challenging disorder, and will provide an overview of the key issues and principles in understanding, supporting and treating this multifaceted condition.Individuals with Narcissistic Personality disorder are often though to be characterised by an inflated sense of their own importance, a severe need for excessive attention, praise and admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. However, the reality is often more complex with contemporary models acknowledging vulnerability and fragility. Equally, living with, or being an adult child of a narcissistic parent, can also be key features of some clients&#x27; distress. And what of the related phenomenon of the Echo Personality Disorder - what counselling interventions are possible in those cases?This interactive, skills-focused workshop will examine contemporary thinking and practice in relation to the treatment of Narcissism - and its consequences.

As a trainee therapist the session material was accesible and easy to follow. The session was very interesting and engaging, and taught me a lot about this personality, how to look at working with and the impact on others. Thankyou.
Really enjoyed the workshop on narcissism. I work in healthcare with people who have a personality disorder and I didn’t previously know much about narcissism in particular. Found it helpful for my work. Echoism as a concept is also fascinating.
