World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/world-narcissistic-abuse-awareness-day-june-1st/

World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness day is June 1st , and I would like to do a small review on some of the precursors to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. As much as we hate the damage caused by these abusers, narcissists are still people and they came from families that weren’t dissimilar to ours. Some of the causes are related to inheritance but there are many other early family experiences that contribute to this disorder.
