Narcissism Vs. Narcissistic Traits – Part 1

We hear the term narcissist thrown around a lot these days. You hear your neighbor say her mother-in-law is a narcissistic. You hear your best friend say her ex-spouse is a narcissist. Perhaps you’ve heard your family member call his boss a narcissist. Rarely are any of these people given a professional diagnosis. It’s usually that someone read a book or an article online about narcissism and has deduced this person who is causing them problems is a narcissist.

I see this so much, that I decided to interview psychotherapist, Dr. Linda Miles about the difference between narcissism and narcissistic traits.  In this segment of our interview, Dr. Miles talks about the difference between a diagnosis of narcissism versus narcissistic traits. Are people being mis-labeled and “diagnosed” as narcissists by amateurs? Is there such a thing as healthy narcissism?
