Being a parent is usually all about giving of yourself to foster your child's growth and development. But what happens when this isn't the case? This book offers definitions of narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder to help readers identify the extent of their parent's problem.

People with narcissistic behaviours and attitudes boast and brag constantly, take credit for other people's work, expect favours but return few or none, and never listen. They devalue others, micromanage, are hypercritical and mistrustful. This book provides methods for people to cope with a near-narcissist or a narcissistic person.

Focusing on theory and therapeutic factors and applications, this work will provide group leaders and counselors working with children with a conceptual basis and specific strategies for use in therapy, counseling, and therapeutic groups.

Forming the group, leader characteristics, and the expression of feelings and emotions are emphasized by the author. This work will be of interest to all mental health professionals working with children--school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and psychiatrists.
