PERSONALITY SYNDROMES & MALIGNANT NARCISSISM — "THE TALKING CURE WITH DR. D" PODCAST (Episode 20)

The 20th episode of Dr. Deussing's podcast — "THE TALKING CURE with DR. D" — featured his THERAPY READING GROUP discussing Dr. Jonathan Shedler's brilliant article: "THE PERSONALITY SYNDROMES." Among the topics discussed were: (a) how #personality syndromes exist on a spectrum from healthy functioning to severely disturbed, (b) how comprehending personality syndromes requires an understanding of inner conflicts, defenses & motives, (c) the dialectic of art vs. science in treating various personality presentations, (d) how each personality syndrome is a distinct pathway to depression & requires a different treatment focus, (e) the importance of distinguishing normative narcissism from malignant narcissism, and (f) the advantages of marrying #psychology & #sociology. 🤔

The THERAPY READING GROUP & "THE TALKING CURE with DR. D" podcast are sponsored by Integrative DBT & Psychotherapy LLC. 💚
