Review: Malignant Self Love

I discovered Malignant Self Love while doing a search on domestic violence, abuse, and characteristics of abusers. When I read the online parts of Sam Vaknin's book, I froze. I thought he was specifically talking about my abuser.

His book is about the narcissist and it explains everything you need to know about one. The part of particular interest to me was how he describes the process of defeating the narcissist. The strategy is excellent, although it requires massive strength to engage in this type of intellectual and emotionally draining warfare.

The vocabulary in the book can be a bit overwhelming and the print is very small. It feels like it would take forever to read it. By the way, I haven't finished it myself. But it started me off on my journey of admitting that I was a survivor, and deciding to do something about it...it empowered me.
