About This Course

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is gaining attention amidst what experts are labeling a "narcissism epidemic." Recent studies indicate that up to 6.2% of the U.S. population meets the criteria for NPD. Even more concerning is the prevalence of subclinical narcissism, affecting an estimated 10%-15% of the population — equivalent to approximately 33-50 million people displaying these traits. This course delves into how societal changes have contributed to the rise of narcissistic behaviors, examining both clinical and subclinical levels. Participants will explore the complex etiology of NPD, identify assessment tools and review evidence-based treatment strategies. Additionally, the course will address the unique challenges clinicians face, such as navigating clients' grandiosity and resistance to change, providing professionals with practical skills to implement effective interventions in today's increasingly self-focused society.

Learning Objectives: 

• Define narcissistic personality traits at clinical and subclinical levels.
• Describe the etiology of and contributing factors to narcissistic personality disorder.
• Identify assessment tools for evaluating narcissistic traits.
• Discuss challenges and best practices for working with individuals exhibiting problematic narcissistic traits.
