Narcissism and the Relational World is a comprehensive source of information about narcissism and its role in relationships. Herron depicts narcissism as a normal form of development and motivational force that may be expressed in both healthy and pathological ways. He discusses the development of the individual as a process involving the entire family and examines in great detail the narcissistic influence of parents on their children. He goes on to explore the role of narcissism in the development of psychological disorders and proposes that narcissism be used as on organizing principle for understanding motivation, development, and psychoanalytic interventions. Providing a review of the theories on narcissism as well as case studies dealing with the topic, Herron's study will be of interest to both academics and clinicians.
