Wolf in Sheeps Clothing - Recognising the

Hallmarks of Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Presenter: Christine Louis de Canonville (B.B. Hons; MIACP; MTCI; MPNLP, CMH; CHyp.) is an Author, Psychotherapist, Supervisor, External Examiner, Lecturer, and specialist in Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS). She worked in the Trauma Unit of St. Brendan's psychiatric hospital, and has worked specifically with victims of narcissistic abuse both in her private practice and internationally for many years. She has developed an effective programme for working one-to-one with victims suffering from NVS, and also workshops for educating therapists and other health professionals in the whole spectrum of narcissistic abuse. Her recent book, The Three Faces of Evil; Unmasking the Full Spectrum of Narcissistic Abuse, sets out to address the shortfalls in a therapist's training so that they become better equipped to work with the victims of narcissistic abuse that present in the therapy room daily.

Workshop Outline:

10am - 11.30am A Brief Understanding of "Narcissism"? Examine the 9 DSM criteria for identifying a narcissistic personality? (1) Grandiosity, (2) Power, (3) Special, (4) Attention, (5) Entitlement (6) Exploitative, (7) a lack of Empathy, (8) Envy, (9) Arrogant and Haughty behaviours. Demonstrate why narcissistis need and crave "NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY"

11,30 - 12.00 Tea Break

12.00 - 1.30 Group Work: Do an analysis of two character sketch cases. Using 2 short case studies (as a group) we shall use "forensic psychology" to make a psychological profile and critical examination of two unknown individuals (Gerard & Gary). We shall be using the 9 DSM Criteria (learned earlier) to deduce whether these clients are displaying normal healthy narcissism, or adnormal pathological narcissism. Clearly this information becomes very important for knowing how to move forward in the therapeutic process with a client.

Training Level: All 

CPD certificates will be emailed to participants after attendance at the Workshop.
