Narcissistic Personality Disorder Explained: Overlays, States & Why Types Don’t Exist?!

Описание: ⚠️NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER⚠️
Most people talk about narcissistic personality disorder as if it were a fixed type.
It isn’t!

In this in-depth excerpt, Sam Vaknin explains why all Cluster B personality disorders — narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, and antisocial — are best understood as one underlying personality disorder with shifting overlays and states.

You’ll discover:
• Why narcissists, borderlines, psychopaths, and histrionics share the same core pathology
• How people transition between overlays under stress, anxiety, or threat of abandonment
• The three states present in every overlay: overt (classic), covert, and collapsed
• Why covert narcissism is not a “type”, but the outcome of failure and collapse
• What really triggers personality state shifts: the Reality Gap & Narcissistic Mortification
• Why most online content about covert narcissists is clinically wrong

This video also presents the only clinically reliable description of covert narcissism, based on the original 1989 research by Akhtar & Cooper, rather than internet myths.

⚠️ This is not pop psychology.
⚠️ This is not relationship coaching.
This is structural personality theory, explained clearly and unapologetically.
