She also gives her top tips for building evidence for court in your communication with the narcissist, explains how to stick to your boundaries with the narcissist and explains the serious pitfalls of the family court and child arrangements orders.

In this episode personality disorder psychologist and psychotherapist,  Dr Elinor Greenberg, chats with  Dr Supriya McKenna (author of 'The Narcissist Trap - The Mind-Bending Pull of the Great Pretenders) about easy ways to spot a toxic date. Dr Greenberg's tips are particularly useful for anyone worried about being back in the dating arena after a narcissistic relationship. She describes a simple method involving counting the negative things said in the first hour of a first date, and another where you simply closely examine your date's behaviour in the very first 10 minutes of the date. She also explains how the different types of narcissist (the exhibitionist, devaluing and closet narcissists)  might give themselves away in these interactions.

In this episode internationally renowned clinical psychologist Dr Elinor Greenberg talks with  Dr Supriya McKenna about the various ways that Narcissists can convincingly present as being genuine when dating.  She gives the tip offs for each of her archetypes - the Detective, the Hunter, the Narcissistic Love Script, The Romantic, The Casanova and the Recycler. They talk about the idea of 'I-Thou' versus 'I-It' relationships - and how in all their relationships the narcissist views the other person merely as an object.

In this episode Dr Craig Malkin discusses his role in the NY times bestselling book "The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump", in which he broke down the behaviours  of pathological narcissism as exhibited by Mr Trump. We discuss how it is actually simpler for the spouse of a narcissist to recognise narcissism in their partner than for a clinician (who has very limited information). We also talk about mutual abuse and reactive abuse, about whether narcissists are conscious that they are narcissists, and about the dark tetrad of psychopathy, sadism, narcissism and machiavellianism. We also talk about the category of the Communal (altruistic) Narcissist, and how narcissists can move between the different categories as they become more and more driven to special and unique.

In this episode Dr Craig Malkin, psychology lecturer at Harvard Medical School and narcissism expert and psychologist explains the concept of the 'spectrum of narcissism', which he describes in his book, Rethinking Narcissism. He talks about 'healthy narcissism', and about those people who do not have enough of it (the 'Echoists'). We talk about the overlaps of this type with co-dependents, highly sensitive people, and empaths. Dr Malkin explains the importance of feeling one's anger when one is a victim of narcissistic abuse. We also talk about social media, and how this can have a part to play in some narcissistic individuals.
