					<description><![CDATA[I had ended my series about Narcissism and then my old friend Kate Bornstein sent me this recent article from the New York Times. I felt it added something interesting not covered in any of the previous posts &#8212; a study that shows narcissists don&#8217;t change much over time. It adds up with the other [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; This is an interesting twist — at first glance altruism and narcissism seem completely contradictory. In my experience, both L. Ron Hubbard and David Miscavige displayed these traits: claiming to have pure intentions to help mankind, even requiring enormous personal sacrifice on their behalf, until it no longer forwarded their objective. Then it’s forgotten [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#160; This is an article written by Darius Cikanavicius on  the PsychCentral site. &#160; It&#8217;s no secret that a core narcissistic trait is the lack of empathy and care for others. However, people with strong narcissistic tendencies and other dark personality traits (hereafter narcissists) do sometimes act in a caring manner, or try to [&#8230;]]]></description>

This a piece written by Shahida Arabi, MA Fortunately, overt narcissists are usually easy to spot and hopefully easier to avoid investing in. Covert narcissists, on the other hand, present new challenges; they can appear meek, innocent, charitable, even [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[An article in Psychology Today highlights the traits of a narcissist &#8212; they are not dissimilar to the sociopath (See my earlier series of posts about the traits of the sociopath). &#160; I am not entirety certain whether cults attract narcissists who rise to the top of the hierarchy, or whether narcissists create cults &#8212; [&#8230;]]]></description>
