According to the late Alexander Lowen, a psychologist who wrote the book “Narcissism,” there are five different types of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Understanding these types may help you to identify the narcissist in your life, or even narcissistic characteristics within your own personality structure.
Lowen noticed the growing trend of our society toward narcissism with each generation showing more narcissism. He made the connection between the lack of “feeling” and the degree one suffers from narcissistic personality disorder. The more one is able to actually “feel his or her feelings,” the less narcissistic her or she is.
The narcissism in our society has reached epidemic proportions and understanding narcissism helps us to recognize the malignancy in our emotional repression, as a whole.
