For Conference Information, call (516) 627-3383 New York State Society for Clinical Social Work 42nd Annual Conference The Multiple Dimensions of Narcissism and How to Survive Them Saturday, May 7, 2011 Joan Lachkar, Ph.D. states that "The narcissist is the "entitlement lover," the self proclaimed special child of the universe. Narcissists have excessive entitlement fantasies and an exaggerated sense of self, with which they are entirely preoccupied. They believe the world "owes them," are obsessed with perfectionism, and have an “internalized, strongly-castrating superego.” Narcissists are intoxicated by their own power and are unable to use healthy aspects of narcissism because they lack the capacity for empathy and introspection. They strive relentlessly to prove their specialness." This conference will address various facets of Narcissism and optimal treatment approaches. *Joan Lachkar, Ph.D. The Narcissistic/Borderline Couple, New Approaches to Marital Therapy, Brunner-Routledge, N.Y.
