Diana Diamond explains the connection between attachment styles and narcissistic pathology. There are two types of insecure attachment (dismissing avoidant & ambivalent preoccupied) that seem to go hand in hand with the two different presentations of narcissistic pathology (grandiose & vulnerable).
