Quando i genitori sono narcisisti: Guida alla guarigione familiare

The text analyzes the psychological dynamics of parental narcissism, describing how a parent affected by this disorder can compromise their children's emotional development. Author Sarah Davies illustrates the distinction between overt and covert narcissism, highlighting manipulative tactics such as gaslighting and the use of guilt to maintain family control. Dysfunctional roles assumed by family members, including the golden child and the scapegoat, are examined, which emerge as survival strategies in an environment devoid of empathy. The source serves as a guide to identifying toxic behaviors and emotional wounds resulting from a childhood marked by pathological egocentrism. Finally, the material proposes a healing process based on awareness, the establishment of healthy boundaries, and detachment from abusive parents.
