Examples Of Narcissistic Father

Children have a lot to say and parents have to remember to stop and listen to their child and then maybe offer suggestions and ideals. Recognize how the child feels and acknowledge the flaws the child has. Nobody is perfect. Realizing the imperfections of the child helps a parent better understand the type of encouragement and guidance the child might need to become a more productive adolescent.

Dr Wilson book Hurt people hurt people; premise is as simple as the book’s title. She shows how the process of hurting others is a cycle in that; “All of us have been hurt by people who all were hurt by other hurt people. In turn we-as hurt people-all have hurt other people to one degree or another” (Wilson, 2001). She also states that individuals learn child-like solutions to such issues as “trust, identity, and attachment” where become rooted in an individual because of binding shame (Wilson. 2001) .Sadly many children have to learn to act in a defensive or dysfunctional way to survive the abuse at the hand of their family. Parents that tend to abuse where abused themselves and never got the needed emotional healing. Even though

A prime poster boy for narcissistic personality disorder subject H was a middle aged Iranian man in the midst of drug rehabilitation. It is common for people with NPD to become dependent on substances due to their necessity to cope with inadequacy.(Donaldson-Pressman, The Narcissistic Family 1994) Like many people with NPD he was very handsome and held a demanding presence.(DSM) H’s symptoms were first noticed by his therapist during a group talk session. H was noted to recount stories of vicious spousal abuse (throwing his ex-wife out of a moving car in rage) and robberies he committed against family members at gunpoint, with a sense of pride and content. H’s therapist decided to see how he interacted with his parents in order to develop a better diagnosis. His therapist Stras describes the session:

I am open to any other suggestions you may have. She spends 3 weekends a month with her dad and I have no control over what happens when she is with him.

Last weekend I watched the movie Mommie Dearest a biographical film, depicting the life of the celebrated glamour star Joan Crawford. The film was an adaptation of the exposé written by her adopted daughter Christina Crawford. This movie is mainly about the dysfunctional relationship between a perfectionist mother and her adopted daughter. It is also a story about ageism at a time when the fantasy of Hollywood glamour was being sold and aging actresses were put out to pasture so to speak. When Joan realizes that her popularity and success are in a downswing her life begins to unravel. As she is forced to face the realities of life she descends into a world of alcoholism and abusive behavior (Perry, Jr.).

When Coelho included a different version of the story, Narcissus, in the prologue, he hinted that one of the themes in the Alchemist would be man’s relationship with nature. This was his way of introducing the concept that "all things are the manifestation of one thing only.” And that when we recognize that and begin to work with nature, that we will achieve great things. The lake, which Coelho wrote about, in the Narcissus story supports this by saying, “I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.” After reading the book I came to believe that there is an element of narcissism in following one's own

It’s a hard question since his Father and Mother want to love him but he is a very complicated person to deal with. You can’t always tolerate the problems but you should atleast try to look for more help maybe instead of (his mother) leaving the problem or his father bottling up all the anger and hate and take it out on the boy + the lies.

     The hospitalization of patients with severe Narcissistic Personality occurs frequently. Hospitalizations should be brief, and the treatment specific to the particular symptom involved. Another group of patients for whom hospitalization is indicated, provided long-term residential treatment, are those who have poor motivation for outpatient treatment, fragile relationships, destructive acting out, and fast paced life-styles. An inpatient program can offer an intensive treatment which includes individual psychotherapy, family involvement, and a specialized environment. The structure is physically and emotionally secure enough to keep a patient with severe ego weakness throughout the course of expressive, conflict-solving psychotherapy.

We have all been a spectator at some point. A witness to the obnoxious, overbearing father screaming at his son when he strikes out swinging. Or the arrogant, back-stabbing mother pressuring her daughter to come out on top at all costs. We have caught a glimpse of the look in their eyes. The look of determination backed by a selfish need to live vicariously through their child. Their competitiveness is an obsession, causing them to glaze over the well being of their child with their eye only on the prize. The parent is driven by narcissism, damaging their child in the process. The child often grows up with low self-esteem with a boatload of psychological issues. There have been dozens of studies done on the damage that occurs on a child. But,

Occasionally Gemma forgets the rules at home or at school or has an accident (such as knocking something over at the store). I remind Gemma of the rules and warn of her of the risky behavior such as climbing too high and let her decide if she wants to continue to misbehave or behave. If she continues to misbehave then time out. Another is example is when we were at a restaurant. Gemma is still having problems behaving properly all the way through a meal at a fast food restaurant. She sometimes climbs under the table, or starts complaining loudly that she wants to leave. I respond by telling her in advance what you expect, and the kind of reward she will get if she behaves well. I don’t think my parenting has necessarily changed because Gemma is still young and needs as much attention and care as possible. I am Hispanic, Hispanic parents typically spend much time with their children and both parents are warm and sensitive (401). I would say I base my parenting skills of of being sensitive and warm because I don’t want to tramatize Gemma with fear and bitterness.

A fixed mindset is when someone believes the abilities you are born with are the ones you will always have, and they cannot be changed. Children who possess a fixed mindset are likely to attribute their success to pure luck and their failures to ability or lack thereof. This is also known as learned helplessness. Children with a growth mindset, however, have a contrasting perspective. They believe abilities can be improved over time with an input of effort. They attribute their success to their abilities and their failures to variables that can be easily altered. As I have mentioned in the past, I fall under the authoritative parenting style. Because an authoritative parenting style is firm but caring and encouraging, I have cultivated a growth

To be specific on a certain type of people who has a NPD are narcissistic parents. Narcissistic parents fall into two type of categories which damage their children. There is engulfing parents which mean the parents are overly protective of their child and will ignore their child’s age where there are no boundaries between themselves and the child. This causes the child to be pushed away from the parent or parents into not feeling trusted. For example the parent will go through emails or text messages. Ignoring parents ignore their child and doesn’t care or share interest in their child which makes the child grow up to feel unwanted or cared for.

When I was about five to seven years old, I recall receiving a trophy at the end of every soccer season. What’s the problem? I’ll admit it. I did absolutely nothing worthy of an award. Now I realize that trophies don’t hold any sort of value nowadays. Now when trophies are being handed out to everyone, they lose their importance and can even cause problems in children.

It’s really how you approach your child that makes him a better person. For some parents, they like to pamper their children because they are afraid they might hurt or injure their child. Which might be the reason why they are screaming in public places and love to throw tantrums. Which can also lead to unsuspected behavior in the future. “Kids who grew up with “tough love” parents were twice as likely to become empathetic, more determined in the face of difficulty, and better at controlling their emotions and avoiding temptation, by the age of five, then those with “disengaged” carers” (Wardrop.)

In Summers & Summers (2006) article “Unadulterated Arrogance: Autopsy of the Narcissistic Parental Alienator” mentions that the beginning symptoms of the onset of Narcissistic Disorder typically begins during infancy, childhood, or early adolescence. Although there exist many specialists that believe that it is more than likely “attributed to psychological childhood abuse and trauma inflicted by parents, family, or other authority figures”. Individuals with NPD are known to “display snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes” (American Psychiatric Association, 1994, p. 659) towards others.
