How to spot a real narcissist and the case of the missing family jewels

from Life Matters - Full program podcast · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

A grandiose sense of self importance, an intense need for admiration, an inflated sense of entitlement and a lack of empathy — these are the hallmarks of narcissistic personality disorder. In an era of toxic reality TV and mercurial political leaders, it can feel like we're surrounded by narcissists. Psychiatrist Steve Ellen explains what narcissism really means and why the label has become therapy-speak shorthand for any kind of selfish or entitled behaviour. When someone dies, splitting up their assets and sharing possessions among the family can be tricky — even when things are divided equally. The Aunties give advice to a listener who feels cheated out of their inheritance, after a relative gave away some of the family jewels.
