Den tysta sabotören handlar om sårbar, även kallad dold, narcissism i arbetslivet – ett lågmält men djupt destruktivt beteendemönster som ofta missas eftersom det inte följer den klassiska bilden av maktmissbruk. Till skillnad från grandios narcissism söker den sårbara varianten sällan rampljuset. Den tar inte formell makt, men utövar inflytande ändå – genom relationer, subtil splittring, empati utan ansvar och ett språk som sällan går att citera eller dokumentera.Konsekvenserna blir arbetsplatser där tillit gradvis urholkas, kompetenta medarbetare börjar tvivla på sig själva, konflikter aldrig riktigt går att lösa och tystnad till slut ersätter trygghet. Boken visar varför dessa mönster så ofta förbises av chefer och HR, hur välmenande processer ibland förstärker problemet och varför det i grunden handlar om en organisatorisk risk – inte en personlig konflikt.Den tysta sabotören ger språk för det subtila, verktyg för att se mönster och mod att agera där det tidigare varit enklare att blunda. För ledare, HR, skyddsombud – och för alla som någon gång känt att något varit fel, men haft svårt att förklara varför.

Arroganta, självupptagna och känslokalla – så beskrivs ofta personer med narcissism. Men stämmer det? Störst, bäst och skörast beskriver vad narcissistiskt personlighetssyndrom faktiskt innebär och vad man idag vet om hur narcissism uppstår.
Psykiatern Peder Björling och psykologen Niki Sundström arbetar på en mottagning där man prövar nya sätt att behandla narcissistisk personlighetsproblematik. I Störst, bäst och skörast ger de en förståelse för narcissism inifrån, illustrerat med många exempel. De berättar om svårigheter att respektera andras gränser, ta kritik, vara sårbar och att själv inte alltid stå i centrum. Vilka mekanismer ligger bakom svårigheterna och varför blir relationer ofta så knepiga?
De beskriver även hur narcissism kan ta sig olika uttryck i ett spektrum från sunt självhävdande till så pass omfattande narcissistiska drag att det orsakar lidande och ställer till det i vardagen. Du får även kunskap att ha med dig då du möter eller står nära en person med narcissism.
Sagt om boken:
”Det här är en föredömligt skriven faktabok. Den är tydlig, lättläst och pedagogiskt upplagd där teorier varvas med fallbeskrivningar. Beskrivningen av narcissism är så informativ att det inte krävs några förkunskaper. Det är också fint att läsa en bok som beskriver begreppet narcissism med sådan respekt och en befrielse av skuld och skam kring diagnosen.”Anna Törnquist, Sokraten nr 3, 2025
”Författarna presenterar en angelägen bok som är välskriven, lättillgänglig och av stort intresse.”Björn Wrangsjö, Svensk Psykiatri nr 3, 2025
”I boken ger författarna en förståelse för narcissismen inifrån, illustrerat med många exempel. De beskriver även hur narcissism kan ta sig olika uttryck i ett spektrum från sunt självhävdande till patologisk narcissism. Varför blir nära relationer så problematiska? Ämnesinnehållet fångar på ett utmärkt sätt narcissismens problematik.” Helhetsbetyg 5/5.Margareta Fridstjerna, BTJ-häftet nr 10, 2025

When The Culture of Narcissism was first published in 1979, Christopher Lasch was hailed as a “biblical prophet” (Time). Lasch’s identification of narcissism as not only an individual ailment but also a burgeoning social epidemic was ground-breaking. His diagnosis of American culture is even more relevant today, predicting the limitless expansion of the anxious and grasping narcissistic self into every part of American life.

En av Norges mest kända författare, Aksel Sandemose, hade ett händelserikt liv, var mycket produktiv och nådde världsrykte framför allt genom två av sina böcker, En flykting korsar sitt spår och Varulven. Inte lika känt är att Sandemose var en mästare i att skildra ett speciellt personlighetsdrag, narcissism. Freud, psykoanalysens skapare, skriver jag tycker själv att det känns egendomligt att mina fallbeskrivningar har kommit att likna noveller och att de så att säga saknar den seriösa vetenskapens traditionella kännetecken. Jag måste trösta mig med att det inte så mycket beror på mina personliga preferenser utan snarare ligger i sakens natur; lokaldiagnostik och elektriska reaktioner har helt enkelt inte mycket att ge när det gäller hysteri, medan däremot en ingående skildring av de själsliga processerna, som man är van att finna i diktningen, faktiskt tillåter mig att vinna ett slags insikt i hysteriska sjukdomsförlopp. Sandemose visar här vägen.
Boken analyserar hur Sandemose i några av sina mest kända verk beskriver narcissistiska karaktärer. Boken diskuterar även hur Sandemose bygger en brygga mellan sitt eget liv och den litteratur han skapar.
Bo Sigrell är psykoanalytiker och professor i psykologi. Han har skrivit ett flertal böcker om psykologi och psykoterapi.

Relationer med narcissister är komplexa och kan kännas omöjliga att förstå sig på. Bekräftelse och värme växlas med kritik och kyla. En narcissist säger en sak men gör en annan och det som gällde igår gäller inte nödvändigtvis idag. Det är förvirrande, och i relationen tassar man ständigt på tå för att inte väcka den lättkränkta personens vrede. Narcissisten förmår inte sätta någon annan än sig själv i främsta rummet, inte ens sina egna barn. Det här får inte bara familjelivet att halta, det sänker självkänslan hos dig som partner och skadar barnen. Om du misstänker att din partner eller personen du har barn tillsammans med är narcissist har du förmodligen många frågor. Hur vet man egentligen om någon är narcissist? Går det att leva med någon som anser sig vara felfri? Hur kommunicerar man för att nå fram till någon som bara har sig själv och sitt eget bästa framför ögonen? Hur avväpnar man en person som ständigt vrider och vänder på sanningen, kränker och manipulerar? Och viktigast av allt – hur skyddar du dig själv och barnen? Perfekt på ytan, defekt inuti ger dig verktyg och strategier för att hantera relationen och skydda dig själv och era eventuella barn. Genom bokens många beskrivningar får du möjlighet att känna igen din egen livssituation. Lättillgängliga fakta varvas med handfasta råd kring hur du kan hantera olika situationer och svårigheter som relationen och föräldraskapet med en narcissist medför. Författaren skriver om egna erfarenheter men har också intervjuat medföräldrar och en psykolog som är expert på området. Författaren driver webbsidan www.giftigarelationer.com

These nineteen essays introduce the rich and until now largely unexplored tradition of women's experimental fiction in the twentieth century. The writers discussed here range from Gertrude Stein to Christine Brooke-Rose and include, among others, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, Jane Bowles, Marguerite Young, Eva Figes, Joyce Carol Oates, and Marguerite Duras. "Friedman and Fuchs demonstrate the breadth of their research, first in their introduction to the volume, in which they outline the history of the reception of women's experimental fiction, and analyze and categorize the work not only of the writers to whom essays are devoted but of a number of others, too; and second in an extensive and wonderfully useful bibliography."--Emma Kafalenos, The International Fiction Review "After an introduction that is practically itself a monograph, eighteen essayists (too many of them distinguished to allow an equitable sampling) take up three generations of post-modernists."--American Literature "The editors see this volume as part of the continuing feminist project of the 'recovery and foregrounding of women writers.'Friedman and Fuchs's substantive introduction excellently synthesizes the issues presented in the rest of the volume."--Patrick D. Murphy, Studies in the Humanities Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Den unge man som berättar om sitt betydelsefulla möte med sin idol, Woody Guthrie, beskriver det som en uppenbarelse, ett knytnävsslag, han drabbas som om han slängts tvärs över ett rum. Hans beskrivning är kroppslig, dramatisk, omvälvande som en förälskelse eller som vore det en omvändelse.
Vad är en idol? Var kommer begreppet ”narcissism” ifrån och hur kopplas det till idolskap? Hur får unga människor idoler? Varför får vi idoler?
I Idoldyrkan och narcissism i tonåren tar sig psykoanalytikerna Charlotta Björklind, Lena Teurnell och Bo Sigrell an begreppen narcissism och idolskap. Med hjälp av fallstudier undersöker författarna hur tonåringar kom i kontakt med de personer som kom att bli deras idoler: hur idolskapet började, vilka aspekter av idolen som gav tonåringarna tillfredsställelse och hur idolskapet kom att prägla deras liv, inte bara under tonåren utan även senare i livet. Författarna vänder och vrider på idoldyrkan som koncept, bland annat genom att intervjua artisten Andreas Johnson i egenskap av idol.
PRESENTATION:Charlotta Björklind, Lena Teurnell och Bo Sigrell är psykoanalytiker, forskare och författare. Lena Teurnell och Bo Sigrell är författare till ett antal psykoanalytiska verk, däribland Narcissism: jag, mig och mitt (Lind & Co, 2011). Charlotta Björklind är författare till flera antologier på Bokförlaget Daidalos respektive TankeKraft förlag.

Despite the growing cultural and empirical interest in narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder, therapists often feel confused and overwhelmed about how to help patients struggling with these problems. “Mentalization” refers to the ability to read, access, and reflect on mental states in oneself and other people. Research shows that people with narcissism can suffer from extreme difficulties mentalizing themselves and others, leading to instability in their mood, interpersonal relationships, and sense of self. Mentalization-based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism: A Handbook provides much needed guidance about how to effectively help patients suffering from narcissistic vulnerabilities. Mentalization-based treatment, or MBT, is an evidence-based therapy for patients with personality disorders, helping patients to reflect on mental states in themselves and others, resulting in significant improvements in everyday functioning.This book reviews the deficits in mentalizing associated with pathological narcissism, describes how to give the diagnosis of narcissism to patients, outlines how to structure therapy sessions, and offers step-by-step techniques about “what to do and say” when sitting with these patients. Utilizing vibrant case examples and verbatim scripts from actual psychotherapies, the authors explain how to address the most common clinical challenges associated with narcissism: disconnection from emotions; impairments in empathy; rigid thinking; monologues and intellectualization; unstable self-esteem; and tendencies to blame other people for disruptions in their relationships.

Filling a crucial gap in the clinical literature, this book provides a contemporary view of pathological narcissism and presents an innovative treatment approach. The preeminent authors explore the special challenges of treating patients--with narcissistic traits or narcissistic personality disorder--who retreat from reality into narcissistic grandiosity, thereby compromising their lives and relationships. Assessment procedures and therapeutic strategies have been adapted from transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP), a manualized, evidence-based treatment for borderline personality disorder. Rich case material illustrates how TFP-N enables the clinician to engage patients more deeply in therapy and help them overcome relationship and behavioral problems at different levels of severity. The volume integrates psychodynamic theory and research with findings from social cognition, attachment, and neurobiology.

There is much heated rhetoric about the widening gulf between Europe and America. According to the American right, Europeans are lazy, defeatist and irreligious, while Americans are entrepreneurial, optimistic, and pious. And according to Europeans, America is harsh, dominated by the market, crime-ridden, violent, and sharp-elbowed.But are the US and Europe so different? Peter Baldwin, one of the world's leading historians of comparative social policy, thinks not, and in this bracingly argued but remarkably informed polemic, he lays out how similar the two continents really are. Drawing on the latest evidence from sources such as the United Nations, the World Bank, IMF, and other international organizations, Baldwin offers a fascinating comparison of the United States and Europe, looking at the latest statistics on the economy, crime, health care, education and culture, religion, the environment, and much more. It is a book filled with surprising revelations. For most categories of crime, for instance, America is safe and peaceful by European standards. But the biggest surprise is that, though there are many differences between America and Europe, in almost all cases, these differences are no greater than the differences among European nations. Europe and the US are, in fact, part of a common, big-tent grouping. America is not Sweden, for sure. But nor is Italy Sweden, nor France, nor even Germany. And who says that Sweden is Europe? Anymore than Vermont is America?Writing with flair and armed with an impressive stock of evidence, Baldwin paints a truly eye-opening portrait of Europe and America. Anyone interested in American foreign relations--or simply curious about American and European society--will want to read this revelatory volume.

The subjects of this book are the subjects whose subjects are themselves.Narcissus so himself himself forsook,And died to kiss his shadow in the brook.In accusing the introspective Adonis of narcissistic self-absorption, Shakespeare's Venus employs a geminative construction - 'himself himself' - that provides a keynote for this study of Renaissance reflexive subjectivity. Through close analysis of a number of Shakespearean texts - including Venus and Adonis, Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and Othello - his book illustrates how radical self-reflection is expressed on the Renaissance page and stage, and how representations of the two seemingly extreme figures of the narcissist and self-slaughterer are indicative of early-modern attitudes to introspection. Encompassing a broad range of philosophical, theological, poetic, and dramatic texts, this study examines period descriptions of the early-modern subject characterised by the rhetoric of reciprocation and reflection. The narcissist and the self-slaughter provide models of dialogic but self-destructive identity where private interiority is articulated in terms of self-response, but where this geminative isolation is understood as self-defeating, both selfish and suicidal. The study includes work on Renaissance revisions of Ovid, classical attitudes to suicide, the rhetoric of friendship literature, discussion of early-modern optic theory, and an extended discussion of narcissism in the epyllia tradition. Sustained textual analysis offers new readings of major Shakespearean texts, allowing familiar works of literature to be seen from the unusual and anti-social perspectives of their narcissistic and suicidal protagonists.

On Narcissism: An Introduction is a densely packed essay dealing with ideas that are still being debated today - from the role of narcissism in normal and pathological development and the relationship of narcissism to homosexuality, libido, romantic love, and self-esteem to issues of therapeutic intervention. The contributors place the work in the context of Freud's evolving thinking, point out its innovations, review its problematic aspects, and examine how its theoretical concepts have been elaborated more recently by analysts of diverse theoretic persuasions. In addition, they use Freud's text to chart new developments in psychoanalysis and point toward still unresolved problems. An introduction by Joseph Sandler, Ethel Spector Person, and Peter Fonagy provides a succinct overview of the material. Contributors: Willy Baranger, David Bell, R. Horacio Etchegoyen, Peter Fonagy, Leon Grinberg, Bela Grunberger, Heinz Henseler, Otto F. Kernberg, Paul H. Ornstein, Ethel Spector Person, Joseph Sandler, Hanna Segal, Nikolaus Treurniet, Clifford Yorke

Practitioners of psychoanalysis find three central themes to be recurrent and ubiquitous in every analysis; firstly, issues around identity, the struggle to know the self, to understand the self and to be the self in an authentic way. Intricately entangled with self-identity is the problem of narcissism, essentially viewed as a defensive retreat to a mental state characterized by an unconscious belief in the special value of the self and the diminution of the Other. The motive for seeking psychoanalytic treatment is often to improve the quality of relationships with the Other, which is clearly jeopardized by narcissistic states; the person undergoing psychoanalysis might hope to re-discover a resilient self and a sense of personal identity, and to overcome narcissism sufficiently to be able to form relationships. However, there are a multitude of inherent anxieties involved in close and intimate relationships. As Freud pointed out, even in our most intimate relationships there is an element of hostility.

The notion of narcissism introduced by Sigmund Freud has become a victim of its own success. On the one hand, with its emphasis on self-love and new forms of well-being, it can take the form of a celebration of the self. On the other, with its range of negatively associated character traits, it has given rise to a burgeoning field of narcissistic pathologies. The Soul of Narcissism argues that both perspectives represent impoverished and superfluous forms of narcissism, obscuring the vibrant notion that Freud put in place in order to question the very heart of psychoanalytic practice. This book proceeds by examining Freud’s introduction of narcissism in its historical context as a movement of reflexion on the clinical practice of psychoanalysis, putting forward a close reading of Freud’s writings that led up to his seminal paper "On Narcissism: An Introduction". Against the trend of current perceptions, it re-establishes narcissism as a methodology of reflexion upon clinical practice and theory, whose very motor is the unconscious.In this way narcissism is restored to its fundamental place in psychoanalysis, rich with all of the life of the drives. This reinvigorated notion of narcissism will be of interest not just to students and practitioners of psychoanalysis, but also to all those who draw upon Freud’s study of narcissism.

Using psychodynamic theory and riveting case material, this book dissects the figure of the malignant narcissist leader (MNL). Across the world today, individuals and societies are impacted by unprecedented disruptive influences, from globalization and climate change to economic uncertainty and mass migration. The rise of populists and would-be saviors has promised certainty for anxious populations, but how far are such leaders suffering from the MNL pathology?Through the psychoanalytic lens of Otto Kernberg, the authors explain the etiology of the charismatic MNL’s clinical features: charisma, grandiosity, criminality, sadism, and paranoia. The book outlines the limitations and complexity of diagnosis, contextualizing the MNL within the transcendental and millenarian movements, and discusses the patho-dynamics of high-pressure groups and totalitarian regimes, including types of groups, methods of mind control, categories of constituents, the corporate totalitarian state, and the authoritarian demagogue. The book looks at a wide range of leaders including Donald Trump, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Roger Ailes, Keith Raniere, Jan of Leiden, and Credonia Mwerinde.Distinguishing the disordered personality of the MNL from other personality disorders, and presenting a new model of overlapping descriptors to categorize high-pressure group types and identifying types of followers as well, this book represents essential reading for psychodynamically minded psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, sociologists, political scientists, and those working in organizational development.

This book looks at the trauma suffered by those in relationships with narcissists, covering topics such as surviving a cult, dysfunctional families, political dysfunction, and imbalances of power in places of work and education.This new volume by author and psychoanalyst Daniel Shaw revisits themes from his first book, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation. Shaw offers further reflections on the character and behavior of the traumatizing narcissist, the impact such persons have on those they abuse and exploit and the specific ways in which they instill shame and fear in those they seek to control. In addition, this volume explores, with detailed clinical material, many of the challenges mental health professionals face in finding effective ways of helping those who have suffered narcissistic abuse. From within a trauma informed, relational psychoanalytic perspective, Shaw explores themes of attachment to internalized perpetrators, self-alienation, internalized aggression, and loss of faith in the value and meaning of being alive.This book will be especially illuminating and rewarding for mental health professionals engaged in helping patients heal and recover from complex relational trauma, and equally valuable to those individuals who have struggled with the tenacious, often crippling shame and fear that can be the result of relational trauma.
From Narcissism to Nihilism
Self-Love and Self-Negation in Early Modern Literature

This book explores how the myth of Narcissus, which is at once about self-love and self-destruction, desire and death, beauty and pain, became an ambivalent symbol of humanistic endeavour, and articulated the conflicts of early modern authorship.In early modern literature, there were expressions of humanistic self-congratulation that sometimes verged on narcissism, and at the same time expressions of self-doubt and anxiety that verged on nihilism. The themes of self-love and self-negation had a long history in western thought, and this book shows how the medieval treatments of the themes developed into something distinctive in the sixteenth century. The two themes, either individually or combined, encompass such topics as poverty, unrequited love, transgressive sexuality, sexual violence, suicidality, self-worth, authorship, religious penitence, martyrdom, courtly ambition and tyranny. Archdeacon uses over 100 texts from the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries to show how the early modern writer existed in a culture of contrary forces pulling towards either self-affirmation or self-erasure. Writers attempted to negotiate between the polarised extremes of self-love and self-negation, realising that they are fundamental to how we respond to each other, our selves and the world.
