The Handbook of Narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder: Theoretical Approaches, Empirical Findings, and Treatments

Interest in narcissism has never been greater. Now, finally, we have a book that summarizes what we know on the topic, with an extremely comprehensive collection of 43 (!) chapters across all perspectives, from clinical to personality research to neuroscience. This book would be a fantastic choice for an advanced undergraduate seminar or a graduate class. It's both very rigorous and very thought-provoking, and is sure to lead to lots of discussion. It's a must-have for libraries, both university and public, as it brings together so much of the research in one book. Anyone doing research on narcissism or thinking about it should read this handbook -- it will save you enormous amounts of time in writing your introduction and seeing what research has already been done.

This book would also be an excellent choice for a lay reader who wants to understand more about narcissism and Narcissistic Personality Disorder. There's so much misinformation online and elsewhere, but this book is the definitive review of the research and theory and is very informative.

The chapters are also very readable, with lots of examples and an accessible style. The chapters are also fairly short, which also makes them easier to read and comprehend. It's still an academic book, with lots of references and research, but that's its strength as well -- you know you are getting information from the real experts on this topic. Overall, an excellent handbook.
