On the surface, narcissists can appear decent or cooperative, but that falls apart when tension and anger arise inside relationships.  Dr. Les Carter explains how narcissists carry many internal, dysfunctional patterns that show up in moments of conflict, so it is essential to know what you are up against.  Pulling back the curtain, he explains how to interpret a narcissist's blustery, non-cooperative moods so you don't make the mistake of assuming responsibly for their mismanagement of anger.
