Narcissism is a mental disorder and the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's idealized self-image and attributes. The term originated from Greek mythology, where a young man named Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water. Narcissism or pathological self-absorption was first identified as a disorder in 1898 by Havelock Ellis[1] and featured in subsequent psychological models, e.g. in Freud's On Narcissism (1914). The American Psychiatric Association has listed the classification narcissistic personality disorder in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) since 1968, drawing on the historical concept of megalomania.

Relationships: Pain, recovery, healing, and moving forward. It's never easy. It's work from both parties. But what is the process if you've survived a relationship with a narcissistic sociopath? We sit down and have a conversation with a viewpoint from a dear friend. We are taken through a journey through her eyes.
