In this episode Narcissism expert Dr Supriya McKenna, UK solicitor Karin Walker and Clinical psychologist Dr Daksha Hirani discuss how common Narcissistic Personality Disorder is in the population, and why it might be on the increase. They talk about whether Narcissism is more prevalent in certain cultures and whether Narcissists can be 'cured' of their NPD. Dr Hirani cautions how some narcissists use therapy as a means to learn how to change their behaviour in order to escape detection. Finally, they discuss the tricky concept of whether narcissists are able to experience love.

Dr Supriya is an Amazon no 1 bestselling author in the subject of narcissism, and the author of the new books Narcissists in Divorce: From Love-Locked to Leaving  and The Narcissist Trap :The Mind-Bending Pull of the Great Pretenders.
