SIMON & SCHUSTER
Are you a narcissist? Do you know someone who is? Contrary to
popular belief, narcissists do not love themselves, or anyone else.
They are people who cannot accept their true selves, constructing
instead a fixed mask that hides emotional numbness - an inability to
feel. In this groundbreaking study, Dr Alexander Lowen, a world-
renowned psychoanalyst, uses his extensive clinical experience to
demonstrate ho feelings can be restored and the integrity of the self
regained.
