Summary
"Drawing from her 20 years' experience as a researcher and educator, Cynthia Zayn exposes the carefully constructed narratives of the narcissist, as well as the confusion and chaos often experienced by those unwittingly "playing their role." Her conversational style and non-clinical approach to explanation put readers at ease, allowing them to absorb new information with clarity and understanding. The book's format of extensive research and in-depth interviews is woven around real-life case studies, making it relatable to the reader. If you find yourself questioning relationships with narcissistic parents, partners, siblings, friends, or co-workers, you may very well find the answers within these pages. Narcissistic Lovers provides a revealing look at narcissists and their victims: Danger signals that your partner is a narcissist; How destructive influences of a narcissist affect a relationship; Insights into what draws victims to narcissists and what steps to take to escape"--Provided by publisher.
