It is estimated that only about 1% of the population has diagnosable clinical narcissistic personality disorder. However, that doesn't mean those without a diagnosis may not engage in some form of narcissistic abuse or illegal behavior. Every one of us exhibits some basic traits of narcissism: Being self-focused, having a lack of empathy can lead to immediate danger. Only about half of the violent crimes that occur in the U.S. each year are reported to police. Most of the crimes reported don’t result in the arrest, charging and prosecution of a suspect.

What happens behind closed doors with narcissists can become extreme and is indirectly and positively associated with criminal behavior. These acts of behavior leading to aggression are us via identity integration and attributed to traits such as a lack self-control, grandiose narcissism, and identity aggression.

Moment for Parents:

One of the greatest traumas imaginable is when parents must deal with the separation of a child. Mostly by divorce or the state legislature. Producing greater stress than dealing with the relationship-loss of a parent or spouse, a child’s absence is especially traumatic because it is often unexpected; it is also in violation of the "usual" order of things, in which the child is expected to "flock" away from the parent and start college: a profession, area of study or just their own household.

The new nuclear American home has moments of fear for parents. And for those that have been through it, you know. The trauma associated with losing a child, whether to violence, disease, state custody or divorce, can certainly lead to devastating physical and mental health issues. In dealing with this loss, it is increasingly important to recognize the impact it can have on health and overall quality of life. [got a promo code? Email Us.
