What happens when our most visible role models; measures of success; and cultural norms become a life of self-absorption, entitlement, achievement at all cost, and total disregard for others? What happens when life goals are all about me, my desires, my wishes, with little thought for altruism, compassion, and collaboration? This presentation takes a serious look at etiology, social norms, and clinical implications as well as strategies for reversing this dangerous trend.
Objectives
Participants will be able to:
- provide a working definition of narcissism
- explain the association of entitlement and narcissism
- describe the association between loneliness and narcissism
