Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a psychological condition characterized by an excessive preoccupation with oneself, a grandiose sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy towards others. Individuals with NPD often have an exaggerated sense of entitlement and believe they are special or unique. This disorder falls within the Cluster B personality disorders, which also include histrionic, borderline, and antisocial personality disorders.
The decision to begin therapy is a personal one, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer to when someone should start therapy. However, there are some common signs and situations that may indicate it is time to seek therapy.
Dear Friends,
TI is gifted with a range of great mental health therapists - those currently seeing patients (at low fees) as part of our advanced training track, those who have graduated from the program, and those that now teach, supervise and/or serve as directors in various capacities at the agency.
To this end, we are starting a new series - Dear Therapist? - to mine the wisdom and experience of these dedicated and talented professionals on trending mental health topics.
To start, we asked Delverlon Hall, Jason Kurtz, and Alan Steinberg to share thoughts on the emergence of Telehealth (virtual, digital) therapy during the pandemic, how this treatment compares and contrast to in-person care, and what they see in the future regarding these methodologies.
In our rapidly changing world, it is important for businesses of all types to be constantly adapting to their shifting environments. The events of the last year have made this clearer than ever before, as COVID-19 has forced businesses to fundamentally change how they operate and use technology.
In the realm of mental health work, this has mainly manifested in the move to telehealth instead of in-person counseling; however, it has also changed how counseling centers operate behind the scenes and interact with their clients. One of the newest members of the Training Institute’s Board of Trustees, Scott Cooper, is hoping to build on such changes to further bring TI into the modern age. By using lessons he’s learned through many years of working in the world of business, Mr. Cooper aims to improve the way the Institute uses technology to increase its effectiveness and impact on the community it serves.
