According to the NYT today, narcissts are becoming an extinct species:
"Not that they face imminent extinction — it’s a fate much worse than that. They will still be around, but they will be ignored.
The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (due out in 2013, and known as DSM-5) has eliminated five of the 10 personality disorders that are listed in the current edition.
Narcissistic personality disorder is the most well-known of the five, and its absence has caused the most stir in professional circles."
This means that insurance companies won't have to cover treatment for narcissists, not that many seek treatment. But it undermines the damage they do, making them appear more normal than they are, and, I think, the reaction to them, less so. What do you all think??
