Covert, Women Narcissists Make It Into NEW DSM 5-TR

The new text revision (TR) of the DSM 5 includes several important changes:

1. Covert narcissism as well as malignant narcissism finally made it into the text;

2. The DSM 5-TR recognizes the parity between women and men in terms of NPD diagnoses;

3. Pathological narcissism is reframed as compensatory in nature, intended to offset deep feelings of inferiority, shame, failure, and inadequacy;

4. NPD is associated with depression, reactive to self-perception of failure.

But, unlike the ICD-11, the DSM 5-TR fails to transition fully from the categorical to the dimensional model of personality disorders and fails to embrace the emerging realization that all personality disorders are mere facets of one underlying condition, a single clinical entity.

Hopefully police and courts will be educated about narcissist disorder, domestic violence is a huge problem.coercive control laws needed drastically.

My soon to be ex wife of 20 years earned her Master’s in mental heath counseling 3 years ago and I do not have a master’s or even a bachelors degree. I barely graduated high school, but she is most definitely a covert narc. For years I was so so confused by her bizarre outlandish behavior, until I started stumbling on to this stuff. It’s brutal being on this side. My dream would be for her to be accountable, humble and honest with her family, few friends and all her guy friends. Tell them all how you lied about me being a monster of a father, husband and man. You had to make me a monster, because if I was a good dad, husband and human being, then what would that make you? It’s been a few months no contact now and I’m so so angry at her for what she did to me and our children.

I know 4 people that are 💯% narcissistic personality disorder, yet never got diagnosed with NPD, they never seek or been to a psychologist.

[AprilSunshine]

Fucking FINALLY! It's infuriating that I paid so much for my degree and studied under multiple PhDs for 4 years, yet never once heard of covert narcissism!

Thank you for your wisdom God bless you in all ways. I'm facing an entire group against me who have narcissistic personality disorder. Ive struggled to even be in the same room with them. I was placed in the centre of their smear campaign. I have been praying my way out of hell and studying them to avoid reacting to their poison or becoming like them out of resentment.

[MaciekRabizo]

Amazing material. Cant wait for antisocial :D I always insisted that its more like 6-8%, adding all the rest, no wonder B cluster is so common. Thank you Professor!

Dear Dr. Sam,
I direct everyone to you and your expertise on this crucial subject.
Humanity suffers for lack of wisdom.
The amount of dedication that you have on the subject is admirable and extensive. I found you 💖 on my computer about seven years ago and you changed my life for the better.
Educated me enough in a short period of time to get out of the narcissists life. For that I am extremely grateful!!!!
The world is lucky to have you here! Thank You!
Thank You! For all you have shared and I might add that your philanthropy is off the 🪝 hook!
Hope someday to be computer literate enough to speak with you .
I missed your last offer to do exactly that.
If you are going to offer again and you mention it in your videos I will be sure to find a way to get the opportunity to talk with you. I hardly ever miss your videos.
You saved my life!
Again, Thank you for being you! Respectfully,
Me

After being born from one, I am glad the information is in the DSM-5 (TR) finally.

[BlueSky-ffoy]

Thanks for keeping us abreast of things!😄

My narcissistic father always said “don’t ask, don’t tell” that was his policy in romantic relationships

[julesdrums]

Dude how did I just find you. How did you divine all of this insight. How literally

Alexithymia is mentioned only once in DSM-V [428 Sexual Dysfunctions]

Risk and Prognostic Factors
Temperamental. Neurotic personality traits may be associated with erectile problems in college students, and submissive personality traits may be associated with erectile problems in men age 40 years and older. Alexithymia (i.e., deficits in cognitive processing of emotions) is common in men diagnosed with “psychogenic” erectile dysfunction. Erectile problems are common in men diagnosed with depression and posttraumatic stress disorder.
Course modifiers. Risk factors for acquired erectile disorder include age, smoking tobacco, lack of physical exercise, diabetes, and decreased desire.

Alexithymia is not mentioned in DSM-V-TR

[beuller]

I like looking up your words. 😂
Never change!

[brianf]

So my sister made it into the DSM, great.

[tonrobert]

What page does it mention more women are diagnosed narcissistic personality disorder over men ?

[Puddgal]

“Man is a river, man is in flux.” Poetic. Your closing comment re Medical business and DSM committee are priceless. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

[brianjarrard]

Bout damn time… they are the most destructive force on Earth

[bobrijs]

I may have a nice suggestion since science doesn't sum up some topics completely.
Then this is a nice topic where you can put your name in a complete version, with a Hierarchy Diagram, etc.
The defense mechanisms are not complete because the psychotic defense mechanisms are not involved and are therefore not complete.

That has a lot to do with Traumatized Right Hemisphere and the inability to Mentalize, which is an unconscious process that has stagnated, Alexithymia, Disgust Sensitivity, Impulsivity, and perhaps most importantly it is linked to Reactive Aggression/Affective Violence and Proactive Aggression/Predatory Violence, Abuse, Maltreatment, Deprivation, Childhood Adversity, (Parental) Coercive Control, (Parental) Intimate Terrorism, Aggression Scale, Anger Scale, Hostility Scale, Maladaptive Behavior Scale, Maybe extend it with other survival strategies & survival mechanisms with a destructive impact on relationships and young children, like double binds, Cognitive Distortions, Hostile Attribution Bias, and the transgenerational transmission in the child development, Insecure Attachment (intense disorganization and insecurity, attachment parenting styles), Parentification, Basic Mistrust, Parental Alienation, Folie A Deux, (Complex) Posttraumatic Stress Disorders, etc.

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), along with related terms such as childhood trauma and maltreatment, refer to a range of negative childhood experiences childhood trauma, and adversity as all forms of physical and emotional abuse, neglect, or exploitation that result in actual or potential harm to a child. ACEs may include but are not limited to, physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, bullying, parental death or loss, neglect, and poverty.

Projective Identification, Unconscious Communication, and the Right Brain

Right brain in emotional communications can offer us a deeper understanding of the mechanism of affective communications within projective identification.

I'm at the 30 minute mark and seems like you've described the most attention seeking personalities on social media. I have several of your videos in separate tabs on the subject of social media and curious if you will discuss whether social media is a tool for those with existing personality disorders, or if those who grew up on social media has lead to personality disorders. An analogy would be trauma-based disorders like PTSD would not exist in a world without trauma, would that lead to some disorders that did not exist before social media? One example is the 'mass sociogenic illness' recently appeared with followers replicating disorders (tiktok users imitating tourettes or DID) - or is this something that has always existed, for example salem witch trials?
