narcissist, writes Hall, violates our fundamental rights of dignity, integrity,
and personal freedoms, made worse because the narcissist is usually someone
close to the abused. All libraries, in particular university collections supporting
mental health and psychiatry curriculum, will find this a worthy addition.”—Library Journal, starred review“There is a wealth of information here.
