Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Personality Psychology
  • Clinical Psychology

Context:

  • Narcissism is understood through a two-factor model distinguishing grandiose and vulnerable types in healthy individuals.
  • A three-factor model further refines these types using extroversion, antagonism, and neuroticism.
  • Both grandiose and vulnerable narcissism manifest in patients with narcissistic disturbances.

Purpose:

  • To explore the nuances of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism within personality psychology.
  • To examine the presentation of these narcissistic types in clinical settings, including Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD).
  • To discuss the diagnostic classification of vulnerable narcissism in current (DSM-5, ICD-10) and future (ICD-11) systems.

Summary:

  • Healthy individuals display grandiose or vulnerable narcissism, further detailed by personality factors like extroversion and neuroticism.
  • Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) in DSM-5 predominantly features grandiose narcissism, though underlying vulnerable traits exist.
  • Vulnerable narcissism, currently undiagnosable in DSM-5/ICD-10, is expected to be identifiable in ICD-11 via dimensional personality disorder concepts.

Impact:

  • Highlights the complexity of narcissism beyond the DSM-5's focus on grandiose features.
  • Suggests clinical implications for recognizing and potentially diagnosing vulnerable narcissism.
  • Informs future diagnostic frameworks, particularly ICD-11's dimensional approach to personality disorders.
