This comprehensive book delves into the profound trauma experienced by individuals in relationships with narcissists, encompassing a wide range of topics such as surviving cults, dysfunctional families, political dysfunction, and power imbalances in workplaces and educational institutions. Authored by renowned psychoanalyst Daniel Shaw, this second edition builds upon the themes explored in his earlier work, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation. Shaw offers insightful reflections on the nature and behavior of traumatizing narcissists, their impact on their victims, and the specific tactics they employ to instill shame and fear in those they seek to control. Furthermore, this volume explores in depth the challenges faced by mental health professionals in effectively assisting those who have undergone narcissistic abuse. Drawing from a trauma-informed, relational psychoanalytic perspective, Shaw examines themes of attachment to internalized perpetrators, self-alienation, internalized aggression, and loss of faith in the value and meaning of life. This book is particularly enlightening and valuable for mental health professionals working with patients who are healing from complex relational trauma, as well as for individuals who have struggled with the persistent and often debilitating shame and fear that can result from such experiences.
