Book Reviews of Children of the Self-Absorbed: A Grown-up's Guide to Getting over Narcissistic Parents
Book Review: Quite Badly Written
Summary: 1 Stars
Due to the author's dry, convoluted, stuttering, distracting approach to the subject of narcissistic parents, I abandoned this book after 20 pages. As the word GUIDE is in the secondary title, the confusing wandering style full of unhelpful tangents in the first chapter made me close this book. The subject of narcissism is confusing enough, even if a pragmatic and succinct approach had been taken. The start of this book reads more like a research paper than a "guide" to anything. Not recommended.

Summary of Children of the Self-Absorbed: A Grown-up's Guide to Getting over Narcissistic Parents
Being a parent is usually all about giving of yourself to foster your child's growth and development. But what happens when this isn't the case? Some parents dismiss the needs of their children, asserting their own instead, demanding attention and reassurance from even very young children. This may especially be the case when a parent has narcissistic tendencies or narcissistic personality disorder. From the author of Working with the Self-Absorbed and Loving the Self-Absorbed, this major revision of a self-help classic offers a step-by-step approach to resolving conflict and building a meaningful relationship with a narcissistic parent.Children of the Self-Absorbed offers clear definitions of narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder to help you identify the extent of your parent's problem. You'll learn the different types of destructive narcissism and how to recognize their effects on relationships. With the aid of proven techniques, you'll discover that you're not helpless against your parent's behavior and that you needn't consider giving up on the relationship. Instead, realistic strategies and steps are suggested for learning to set mutually agreed upon behaviors that can help you fulfill your needs and expectations.
