Masterclass Frank Yeomans

Individuals with narcissistic disorders possess a heightened vulnerability in the sense of self, for which the typical narcissistic presentation (e.g., grandiosity, exploitativeness, entitlement) compensates.

The grandiose self can be expressed overtly in self-aggrandizing behavior or covertly in grandiose beliefs and fantasies that the individual is too shame ridden to reveal. The difficulty in tolerating interpretive work requires a degree of objectivity and reflection that pose significant technical challenges.

The class will discuss how to understand the psychological structure underlying narcissistic pathology and how to address it therapeutically."
