Obama/Narcissist Ping!
Even I can’t recommend reading my last overlong post but there are three links to other articles within it that you may want to check out. The first link is a page discussing possible causes of NPD. The second is a recent article (nov 6, 2009) about Baracks brother and father, and the last link is about Barack’s mother.
Thanks for the links. It’s easy to see how the ‘absent father/young identity-seeking mother’ dynamic could set someone on the path to personality disorder (especially combined with the presence of substitute father figures like Frank Marshall Davis).
