"Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited," has written on the "roots of pedophilia" for the Psychology Resource Center online. It reads like a profile of Michael Jackson."

And Valknin should know. He is a self-professed narcissist. I read him when I was studying BPD. I had a very dear friend who was both borderline and narcissistic. I remember joking with the social worker and telling her I thanked God that my friend was borderline as it was the only thing that tempered the narcissism.

However, although I have not read this particular Valknin book, it needs pointing out that there is much more to pedophilia than simple narcissism.
