” Unfortunately that will not do any good. There is no resolution for that level of DSM-IV-TR = 301.81, Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Typically, as narcissism is an ingrained personality trait, rather than a chemical imbalance, medication and therapy are not very effective in treating the disorder. Schema Therapy, a form of therapy developed by Jeffrey E. Young that integrates several therapeutic approaches (psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral etc.), also offers an approach for the treatment of NPD.
It is unusual for people to seek therapy for NPD. Subconscious fears of exposure or inadequacy often cause defensive disdain of therapeutic processes. Pharmacotherapy is rarely effective. In the specific instance of The Øne there are so many levels of insulation from reality that are acting as enablers that any therapy is highly unlikely.
My personal opinion is he will appear to get better but that will only be an act as he learns how he is “supposed” to appear. As reality penetrates the levels of insulation the stress will take it’s usual course and eventually he will crumble. It is what he does at THAT point that is of real concern. “

Something like that was my main worry about a Hillary Clinton presidency. I feared with her as president, were we to take a 9-11 type hit she would go berserk and throw ashtrays because she would feel betrayed by the ones she considered to be her natural supporters. She would do what she does in such occasions but the ashtrays would be ICBMs.
