If some of you want to expand your readings on narcissism here is a link with resources:

http://www.controllingparents.com/links.htm

All the listed books have links to amazon where you can read reviews, some pages of the books, etc and check if it might be helpful.  I found the link through the book Controlling Parents, which I'm currently reading.

The recommended books in QFS on narcissism/trauma are listed there (except for Myth of Sanity and Unholy Hungers).  The QFS list is the priority and the basic reading on the subject because it has proved to be quite useful, but sometimes and for some of us, it might be helpful to read other stuff too.

Here are some of the books listed about unhealthy narcissism:

Why Is It Always About You? Saving Yourself from the Narcissists in Your Life  Sandy Hotchkiss, 2002

Trapped in the Mirror: Adult Children of Narcissists in Their Struggle for Self  Elan Golomb, 1992

The Narcissistic Family: Diagnosis and Treatment  Stephanie Donaldson-Pressman and Robert Pressman, 1997

Children of the Self-Absorbed: A Grown-up's Guide to Getting Over Narcissistic Parents  Nina Brown, 2001

The Destructive Narcissistic Pattern  Nina Brown, 1998

The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self  Alice Miller, 1996

If You Had Controlling Parents: How to Make Peace with Your Past and Take Your Place in the World  Dan Neuharth, 1999
I read most of them except for Nina Brown's book which I have and checked and so far I found them all very useful to get a grasp in the subject that could be useful in a daily basis.  My all time favorite is Trapped in the Mirror, probably because it was the first one I read on the subject and probably because I love the author's style Wink
