The Lonely and Recluse Narcissist: Comorbid Narcissistic and Schizoid Personality Disorders - Paperback

by Lidija Rangelovska (Editor), Sam Vaknin (Author)

Some narcissists are lone wolves, recluses, or hermits. They loathe human company and avoid it. All narcissists go through such phases of withdrawal, integral parts of their idealization-devaluation cycles (approach-avoidance repetition complex.) Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Schizoid Personality Disorder share the same aetiology, psychodynamics, traits (such as grandiosity) and behavior patterns.
