Craig Malkin
Rather than rattle off my credentials, which you can easily find on my website, I’d rather tell you the story behind why I wrote Rethinking Narcissism. People need help– desperately. They’re lost, surrounded by empty caricatures and fear mongering when it comes to any discussions of narcissism.

And I’m dismayed by the confusing and misleading information that seems to have exploded onto the scene in the last decade. As a clinical psychologist with over 25 years helping people cope with variety of problems, inclu
