Delivered by Dr. Kevin Fehin, this workshop will focus on providing participants with an understanding of narcissism, both traits and personality disorder.

The workshop aims to provide participants with an in-depth introduction to narcissism and to evidence based approaches to working with narcissism. The primary orientation of the workshop will be psychodynamic.

The workshop will explore the developmental dynamics that promote narcissism and the subsequent interpersonal dynamics that arise in adulthood. Topics such as narcissistic supply, ego fragility, shame, compensation, fantasy vs reality and the lack of mirroring so central to narcissism will be covered.

• A theoretical history of understanding narcissism
• The developmental and family dynamics that promote narcissistic traits
• An overview in evidence based interventions and relational dynamics essential to engaging with narcissistic disturbance 

Suitable for all mental health practitioners and those with an interest in narcissism and it’s impact on contemporary culture.
