Narcissistic personality disorder not only affects those affected, but also those around them. Narcissists are difficult to reach emotionally. Dr. Pablo Hagemeyer tries anyway.
Mr. Hagemeyer, you have been working with people who suffer from narcissistic personality disorder for a long time. How do you recognize that a narcissist is sitting in front of you?
Sometimes it’s not that easy to unmask them right away – but now I’m sure you can recognize narcissism by looking in their eyes. You can see whether the person develops an emotional transference or whether what is said bounces off the protective wall. The eyes of narcissists are often very jumpy and trying to control, and the expression is rigid. You notice that someone is trying to hide a lot – and then you see that an elderly child is sitting in front of you – and not an adult.
