Learn your history, Learn your self

This book is forthright about the nature of co-dependent relationships. Taking care of the parents. How to identify the problem if it exists or existed in your life, and how to cope with it skillfully in the future.

It gives understanding and re-builds self-esteem.

Children of the Self-Absorbed

This book was suggested to me by a friend who is a psychologist as I was talking about issues within my family, primarily relating to my parents.I was very impressed that this book takes you through the steps of self-healing.It helps you realise that you have been mislead into believing you are an inadequate person who would not have amounted to anything worthwhile without the support & guidance of your parents.The books lists various catagories that one or both of your self-absorbed parents fall into and at the end of each chapter little exercises to help you overcome the power these people have had over you. You will regain your self-worth and feel that you can become the person that you and other members of the family, colleagues and friends know that you are - a normal well-adjusted functioning human being.

Excellent Starter for Self Evaluation

The book is written in simple language and therefore very accessible to those not familiar with the field of psychology. Additionally, the book is very interactive, forcing the reader to be invested in the book's content and therefore their own development. Nina Brown is knowledgeable and is able to relay her knowledge differently than most authors of psychological texts. I have read many texts on narcissism and honestly can say this is the best one in its breadth, accessibility, sophistication, and perspective.
My last comment is that, Dr. Brown is very straight forward. She introduces ideas that may be difficult to accept and investigate. As opposed to other authors in this field, she does not sympathize with the victim and the emotionally lazy. She asks that the reader take the content of the book and their own development seriously. This is ultimately helpful.

Being a parent is usually all about giving of yourself to foster your child's growth and development. But what happens when this isn't the case? Some parents dismiss the needs of their children, asserting their own instead, demanding attention and reassurance from even very young children. This may especially be the case when a parent has narcissistic tendencies or narcissistic personality disorder. From the author of Working with the Self-Absorbed and Loving the Self-Absorbed, this major revision of a self-help classic offers a step-by-step approach to resolving conflict and building a meaningful relationship with a narcissistic parent.

Children of the Self-Absorbed offers clear definitions of narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder to help you identify the extent of your parent's problem. You'll learn the different types of destructive narcissism and how to recognize their effects on relationships. With the aid of proven techniques, you'll discover that you're not helpless against your parent's behavior and that you needn't consider giving up on the relationship. Instead, realistic strategies and steps are suggested for learning to set mutually agreed upon behaviors that can help you fulfill your needs and expectations.
