Unless they lose it all (money,home,family etc..) or become severely disabled or have a true life changing religious experience (due to the above circumstances probably)- THEY WON'T ever be a normal person. I am very sorry to say that Narcissistic people will never be cured. They get much worse the older they get. I have spoken to several counselors who have tried treating them but they said it was nearly impossible since they twist everything around and do not believe thay are that way in the first place. The best advise is to stay clear of them all together. They are emotional vampires and will suck you dry and toss you out when you have no more supply to give them.
Narcissism Personality Disorder is a mental illness and you don't become normal from it - there is no such thing as normal when you are dealing with this. I don't think there is a cure for this illness and if you are involved with someone who suffers from narcisstic personality - get out!
Freud categorized primary narcissism as "loving oneself". We all have impulses to nourish ourselves and to protect ourselves from danger; these impulses are bound up with our desires, and we can't neatly seperate our sexual desires (directed at humans) from our inwardly directed desire to care for ourselves. Freud calls the basic, sexually charged desire directed at the self "primary" or "normal" narcissism. He contrasts primary narcissism with "secondary narcissism" which arises in pathological states such as schizophrenia in which the persons libido withdraws from objects in the world and produces megalomania. Secondary narcissism of the mentally ill is a magnified extreme manifestation of primary narcissism which exists in all individuals.
