Answer, This could be like hoping to see the forest for the trees. A true narcissist is the last person to admit this character flaw. Only with loved ones support and freinds pointing this out continuiosly or being faced with a crisis will might that changing their behavior will you start to see ian inprovement in the way they behave and treat others. I do think since narcissist"s are the last to see their owm problem. It seems that you have to have the patience of a saint to be with one. Good Luck and remember it is only because of their own LOW self esteem that they are like this ( usually hidden under a HUGE ego)

How do you diagnoise narcissism?
You see the pattern's of behavior and you make a diagnoses. Usually if you tell these patterns to a Dr. they will recognize it as narcissism because the narcissist will never admit that they truly are one.
What is a narcissist's greatest fear?
A narcissists greatest fear is to be all alone in their life, with no one to control or belittle. Not until then does the narcissist truly understand that they are in fact worth Less than other people. Since they are empty shallow people, they need to be filled up by others. So solitude is their absolute greatest fear..
What should you do if your wife thinks you are verbally abusive and a narcissist?
Go to a therapist and get a second opinion. The wife shouldn't diagnose and if you truly have this problem, then a therapist can help. If not, then a therapist can help her. Go together for at least one visit.
What approach will do to a client with of narcissistic personality disorder?
Cbt approach in terms of looking at safety behaviours/ defenses would be useful. The narcissist would need to have some insight and willing to change as with any therapeutic approach. The therapist would need to be very boundaried and not open to manipulation. Session homework should be contacted in. Where there are long term issues of childhood the narcissist may wish to explore psychotherapy although at some point they will need to be willing to change and narcissists often don't want to change. (Why would anyone if they get immediate gratification and addiction fed). However, for those narcissists that acknowledge the pain they put others through and want some continuity in their lives, therapy is an option. Even more so, the victims of narcissist abuse need help through the post trauma of the narcissist abandonment, and to learn to adhere to the no contact rule for their own sanity! The narcissist's return is never because they love you, no need to play detective, just accept you are one of many addictions, an object to play with until they start the cycle again. If you have emotions you won't be able to stay in a relationship with a narcissist. As Sam Vaknin has said, mirror the narcissist, but to do that you have to be non- emotional and acknowledge that he projects his own inadequacies onto you, blames you for the very things he does, plays on your guilt, lies and cheats. If you can avoid internalising this and give to the narcissist and have your own needs ignored, then you need to look at your self esteem. Do not lose yourself to a figment of your imagination, keep a journal of the narcissist behaviour, and move on. The narcissist will be hurt to see you move on, and happy as they have no control and that liberation will empower you.
How do you get to a narcissist?
The one one thing that makes them go crazy is to be ignored.
What traits would disprove that someone has narcissistic personality disorder?
It's difficult to prove a negative. If a narcissist finds out some of those characteristics, all he has to do is be a good actor. Not being a narcissist is the only quality one could have to prove one is not a narcissist. There is no act a person can perform or one thing a person can do that would prove once and for all that the person is not and never has been and never will be a narcissist. Yet all the same, if you are not a narcissist, other people will recognize this fact, just as if you are, that too will come to light. Empathy. Narcissist's do not posess it nor do they understand it.
Can a narcissist handle rejection?
No because rejection means you know who and what they really are and know all their true self. They think they are god and that one cannot live without them. They believe that you are the one who needs them, when in reality it is the other way around. Once a narcissist always a narcissist. They cannot change
What do you do if you have reached an impassse with your narcissistic spouse and they are prolonging the silent treatment toward you?
Go to counseling. Rejoice! And again I say, rejoice! There is no silence more golden than a narcissist's. To not have to hear that annoying voice! It is truly heaven. Let me tell you how things work with a narcissist. They come from opposite land in Bizarro universe. The only way to get a narcissist to be nice to you is to (paradoxically) treat them terribly by ignoring them entirely. If the narcissist is ignoring you, you must have done something awfully decent and nice to deserve this. Do you see the impossibility of ever successfully dealing with and having a relationship with such a person? I would say, take immediate advantage of the impasse and the resulting silence by leaving the narcissist. No matter what you do, never pay any attention to the narcissist again, and don't talk or call or write unless forced by law to do so. The narcissist will always think of you, in the Bizarro universe way, as a wonderful person and will crave your attention, which you will never give. Thus exacting justice on the narcissist while taking back your life. Too bad you have to be mean to show a narcissist how wonderful you are, but you didn't start this thing. You should be the one to end it, though.
