Would a narcissist say that they arent deserving of love?
Recent, very surprising, research shows that narcissists sometimes are ego dystonic. Mostly they don't care about it, they consider it part of their uniqueness. But many narcissists do develop permanent "ego-dystony" (in human-speak: they constantly feel bad about themselves and their behaviour). When in such a mood of self-doubt, the narcissist is likely to utter things like "you deserve better" and "I can never please anyone". But these proclamations are meant to TEST the narcissist's closest, nearest, or dearest. Will they abandon/humiliate/betray him once they discover his true face?
How are BASC-2 scores classified?
The BASC-2 provides T-scores with a mean of 50, with a standard deviation of 10.For the clinical scales, high scores mean more problems:T-score of 70+ indicates clinically significant problems; 60-69 means "at risk" of developing clinically significant problems; 41-59 indicates average responses that are indicative of normal behaviour; 31-40 indicates a low level of maladaptive behaviour/problems; < or = to 30 means very low levels of maladaptive behaviour/problems.For the adaptive scales, low scores mean more problems:T-score of 30 and below indicates clinically significant problems/maladaptive behaviour; 31-40 means "at risk" of developing clinically significant problems/maladaptive behaviour; 41-59 indicates average responses that are indicative of normal adaptive behaviour; 60-69 indicates a high level of adaptive behaviour; < or = to 30 means very high levels of adaptive behaviour.

Why did the narcissist choice you as his target?
Narcissists usually will pick someone with a good nature, someone that is kind and empathetic. They also zero in on a person who is needy. Such a person will forgive the narcissist for their abuse and permit the narcissist to manipulate and control them.Co-dependent individuals are prime meat for a narcissist. Such individuals will stay in an abusive relationship long after anyone else would've left. The co-dependent individual will blame themselves for a lot of the problems in the relationship and feel they cannot survive without the narcissist, allowing the narcissist to extract narcissistic supply from them through abuse and extracting idealisation from them.Self confident and strong willed individuals are not preferred by narcissists as these type of people will challenge the narcissists bad behaviour and not permit the narcissist to get away with their abusive and exploitative ways.Further, those with few friends, who come from troubled backgrounds are preferred by narcissists. These individuals are the most vulnerable to narcissistic abuse and manipulation and provide a steady stream of narcissistic supply.
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.
Are narcissists extremely immature emotionally and do they become very angry when you tell them that they are selfish and then fly into a rage and refuse to let you speak?
Emotonal immaturity is one of the hallmarks of narcissism, so one should expect infantile behaviour including extreme selfishness and spectacular tantrums. The narcissist refuses to grow up emotionally. They seem to get a kick out their immaturity. Yes! Besides "selfish" another term that sends them into a rage is "self-centered."

Why would a narcissist say they have been seeing other women but when he is with others he misses you?
A Narcissist needs sources of narcissistic supply - adoration and attention to help him feel that he is superior/of worth. If you are in a realtionship with a narcissist, you fulfill this function for him for a while, but once he feels that you no longer do this for him (usually because you have been so devalued by him you cannot make him feel that way as much as he needs, and the fact that narcissists fear and despise intimacy), he will turn to other sources as well to maintain the "high" of positive regard. However, despite the fact that he is seeing others, he may say he misses you so as to make sure he keeps all available sources of supply open to him, just in case.You have become the "safe bet". His statements of missing you are an attempt to manipulate you into being there for him when needed. Something he is probably very adept at. He cannot live without having someone to give him a sense of self - something he cannot do alone. He will not be able to fully understand that doing this is wrong, confusing to you and hurtful, because he simply cannot be empathic or compassionate, it is all about him and the way he feels. Unfortunately, there is very little chance this behaviour will change, Narcissistic Personality Disorder can be quite a severe and enduring disorder, often with a lifetime prevalence. There are a lot of good resources on the web that explain narcissism, its drives and consequences on those who have been involved with narcissists. Here is a link that I found very instructive and comprehensive when trying to understand the narcissist: http://www.drirene.com/1_nar.htm
