At what age does narcissism take permanent hold?
The full fledged manifestation of pathological narcissism - the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) - can be diagnosed in early adolescence at the earliest. It is reversible if treated early on but becomes entrenched in adulthood. A child who has narcissistic traits, a narcissistic personality, or a narcissistic style - does NOT amount to having NPD.

How can a man deal with a narcissistic woman who has total control over the children?
I am personally in this circumstance myself. I found the above question as I was continuing my own research on the matter. Reviewing all of the research information that I have personally seen, I have only interpreted one answer to the question with two possible outcomes. Answer to the question: There is no way to deal with a narcissist. A true NPD is not going to change except for brief moments when they have something up their sleeve. The research that I have read all suggest one thing: if you are in a relationship with a NPD, "RUN!". I believe this to be sound advise; however, in my situation, I truly love and care for the children. I have already seen evidence that the NPD mother and NPD grandparents are having a bad influence on the children. I have also seen the children (one male and one female) finding me to be their safety net. I have been able to be at least some positive influence on the children. They are my stepchildren and therefore if I leave, I loose any and all chances of making a difference in their life. My only choses are to "RUN!" or to suffer through all the abuse that a NPD will put you through, for the children. If I choose the later, you can bet that on the day the youngest child leaves home, it will still be in my best interest to "RUN!". Meanwhile I am going to see if I can get myself and the children some type of therapy.
Does transient narcissism occur repeatedly?
It depends on the context. I have found that certain situations or people exacerbate the condition for individuals, who may or may not have been fully diagnosed with NPD. Although you could argue that 'transient narcissism' doesn't exist, and that it forever holds its grip. I believe that NPD sufferers are always looking for a mirror, and ways in which to project their feelings.

If you have four symptoms of NPD do you have NPD?
