The Traumatic Narcissism Theory with Daniel Shaw
Narcissism has been studied in psychoanalysis primarily with the intention of understanding and treating its pathological forms in individuals. The traumatic narcissism theory developed by Daniel Shaw differs in that it examines narcissism in the context of relationships, with particular focus on the kind of abusive relationship Shaw terms "the traumatizing narcissist's relational system of subjugation." The theory explains why and how the "traumatizing narcissist" needs to coercively control others, and describes the set of behaviors he deploys that are intended to promote and enforce his victim's submission, dissociation and self-negation. The clinical focus in traumatic narcissism theory is on helping these unduly influenced victims recover from traumatic subjugation. This presentation will describe clinical interventions that effectively help victims to emerge from dissociation and recover their health, strength and sense of self-worth.
