I can't just put this aside. Much more needs to be known about narcissistic abuse and its consequences.” Author Karina van Dreemel did not hesitate for a moment after being inundated with responses to her book “Letter to a Narcissist”. She decided to publish a second book that provides an extensive explanation of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It also contains experience stories of others who had to deal with or are still dealing with narcissistic abuse. This book gives a clear picture of the conditions in which they lived and sometimes even still live today. Like Karina, the writers of these experience stories want to reach a wide audience. First of all, they want to inform fellow sufferers. In addition, it is a welcome contribution to the knowledge and skills of care providers, general practitioners, psychologists, therapists, youth care, police and judicial authorities, etc. It provides better insights so that responsible decisions can be made on that basis. For example, in the field of finding the right therapy, guaranteeing safety and tackling terror. After reading this book, you will look with different eyes from now on, observe better and recognize the signals more quickly and thus form a better picture of what is happening.
