My name is Sam and I intend to send your way, day in and day out
(except on weekends) - 3-5 articles daily.

We start on August 6 - when you will receive the first batch of
articles.

The aticles will deal with personality theories, personality
disorders, the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), pathological
narcissism, and cultural and societal manifestations of narcissism.

Many of you have been with me a long time now. Warm hello's your way!

In the meantime, here's some homework...:o))

Revisited" (ISBN: 8023833847) - here:

Most major mental health sites carry referral services organized by
region/state.

For a list of major mental health sites, go here:

http://dmoz.org

And select Health-Mental Health - Disorders or Mental Health -
Directories.

Please do not forget that only a qualified mental health diagnostician
can determine whether someone suffers from NPD and this, following
lengthy tests and personal interviews.

The narcissism website contains the equivalent of 1000 print pages
(please scroll down for links).
