| Malignant Narcissism~ NO LONGER RECOMMENDED | One of S. Vaknin's multitudinous sites. He is a self-proclaimed "malignant narcissist". Insight into the inner life of one N, but unfortunately distorts too much about NPD to be credible. A caveat. Mr. Vaknin's Ph.D. is not in psychology [In fact, I just learned it is from a diploma mill.]. Please remember that the narcissist's worldview is aligned with his disorder. Mr. Vaknin pathologises the target/victim as may his followers by proxy ("followers by proxy" are defined as those who maintain BBs and Support Groups whose posted quotes by SV dominate their sites and other sites where they post). More here: NarcissismInAction1,2,3 ).. If that is your cup of tea then "Suite 101" MB (one of Mr. Vaknin's links)is for you. I speak from experience. I do not recommend any MBs that are run by Mr. Vaknin, or any of his known followers or with which he is associated unless you want to chance being reabused.  |

| Cults and Brainwashing | In my experience online, a cult tells you how bad you are and how you need fixing; a cult breaks you down to build you up according to its twisted vision. The cult leader invariably is a psychopath/character disordered. This is an invaluable site for dipping into the cult world whether it's a group or one-on-one. And how safe are you online? |
