"Living with a narcissist, writes Hall, violates our fundamental
rights of dignity, integrity, and personal freedoms, made worse
because the narcissist is usually someone close to the abused. All
libraries, in particular university collections supporting mental
health and psychiatry curriculum, will find this a worthy
addition."--Library Journal, starred review
"There is a wealth of information here. The lists and examples of
narcissistic behaviors and their impact on family members, outlines
of family rules and roles, and personal interviews are especially
helpful in bringing a deeper understanding of the depth and breadth
of narcissistic exploitation and manipulation. And the strategies
for family members are practical and compassionate. Hall's The
Narcissist in Your Life will give you hope and insight into how to
help yourself and your kids heal."--from the foreword by Margalis
Fjelstad, PhD, LMFT, author of Stop Caretaking the Borderline or
Narcissist
"Written from the heart, Julie Hall's book is a treasure trove of
knowledge and healing. Every page is filled with warmth and
compassion, teaching the reader how to find solutions
within."--Jackson MacKenzie, author of Whole Again and Psychopath
