Course Description
Narcissists have a drive to be superior to others and to feel powerful. They charm professionals on a regular basis, including in family law cases, which requires professionals to learn how to identify, understand and manage them. The first half of this course provides basic information about narcissistic personality disorder, as well as common ways that narcissists manipulate professionals and blame them for their own failures. They often have predictable parenting behavior problems. Their common court and negotiation behaviors will be addressed, as well as ways to spot them early in a case.
The second half of the course addresses ways of managing narcissists as clients and as opposing parties, in family court and in negotiations. The problem of dealing with narcissistic professionals is included. Case examples are provided of dealing with narcissists in and out of court.
