The serial bully displays behaviour congruent with many
of the diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality
Disorder. Characterised by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity
and self-im****tance, need for admiration, and lack of
empathy, people with narcissistic personality disorder
overestimate their abilities and inflate their accomplishments,
often appearing boastful and pretentious, whilst correspondingly
underestimating and devaluing the achievements and accomplishments
of others.
Often the narcissist will fraudulently claim to have qualifications
or experience or affiliations or associations which they
don't have or aren't entitled to. Belief in superiority,
inflating their self-esteem to match that of senior or
im****tant people with whom they associate or identify,
insisting on having the "top" professionals or being
affiliated with the "best" institutions, but criticising
the same people who disappoint them are also common
features of narcissistic personality disorder.
Narcissists react angrily to criticism and when rejected,
the narcissist will often denounce the profession which
has rejected them (usually for lack of competence or
misdeed) but simultaneously and paradoxically represent
themselves as belonging to the profession they are vilifying.
Fragile self-esteem, a need for constant attention and
admiration, fi****ng for compliments (often with great charm),
an expectation of superior entitlement, expecting others
to defer to them, and a lack of sensitivity especially
when others do not react in the expected manner, are also
hallmarks of the disorder. Greed, expecting to receive before
and above the needs of others, overworking those around them,
and forming romantic (sic) or ***ual relation****ps for the
purpose of advancing their purpose or career, abusing special
privileges and squandering extra resources also feature.
People with narcissistic personality disorder also have
difficulty recognizing the needs and feelings of others,
and are dismissive, contemptuous and impatient when others
share or discuss their concerns or problems. They are also
oblivious to the hurtfulness of their behaviour or remarks,
show an emotional coldness and a lack of reciprocal interest,
exhibit envy (especially when others are accorded recognition),
have an arrogant, disdainful and patronizing attitude, and
are quick to blame and criticise others when their needs
and expectations are not met.
The DSM-IV Diagnostic Criteria for Narcissistic Personality
Disorder are:
A. A pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration,
lack of empathy, as indicated by at least five of:
1. a grandiose sense of self-im****tance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success,
power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and can only be
understood by, or should associate with, other special
or high-status people (or institutions)
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement, ie unreasonable expectations
of especially favourable treatment or automatic compliance
with his or her expectations
6. is interpersonally exploitative, ie takes advantage of
others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy and is unwilling to recognize or identify
with the feelings and needs of others
8. is often envious of others or believes that others are
envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviours or attitudes
