In this episode, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, explains the paranoid and dangerously harmful characteristics of a malignant narcissist.

Malignant narcissism is “Narcissistic Personality Disorder on steroids.” Great examples of this personality type would be Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Mussolini, and Saddam Hussein.

Typical characteristics include:
- Paranoid, suspect deceit, doubt loyalty
- Defy, challenge & demean authority figures
- Aggressive and controlling
- Manipulatively cast themselves as victims
- Outwardly selfish and unapologetic
- Emotionally, physically, and/or sexually abusive
- Reckless indifference (psychopathic tendencies)
- Grandiose
- Fantasies of power
- Entitled
- Believe they have a special destiny in life
