There are
some common chapters in the following 2 e-books
Sam Vaknin, Malignant Self Love,
Sam Vaknin,
Abuse, Torture, And Trauma and Their Consequences and Effects,
There are some problems in the latter work
particularly, most notably, on p. 99 he advocates the use of psychotropic
medications for things like anxiety and depression. But that can never be
justified for any type of psychological problem. And on p. 93 he says: “Victims
are not a uniform lot. In some cultures, abuse is commonplace and accepted as a
legitimate mode of communication, a sign of love and caring, and a boost to the
abuser’s self image. In such circumstances, the victim is likely to adopt the
norms of society and avoid serious trauma.” In my view, this is nonsense. Just
because trauma is concealed doesn’t mean that it’s not there. Besides, the
author is implicitly conceding that there’s no autonomy involved in the
adoption of society’s norms under such a condition, hence there’s coercion and
therefore great harm, from a humanistic standpoint.
