Sinister Reflections | About narcissism and crime

For decades, psychologists, social critics, and writers of all stripes have warned us about the devastation that narcissists wreak on our daily lives. In this book, sociologist Mark S. Davis argues that narcissism is more than just an individual disorder; Rather, it is a virus that infects entire institutions and societies. By examining America's history, this book expands the discussion of narcissism beyond simply being a troubling personality style. It delves into how feelings of superiority, exploitation, revenge, and lack of empathy contribute to contemporary issues such as race relations, immigration, and the marginalization of those deemed “deviant” or different.
