I'm really not sure what part of 'please don't post to me' is hard for you. Your vocabulary is better than mine, so that can't be it...
The guy you posted a link to... Do you think you would work well with him? He strikes me as someone who would be very poorly suited indeed to work with me. He strikes me as someone whose preferred mode of operation is to work collude with a client in blaming their significant other for being a naggy, whiny, narcissistic bitch. or bastard. as the case may be. aka: make happy puppy noises and rail against the alleged cause of the upset. Perhaps he has an x wife or two... And he gets some sort of peace for himself in working like that.
If that doesn't help his client sufficiently (and / or if his client isn't sufficiently happy / enthusiastic / appreciative of his efforts) then he strikes me as the sort of person who would turn against his client. He'd rail at them for being a naggy, whiny, narcissistic bitch.
Does he treat these people he's willing to label 'narcissistic', I wonder? How does he treat them? A little of the 'I have to hurt you -- its helping you / it's for your own good really'. How effectively does he treat narcissists?
Or is he just using a pseudo-technical term with a test that is about as rigerous as the good old 'if they sink they weren't a witch after all' in order to... Blame the people who are most in need of help.
That, uh, he is probably ill suited to provide, anyway.
Is sort of how he strikes me.
I do work well with some clinicians. Not many... But some. Unfortunately, those tend to be the people who can do very well in private practice. So they don't typically find themselves working in the public system over here. Or: Working in the public system over here isn't particularly conducive to ones own psychological health. Or... Those who settle for working in the public service over here aren't typically the brightest.
