Narcissistic traits or disorders can involve manipulation, entitlement, self focus, and a lack of concern for others. These traits have important implications for sexual behaviour and relationships.


This training will outline what you need to know to recognise different types of narcissism in your consulting room, and identify the implications for sexual, and abusive cycles.
