Mentalization-Based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism

A Handbook

By: Robert P. Drozek,Brandon Unruh,Anthony Bateman

Despite the growing cultural and empirical interest in narcissism and narcissistic personality disorder, therapists often feel confused and overwhelmed about how to help patients struggling with these problems. “Mentalization” refers to the ability to read, access, and reflect on mental states in oneself and other people. Research shows that people with narcissism can suffer from extreme difficulties mentalizing themselves and others, leading to instability in their mood, interpersonal relationships, and sense of self. Mentalization-based Treatment for Pathological Narcissism: A Handbook provides much needed guidance about how to effectively help patients suffering from narcissistic vulnerabilities. Mentalization-based treatment, or MBT, is an evidence-based therapy for patients with personality disorders, helping patients to reflect on mental states in themselves and others, resulting in significant improvements in everyday functioning. This book reviews the deficits in mentalizing associated with pathological narcissism, describes how to give the diagnosis of narcissism to patients, outlines how to structure therapy sessions, and offers step-by-step techniques about “what to do and say” when sitting with these patients. Utilizing vibrant case examples and verbatim scripts from actual psychotherapies, the authors explain how to address the most common clinical challenges associated with narcissism: disconnection from emotions; impairments in empathy; rigid thinking; monologues and intellectualization; unstable self-esteem; and tendencies to blame other people for disruptions in their relationships.

Filming the First

Cinematic Portrayals of Freedom of the Press

By: Helen J. Knowles-Gardner,Bruce E. Altschuler,Brandon T. Metroka

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits Congress from abridging freedom of the press. But, as the printed press has been transformed into mass media with Americans now more likely to get their political information from television or social media than from print, confidence in this important, mediating institution has fallen dramatically. Movies, in their role as cultural artifacts, have long reflected and influenced those public attitudes, inventing such iconic phrases as “follow the money” from All the President’s Men and “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore” from Network. Filming the First: Cinematic Portrayals of Freedom of the Press analyzes eighteen films that span from Citizen Kane to Spotlight showing changes in how the press have been portrayed over time, which voices receive the most attention and why, the relationship between the press’s “Fourth Estate” role and the imperatives of capitalism, and how, despite the First Amendment’s seemingly absolute language, the government has sometimes been able to limit what the public can read or view.

101 Reasons to Hate George Steinbrenner

By: Brandon Toropov

Right. For two and a half decades, Yankee boss George Steinbrenner has gone out of his way to find new ways to make baseball both interesting and infuriating. What can you say about an owner who ... - pays gambler Howie Spira to try to track down unsavory information on outfielder Dave Winfield? - fires Dick Howser, the manager who guided the New York Yankees to their best regular-season record since 1963? - leaks uncomplimentary facts about his own players to the press? - nurtures a codependent relationship with the late Billy Martin, eventually hiring (and firing) the Brash One five times? - composes, and distributes to the New York media, a press release attacking his own manager, Lou Piniella, for missing a phone call? - so enrages Yogi Berra that the Hall of Famer has sworn never to reenter Yankee stadium until someone else owns the team? - goes through managers the way other people go through Kleenex? - leads Jay Leno to call Saddam Hussein the "Steinbrenner of Iraq"? Well, there certainly is one thing to say: George Steinbrenner is the most hated man in major league baseball. With this book in hand you will find yourself laughing, crying, and cursing -- sometimes all at once. And remember... The only good thing about having power is that you can use it to help other people. - Steinbrenner expounding his personal philosophy, circa 1982 Okay, George, and I'm sure you have a bridge to sell us.

Me 1 Arthritis 0

A Young Man's Real Life Journey to Beating the Disease

By: Brandon Wilkinson

In his early twenties, Brandon Wilkinson received a shocking diagnosis: he had arthritis. Life took a sudden and devastating turn as he coped with chronic pain and the knowledge that he needed immediate hip replacement surgery. Yet as he struggled against the pain throughout his body, Wilkinson made a conscious decision to win the fight. With emotional depth and a maturity beyond his years, Wilkinson delves into the difficult days following his diagnosis in Me 1 Arthritis 0. He tells of how friends, family, and co-workers greeted the news with varying degrees of support, sympathy, and even pity, and he shares the emotional upheaval that he experienced in every aspect of his life. After his successful surgery, Wilkinson changed his life: he adopted better eating habits, pain-management techniques, and an improved mental attitude. In the end, Wilkinson triumphed over his disease and today lives a pain-free life. Dark and edgy with splashes of humor, this memoir is a must-read for all arthritis sufferers. Wilkinson's courage and strength brilliantly capture the true essence of the human spirit and will inspire anyone living with the physical and mental aspects of chronic pain.
