#1 Proven therapy to treat narcissistic personality disorder

By Bridgette Morris

We have good news. Today we can help treat people suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder. It is important to understand without an individual acknowledging they need help treatment will not help.

The #1 proven treatment for narcissistic personality disorder involves a form of therapy called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). This type of therapy focuses on changing patterns of thought and behavior that may be contributing to the disorder.

Other forms of therapy that may be used include:

• psychoanalytic therapy: aims to uncover unconscious thoughts and feelings that may be contributing to the disorder

• schema-focused therapy: which focuses on changing negative patterns of thinking and behavior that began in childhood

• group therapy: which can provide support and feedback from others

Medications such as antidepressants may also be used to help with symptoms such as depression and anxiety that can sometimes occur alongside narcissistic personality disorder.

It's worth noting that people with this disorder are often resistant to therapy and may not believe they have a problem, so progress can be slow and difficult. It's important to work with a therapist who is experienced in treating this disorder and can help the person with NPD understand the need for treatment.
