Loving the Self-Absorbed: How to Create a More Satisfying Relationship with a Narcissistic Partner by Nina W. Brown "This book might have been better titled Living With the Self-Absorbed. Sometimes a person must live with or continue to have a relationship with a self-absorbed person, and this book is very helpful in that aspect. It is extremely difficult to love someone who is capable of loving only him or herself, but this books presents ways to live and deal with this person without losing one's sense of self. There are exercises provided that can also help the reader improve their own relationship skills, not only with the self-absorbed, but with others as well. The most effective way to deal with the self-absorbed is not to have to deal with them at all. If that is not an option, this book is worth reading to help the reader keep his or her perspective and reality intact, which is a challenge when living with the self-absorbed."

Why Is It Always About You? : The Seven Deadly Sins of Narcissism by James F. Masterson "This book is excellent, wish it had been around a few decades ago. However, the author very nearly implies that the narcissistic parent would have to be a violent, antisocial type for the adult child to justify imposing distance. That's like saying your spouse has to beat you bloody before you are justified from walking away from an abusive marriage. I wish the author had discussed deliberate estrangement as a way of opting out of a hopeless parental relationship that isn't physically violent. More adult children who need to do it might have felt better about it. There comes a time when we must all "let go" of our children, no matter how feckless and troublesome they are. The same is true for our parents even if they are older and feign helplessness. Believe me, if they know nothing else it is how to take care of themselves."

Children of the Self-Absorbed: A Grown-Up's Guide to Getting over Narcissistic Parents by Nina W. Brown "Millions of adults grew up with immature, self-absorbed parents who made their own children responsible for their physical and emotional well-being, expected admiration and constant attention, and reacted with criticism and blame when their slightest need went unmet. In this accessible book, psychologist Nina Brown helps grown children come to terms with the results of such an upbringing, including tendencies to overcomply to others' needs, withdraw when someone needs nurturing, and lack self-esteem. Through self-exploration exercises and protective and coping strategies, Brown helps readers work toward developing a "healthy narcissism" by identifying destructive patterns their parents may have had, evaluating attitudes and behaviors that may be hampering their own adult relationships, dealing with self-doubt and other negative feelings, and piecing together a more integrated sense of self."
