We live in a “me-centered” culture, where many individuals selfishly extend beyond healthy boundaries to assert perceived “rights,” overpowering others in the process. This epidemic of selfishness, entitlement, and emotional immaturity fuels narcissism and marital sexual abuse, traumatizing many and eroding the delicate fabric of marriage. Hope and Healing for the Narcissistic and Emotionally Abusive Marriage explores not only the culture of narcissism, but also individual character pathology, its impact on marriage, and strategies clinicians can employ to assist individuals and couples as they navigate their way to relational health.
