Polygamist cults aren't the only source of abuse and manipulation
With the Texas polygamist compound raid still in the news I find it
interesting that so much of America finds this behavior reprehensible,
yet what we still don't talk about is how this same behavior is going on
behind closed doors in every neighborhood in this country.

Narcissism Victim Syndrome, A new diagnosis?
Do you see a preponderance of middle aged women in your practices with
no particular physical disease process, yet a variety of physical and/or
emotional complaints, including: insomnia, weight loss or gain,
depression, anxiety, phobias, broken bones, lacerations, or bruises?
Some may report an overwhelming feeling of emptiness or doom. Others may
talk about or attempt suicide.

Emotionally Hazardous Work Environments, What's the Health Care Cost?
As companies weigh
costs of doing business, the easy figures to analyze and compare are the
traditional black and white ones: salaries, overhead, cost of goods,
etc. Yet, what are the nebulous costs that result from absenteeism, lack
of employee focus, increased usage of insurance as a result of medical
conditions, and even issues related to sabotage instigated by unhappy
employees, simply due to an emotionally unhealthy work environment?

Changing the Course of Depression by Changing the Environment
How many women in
your practice are leaving your office with prescriptions for
antidepressants? Yet do you know what questions to ask that can help you
determine if their
depression is the result of an emotionally abusive environment that
has them feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, lost, alone, and as
though they're going crazy? Depressed? You bet. And most of you would be
too if you lived in this constant state of emotional war zone still
almost unrecognizable by our culture even today.

Recognizing Women Abusers
The usual picture of the abuse victim from newspapers to the big screen
is most commonly a woman. Stereotypically, a small, weak, low
socioeconomic woman at that. Someone who can't defend herself and has
been taken advantage of by a brut … a cad … a villainous man… like the
monster of a man in the movie “Sleeping With the Enemy,” with Julia
Roberts. (Although, I dare say, Julia's role broke a bit of the
stereotype itself, as she was married to a very wealthy and respected
member of the community whose friends would never have dreamed of his
abusive behavior behind closed doors.)

Conference to Help Victims of Narcissistic Relationships Become
Survivors
From the boardroom to the bedroom, our narcissistic society is wrecking
emotional havoc with people everywhere, leading to physical as well as
mental health care issues. Yet, very little has seemingly been done to
bring together victims, survivors, and health care professionals to
understand the phenomenon of narcissism and Narcissistic Personality
Disorder, as well as to learn how to heal from the emotional roller
coaster ride that can be the life of living or working with "Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde", or someone with this "God Complex".
