Der US-amerikanische Psychologe und Autor des Buches Unmasking Narcissism – A guide to understanding the narcissist in your life, Dr. Mark Ettensohn, betreibt einen Youtube-Kanal mit hervorragenden Informationen zum Thema. Anders als nahezu alle, der inzwischen in großer Zahl verfügbaren Kanäle, welche regelmäßig eine dämonisierende Haltung einnehmen, ist Ettensohn bemüht, Narzissmus als die schwere psychische Störung darzustellen, die er ist und zu betonen, was zu oft überhaupt nicht gesagt wird: Auch Narzissten leiden! Sie wollen keine Narzissten sein und haben sich ihre kognitiv-emotionalen Einschränkungen und Barrieren nicht ausgesucht. Es wird empfohlen, mit den ersten, also frühesten Videos im Kanal zu beginnen und sich dann schrittweise neueren zu widmen.

Accusing someone of gaslighting over differing recollections is often rooted in deep confusion or even paranoia. Dr. Ettensohn explores how chronic misunderstanding, poor communication, and defensiveness often masquerade as intentional manipulation. Learn to discern the difference.

Gaslighting vs. Misunderstanding: Reality Check
In this Weekly Insight, Dr. Ettensohn addresses widespread misconceptions about narcissism by clarifying what the term does not mean. Drawing on clinical examples and years of engagement with public discourse, he explores how the label “narcissist” has become a cultural catch-all for behaviors that are often common, non-pathological, and only proximally related to Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). 

The video examines how actions such as setting a boundary, avoiding emotional intimacy, or disagreeing with someone’s interpretation of events are frequently misread as narcissistic - especially when filtered through shame, hurt, or interpersonal conflict. Dr. Ettensohn distinguishes these behaviors from the psychological structure of narcissism, which involves instability in self-esteem regulation and associated interpersonal strategies. 

He also addresses the growing tendency to conflate narcissism with abuse, control, gaslighting, or moral failure, arguing that these associations undermine both clinical clarity and compassion. Misusing the term “narcissism” can lead to stigmatization, inhibit treatment-seeking, and reinforce rigid victim-abuser narratives that obscure the mutual complexity of relational harm. 

This Weekly Insight is a call for greater nuance, clinical integrity, and psychological humility. By understanding what narcissism isn’t, we create more space to see what it is, and how it might be worked with more constructively in both cultural discourse and clinical care.

What Narcissism Isn't: Clearing Up the Confusion
What does real change look like in narcissistic personality disorder? Is it even possible? 

In this Weekly Insight, Dr. Ettensohn responds to one of the most persistent myths in the discourse around NPD: that it is untreatable, and that people with NPD never change. 

Citing a 2024 study published by researchers at Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital, this video highlights compelling clinical evidence that full remission from NPD can occur in treatment. 

All eight participants met full DSM-5 criteria for NPD at the beginning of treatment and NONE of them met full diagnostic criteria at the end of treatment. 

Dr. Ettensohn explains the significance of these findings, the study’s limitations, and why they matter in the context of public discourse that too often reduces narcissism to hopelessness or pathology beyond reach. 

This video is for anyone looking for a more accurate, nuanced, and clinically grounded view of what healing from narcissistic personality disorder can involve.

Empathy & Narcissism: It's Not Black & White!
Dr. Ettensohn explores empathy and NPD, understanding impaired empathy as a state, not a trait. Psychological defenses cause shifts; empathy returns with stability. These shifts explain inconsistent behavior, reflecting internal states crucial for psychological growth. From Dr. Ettensohn's longer video discussing impaired epathy in NPD: https://youtu.be/GZZp2Mcs--Q?si=XC3gOcx-fe6UAVBl
