Narcissism Explained

Narcissism Explained is a comprehensive educational psychology app which explains in a detailed manner the concept of narcissism, malignant narcissism, covert narcissism, and the psychiatric condition known as NPD or narcissistic personality disorder. The developer relies both on his own knowledge and experiences dealing with narcissism and narcissists and on the expertise of a host of psychologists and psychiatrists. The American Psychiatric Association is also used as a primary reference in the app. The developer makes a point to distinguish the psychiatric disorder known as NPD from the personality trait of narcissism.
