The Three Faces of Evil

The Three Faces of Evil by Christine Louis de Canonville. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781772041460.

The 21st century has brought with it a narcissistic epidemic, and a flood of traumatised victims that end up in the therapy room. Unfortunately, Narcissism and Narcissistic Victim Abuse (NVS) are subjects that most therapists are unaware of, leaving them ill equipped for recognizing and working with victims suffering from this devastating form of abuse, an abuse that strips them of their identity. From the boardroom to the bedroom, narcissists are everywhere; they can be parents, partners, friends, bosses, siblings—no one is safe. This form of abuse goes way beyond physical and psychological injury, it strikes at the very soul of the victim, leaving them wondering whether they are literally going mad. It is imperative for everyone to understand the relationship dynamics that exists between the narcissist and their victims, i.e. their need for entitlement, control, power, grandiosity and specialness. Also, to understand how a narcissist uses seduction and manipulation to “hook” their victims into a dangerous liaison. The Three Faces of Evil is not only a primer for therapists, but is written for everybody, especially those survivors wanting to understand what happened to them while in a relationship with a perpetrator. This book will educate and familiarize the reader about the complexity of narcissistic behaviours, giving a basic understanding of The Dark from Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Malignant Narcissism, to the most pathological, the psychopath. Learn how to spot these predators before they spot you, because that is the only way to stay safe.
