Review by Library Journal Review

The attribute of narcissism has been making a comeback in the news lately, and it is no surprise that this quality of self-absorption wreaks havoc on relationships. Clinical psychologist Love uses cognitive behavioral therapies, mindfulness, and schema therapy to help women gain an understanding of why they're attracted to narcissists and how to move on to healthier partners. Her message engages with case studies and targeted exercises and techniques that identify the life traps and core beliefs that make women fall for narcissistic men. Through an analysis of coping styles from childhood through adulthood, the author helps readers commit to and feel deserving of a quality companion. VERDICT An excellent resource in aiding readers to recognize and defuse the draw of narcissistic people. © Copyright 2016. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
