Simply put, the children of narcissist — offspring of parents whose interest always towered above the most basic needs of their sons and daughters — share a common belief: They believe they do not have the right to exist. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difficulties experienced by adult children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways: for examples, physical self-loathing that takes form of overeating, anorexia, or bulimia; a self-destructive streak that causes poor job performance and rocky personal relationships; or a struggle with the self that is perpetuated in the adult's interaction with his or her own children. These dilemmas are both common and correctable, Dr. Golomb tells us. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an empathic blend of scholarship and case studies, along with her own personal narrative of her fight for self, Dr. Golomb plumbs the depths of this problem, revealing its mysterious hold on the affairs of otherwise bright, aware, motivated, and worthy people. \u003ci\u003eTrapped in the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e explores.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe nature of the paralysis and lack of motivation so many adults feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estress and its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewhy do many of our relationships seem to be \"reruns\" of the past\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ehow one's body image can be formed by faulty parenting \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow anger must be acknowledge to be overcome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand, most important, how even the most traumatized self can be healed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooted in a profoundly humanist traditional approach, and suffused with the benefit of the latest knowledge about intrafamily relationships, \u003ci\u003eTrapped in the Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e offers more than the average self-help book; it is truly the first self-heal book for millions.\u003c\/p\u003e Library Journal \u003cp\u003eIt seems reasonable to expect self-help books to accomplish one of three goals: to explain behavior, to assist readers to develop their potential or to change unwanted behavior patterns, or to motivate readers. This book fails on all three counts. People who may be attracted to the concept have probably already realized that their relationship with a self-absorbed parent has caused problems, and they will not learn much else. The suggestions for change are too general to be useful, and the tone is at times spiteful and depressing. Susan Forward and Buck Craig's Toxic Parents: Overcoming Their Hurtful Legacy and Reclaiming Your Life (Bantam, 1989) covers the same topic in a more positive and helpful fashion.
