Treating NPD With Empathy, not Sympathy | FRANK YEOMANS

Frank Yeomans describes the difference between empathy and sympathy in treating narcissism (NPD), and the challenges in helping people see things about themselves that are horrifying for them to see. Illustrated with a clinical example highlighting the role of denial in NPD.

We talked with Frank Yeomans about Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and how they can affect us on a personal and societal level.

Frank Yeomans is an expert clinician who makes use of Transference-Focused Psychotherapy in his practice treating NPD and BPD. In fact, he co-wrote the manual on TFP for Borderline Personality Disorder!
