Abuse By Proxy Abusers often use other people to do their dirty work for them. These - sometimes unwitting - accomplices belong to three groups. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Ambient Abuse Ambient abuse is the stealth, subtle, underground currents of maltreatment that sometimes go unnoticed even by the victims themselves, until it is too late. Ambient abuse penetrates and permeates everything - but is difficult to pinpoint and identify. It is ambiguous, atmospheric, diffuse. Hence its insidious and pernicious effects. It is by far the most dangerous kind of abuse there is. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Avoiding the Abuser - I. The Submissive Posture Abusers react to the slightest provocation - real or imagined - with disproportionate wrath and, often, violence. It is important, therefore, never to openly and repeatedly disagree with your abuser or contradict him. If you do - your abuser is bound to walk away, but only after he has vilified and harmed you in every way he can. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Avoiding the Abuser - II. The Conflictive Posture Contrary to its name, the conflictive posture is actually about avoiding conflict by minimizing contact and insisting on boundaries. It is about refusal to accept abusive behavior by demanding reasonably predictable and rational actions and reactions. It is about respect for you and for your predilections, preferences, emotions, needs, and priorities. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Avoiding Your Paranoid Ex The paranoid's conduct is unpredictable and there is no "typical scenario". But experience shows that you can minimise the danger to yourself and to your household by taking some basic steps. narcissism • personality • narcissistic • narcissistic personality disorder • npd
Befriending the System Communicate with your abuser politely and reasonably. Do not let yourself get provoked! Do not throw temper tantrums or threaten anyone, not even indirectly! Restrain your hostility. Talk calmly and articulately. Count to ten or take a break, if you must. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Condoning Abuse Abuse is bound to be found in patriarchal, narcissistic, or misogynistic collectives. Many societies exhibit cross sections of these three traits. Thus, most patriarchal groups are also misogynistic, either overtly and ideologically so - or covertly and in denial. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships
Conning the System Offenders are uncanny in their ability to deceive their evaluators. They often succeed in transforming therapists and diagnosticians into four types of collaborators: the adulators, the blissfully ignorant, the self-deceiving and those deceived by the batterer's conduct or statements. narcissism • narcissistic personality disorder • psychopathology • therapy • relationships |
