Trapped In The Mirror:
Adult Children of Narcissists and Their Struggle For Self
By Elan Golomb, Ph.D.
In this compelling book, Elan Golomb identifies the crux of the emotional and psychological problems of millions of adults. Simply put, the children of narcissists - offspring of parents whose own interests 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.
The difficulties experienced by children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways. For example: physical self-loathing that takes the 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.
With an emphatic 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. Trapped in the Mirror explores:
The nature of paralysis and lack of motivation felt by so many adults.
Stress and its role in exacerbating childhood wrongs.
Why many of our relationships seem to be "reruns" of the past.
How one's body image can be damaged by faulty parenting.
How anger must be acknowledged to be overcome.
And, most important, how even the most traumatized self can be healed.
Rooted in a profoundly humanistic approach, and suffused with the benefit of the latest knowledge about intrafamily relationships, Trapped in the Mirror offers more than the average self-help book; it is truly the first self-heal book for millions.
