Re: inner pain vs. narcissism

I guess is depends: Are these qualities innate or aquired, or a special mix of both? I don't think the author went into that in any detail. He just felt boosting their (already distorted) self-esteem wasn't necessarily an effective intervention, and saw no clear connexion to victimhood. Unfortunately, I can't find a link, and don't have the issue in front of me, but I'll try to delve into that question. I don't know the answer, but would be interested in what the author's view might be, and perhaps more detailed views are published elsewhere.
