GAD or NPD?


Hi Dr. Vaknin,
I am reading your book, "Malignant Optimism."
You said often times people are diagnosed with NPD who actually have GAD.
Can you elaborate more on how to tell the difference between these two?? Thanks!

My book is "Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited" (http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/thebook.html ).

"The Malignant Optimism of the Abused" is a part of one of the chapters in my book (http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/journal27.html ).
