What is California Miramar University??? Never heard of it before.

My Ph.D. dissertation is available from the Library of Congress and
UMI. Go here www.loc.gov and search for it (if you can manage it). It
is titled "Time Asymmetry Revisited" by Sam Vaknin.

Just to set the record straight:

My books are based on the latest research in the field and on
scholarly
works by the leading experts on personality disorders. Many of the
chapters
contain detailed bibliographies.

My book - Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited (now in its
eighth,
revised, impression) and the content of my Web site:

http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com

are based on correspondence since 1996 with hundreds of people
suffering
from the Narcissistic Personality Disorder (narcissists)and with
thousands
of their family members, friends, therapists, and colleagues.

I, myself, have been diagnosed with the disorder (twice) and spent
time in
therapy and almost a decade discussing it in depth (mainly through
correspondence) with mental health professionals the world over.

My online mailing lists alone sport well over 26,000 members - of
which 1000
are therapists, social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists - for
example he

Everything I write is backed by extensive bibliographies. You can
download
some of them he

That NPD is incurable is the view of virtually all major scholars in
the
field - not only mine.

My Web site contains over 1100 pages of content - a total of 15,000
print
pages, full text online, at no charge.

Out of 30 books I wrote, I offer 24 here for download at no charge
(hardly a
commercial practice):

I never claimed to be a mental health professional. The disclaimer on
my Web
site is unequivocal:

But I am certified by Brainbench in Counselling Techniques (with a
very high
mark):

As I said, I am the author of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism
Revisited".
The media and many mental health professionals seem to think that my
work
makes me an authority on narcissism.
