DEEP INTO NARCISSISM THE HIDDEN ARCHITECTURE OF A PERSONALITY DISORDER
About
Deep Into Narcissism: The Hidden Architecture of a Personality Disorder is a groundbreaking psychological analysis that strips away the myths, pop jargon, and spiritual bypassing surrounding narcissism. Author Juan Pereira delivers an unfiltered, forensic breakdown of what narcissistic personality disorder truly is—not just a behavioral issue, but a deeply rooted personality pathology built on shame, trauma, false self-construction, and emotional detachment.
This book exposes the inner structure of the narcissistic psyche using Pereira's original PROTEK™ Model—a framework detailing Pathological Defenses, Regulatory Breakdown, Ontological Insecurity, Trauma-Driven Delusions, Ego Fragmentation, and Kinetic Reinforcement Loops. It is paired with the E.M.P.A.T.H.™ Framework, offering readers practical tools for understanding narcissistic behavior while maintaining clear emotional and cognitive boundaries.
Covering neurobiological dysfunction, covert vs. overt traits, narcissistic abuse cycles, manipulation tactics, supply systems, and the long-term psychological impact on survivors, this book is both a clinical resource and a survival manual. It refuses to water down the reality of narcissistic pathology, while still offering the possibility of understanding and transformation.
Written for survivors, clinicians, and anyone seeking brutal clarity, Deep Into Narcissism is more than a book—it's a mirror held up to the disorder most misunderstood, most denied, and most dangerous when left unchecked.
