Abstract

This is only a proposed outline of changes, and may not ultimately be accepted as the final word for DSM-5. Unfortunately, NPD is not listed as one of the disorders in line for full DSM-5 fieldtesting (APA, 2010). Such large-scale examination might finally have provided answers to the many questions that still remain about NPD and narcissism. Instead, we will have to rely on the many clinical, personality, and social psychologists and psychiatrists already engaged in active research programs on narcissism to answer the question of whether the evidence justifies the continued inclusion of NPD as an official diagnosis in the next edition of the psychiatric classification system.
