SUMMARY:Narcissism and Destructive Leadership
DESCRIPTION:The idea that there are ‘narcissistic’ individuals who can wreak havoc when in positions of leadership and power has been receiving considerable public attention. Stories from  political arenas\,  corporate boardrooms and public organisations tell of the damage done by particularly destructive individuals who gain positions of power. \nSuperficially at least\, the fit between the clinical formulations of Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the behaviour of a number of prominent individuals seems strong. The seemingly overwhelming confidence in their own ability\, the very grand sense of their own importance\, alongside the disparagement\, and aggression aimed at those who threaten their persona appears to fit well with the clinical accounts that emerged from psychoanalytic accounts of ‘narcissistic personality disorder’ some decades ago. \nOf course\, serious questions have been raised about the utility of such psychological concepts to understand what might be better understood as more complex sociopolitical phenomena. Should we also be thinking more about the attraction of such personalities\, and the organisations and cultures that promote them? Perhaps we need further analysis of the sociocultural conditions that create or encourage such states of mind? It is now over 35 years since Christopher Lasch published his stinging indictment of ‘post industrial’ American society – Culture of Narcissism. How much relevance does that analysis of social conditions have today? \nThis seminar will examine the status and utility of conceptualisations of narcissistic personality disorder and narcissistic cultures.
