Narcissism is a term widely used in popular culture, but its true meaning is often misunderstood.

By examining the psychological framework of narcissism—including the distinction between healthy and unhealthy narcissism, overt and covert presentations, and the complexities of diagnosing Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)—participants will develop a deeper, research-based understanding of this personality structure.
