However, the narcissist"s extremely fragile sense of self worth does not allow him or her to risk any criticism. Therefore, meaningful emotional interactions with others are avoided.

Thus, when people praise the narcissist his or her grandiosity will increase, but when criticized the gra ...
... pain. Alcoholism is not a disease experienced only by adults. Alcoholism, like any illness, can strike at any age.

... 50 percent or more infections result from homosexual contacts. Other infections like syphilis, herpes, and HIV infection may be passed on to the fetus or during childbirth.

The whole situation only gets worse, if the patien ...

Some of these common abnormalities are a broad nasal bridge, poorly developed filtrum, thin upper limit, flattening of the axillary area, and a short upturned or beak-like nose. Some of the more serious effects that can be more dangerous are a poor dental alignment, optic nerve defects, and arterial septal defect (Welkselman, 297). Welkselman thinks that affected infants frequently are measured at birth to be below the tenth percentile for their age in length, weight, and head size.

... understand or over which they have little control. In its most general form, counseling provides a context for such change. How to evplain any change, how to assess its direction or to predictg irs effects, and how to understand the meaning any change may have for the client are questions the effective counselor must ask.
