NPD/BPD: How are they related<br />

• NPD and BPD share same level of structural<br />

intrapsychic organization<br />

– identity disturbances<br />

• The Grandiose Self characterizes NPD:<br />

– A condensation of everything that seems ideal and<br />

good, with the exclusion of anything negative –<br />

– It is a compensatory structure that is superimposed<br />

on fragmented internal world to provide a<br />

semblance of integration and stability to cover<br />

feelings of inadequacy and emptiness
