You’re in a new book which has a<br />
whopper of a title. (The Dangerous<br />
Case of Donald Trump) What made<br />
you contribute to this book?<br />
The editor, a fabulous scholar and<br />
colleague, Bandy Lee, approached me. I<br />
was actually swamped with a renovation<br />
and other big project and not in a great<br />
position to take it on. But she was so clear<br />
in her vision, so convincing about the<br />
importance of educating the public, and<br />
so committed to getting me on board as a<br />
narcissism expert who could speak to that<br />
piece of the book, that I ended up happily<br />
saying yes.<br />
I had to really push to generate a chapter<br />
before the personal chaos hit, but now I’m<br />
so glad I did.<br />
What is a typical day for you?<br />
Wake up, get the girls to the school bus,<br />
work out, eat, teach and then see clients,<br />
and on Thursdays, add in some writing.<br />
How do you switch off from work?<br />
Exercise, exercise, exercise. And<br />
reminding myself that my time with my<br />
girls and my wife is precious and not to be<br />
wasted so I havet o be as present as<br />
possible so I can truly savor the<br />
experience.<br />
“If Trump asked you for your advice, what<br />
would it be? Seek therapy. ”<br />
I haven’t read the book yet but it is<br />
on my list so, apologies if you have<br />
addressed this but if Trump asked<br />
you for your advice, what would it<br />
be?<br />
Seek therapy. Please. And stay off twitter.<br />
Maybe wear mittens so you can’t type<br />
What would you say to someone<br />
who is worried that they might be<br />
too narcissistic?<br />
If you take real emotional risks—seeking<br />
help when you need it, sharing when your<br />
sad or scared or lonely and truly turning<br />
to others for mutual care and support (a<br />
style of interaction known as secure<br />
attachment in the research) , you have<br />
absolutely nothing to worry about. .<br />
Finally, you’re stranded on a<br />
desert island. Which 3 things<br />
could you not live without? You<br />
are not allowed to say people or<br />
pets!<br />
If we’ve got basic needs like food and<br />
water covered: Music Video Streaming<br />
A weight bench--in the shade of<br />
course.<br />
Thank you so much for giving up<br />
your time to be interviewed, it’s<br />
been a real privilege. Now all<br />
that remains is for me to say,<br />
enough about you, let’s talk about<br />
MEEEEEE!!!!!!!<br />
