false 180466 1 Millions of adults grew up with immature, self-absorbed parents who made their own children responsible for their physical and emotional well-being, expected admiration and constant attention, and reacted with criticism and blame when their slightest need went unmet. In this accessible book, psychologist Nina Brown helps grown children come to terms with the results of such an upbringing, including tendencies to overcomply to others' needs, withdraw when someone needs nurturing, and lack self-esteem. Through self-exploration exercises and protective and coping strategies, Brown helps readers work toward developing a "healthy narcissism" by identifying destructive patterns their parents may have had, evaluating attitudes and behaviors that may be hampering their own adult relationships, dealing with self-doubt and other negative feelings, and piecing together a more integrated sense of self. 174378 30 3 2001 Children of the Self-Absorbed: A Grown-Up's Guide to Getting over Narcissistic Parents total:48|5:19|4:17|3:9|2:3|1:0| 48 196 97 10 4 0 false false Fri Jul 31 22:45:35 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 22:46:10 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Mar 01 15:32:49 -0800 2009 Sat Mar 14 15:59:31 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 24 05:15:47 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 06 09:17:41 -0800 2009 ...more...]]> 2 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 11 18:20:38 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 17 10:44:29 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2002 Mon Oct 29 20:44:46 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 29 20:45:46 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Fri Nov 07 06:49:00 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 06:49:27 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 15 11:48:11 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 13:11:54 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Thu May 08 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 16:33:41 -0700 2008 Thu May 08 08:37:15 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Mon Mar 03 23:05:59 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 04 06:00:12 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jul 10 13:06:34 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 10 13:06:52 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 06:03:10 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 06:03:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 17 08:14:49 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 17 08:14:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 16 10:20:07 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 10:20:07 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Sep 04 21:42:13 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 21:42:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Aug 24 19:09:27 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 19:09:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 22 11:14:26 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 13:52:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 02 09:19:51 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 09:19:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 21 13:49:13 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 13:49:13 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 09:42:18 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 09:42:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 12 15:31:44 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 12 15:31:44 -0700 2009
