What Psychotherapy Got Wrong:
Essential Insights on Dark Traits, Narcissism, and Empathy for Mental Health Professionals
Recent studies challenge traditional psychological models, uncovering not only a higher prevalence of narcissistic and sociopathic traits but also a previously unidentified group of individuals who blend empathy with dark traits. This new understanding reshapes how mental health professionals evaluate clients and their interpersonal dynamics.
In this course, you’ll explore the profound implications of this research for clinical practice. Learn how to effectively support clients recovering from emotional abuse and enhance interventions for couples and families navigating the challenges of abusive relationships.
