About this listen

This episode provides a technical breakdown of the differences between high-functioning psychopathy and malignant narcissism using the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual (PDM-2) framework. It examines personality organization, defensive structure, affect regulation, reality testing, and interpersonal patterns to clarify commonly conflated constructs. The goal is to move beyond surface-level labels and toward a more precise, structurally grounded understanding of these complex personality configurations and their implications for assessment and management.
