Finish your homework first. Respect the rules your parents give you for using the Internet. Don't surf the Internet at a friend's house unless a parent or guardian is there. Available from Christian bookshops. The title is drawn from the story-myth of Narcissus, a young man who falls hopelessly in love with his own image reflected in a pool, and in fact dies rather than leave it.
Narcissism is also a word used in the therapies to identify a serious problem with selfishness.
In his vast clinical work expressed in many interesting anecdotes told in the book, Bruce is of the view that selfishness is a major problem in our society and that the advanced form of it namely narcissism is plentiful in our community. Bruce's clinical practice in Canberra is quite often directed towards relationship counselling. They range through the craver, the special lover, the body shaper, the trickster, the martyr, the rescuer, the fantasy maker, the power broker and the rager. Bruce's lucid style in investigating each of these individually, with many examples, places the reader in a real way in a sense of introspection about his or her own behaviour, and which of the nine lie often unnoticed. Bruce even analyses his own dominant suspect.
