Type of therapy that can help to narcissistic personality disorder include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy. In general, cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients identify health conditions, beliefs and negative behaviors and replace them with healthy, positive.
- Family therapy typically brings the whole family together in therapy sessions. The patient and his family explore conflicts, communication and problem solving to help cope with relationship problems between them.
- Therapy groups that enables patients to meet with a group of people with similar conditions, can assist with teaching and to relate better with others. This is probably a good way to learn about truly listening to others, learn about their feelings and offer support.
Because personality traits can be difficult to change, therapy may take several years. The purpose of short-term psychotherapy is to address problems such as drug use, depression, low self-esteem or shame. Long-term goal is to reshape the patient's personality, at least for a few minor changes significantly, so that patients can change patterns of thinking that distort self-image and create a realistic self-image. Psychotherapy can also help patients learn to relate better with others so that the relationship is more intimate, enjoyable and rewarding. This can help patients understand the causes of patient emotions and what drives people to compete, to distrust others and perhaps to hate themselves and others.
