The Psychology of Narcissism with Dr Ava Green
Unravel the enigma of narcissism: from psychology to society with Dr Ava Green at the Assembly Roxy on Tuesday 29th October!
About The Psychology of Narcissism with Dr Ava Green
Narcissism is everywhere and, according to some research, on the rise. We often associate the term narcissism with negative connotations – arrogance, egotism, vanity. While these aspects are associated with narcissistic personality types, narcissism actually is a much broader concept. In fact, we all exhibit narcissistic features to a certain degree.
In this talk, you will dive into the complex multi-faceted construct of narcissism and its features, how it originates, and how it plays out in intimate relationships. You will also learn about how narcissism can be manifested differently in men and women. Lastly, you will learn about specific risk factors that can lead to abusive behaviour in narcissistic individuals and how these differ among males and females.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
