The path to change for someone with narcissistic personality disorder is more narrow than previously perceived, according to a new report published in Psychological Bulletin.
"For the longest time it always felt defeatist to take the stance that people with narcissistic personality disorder don't change," she says.
"It doesn't feel fair, and it's hard, but it's a fundamental truth that they don't change."
"The more maladaptive a personality the less likely they are to change," Durvasula says.
Instead of expecting a narcissist to change, Durvasula advises those in relationships with them to seek professional help.
