If celebrities had a narcissism score of around 18/19 and normal people have around 15, what does the DSM say is a score that requires therapy of some sort? 20? 25? 2. What would such therapy involve? Counselling on considering the needs of others? 3. Does that arrogance and lack of consideration for others imply a lack of maturity or development of a theory of mind? Is it linked with sociopathy? I guess so, with the reference to manipulation. Thanks very much and keep up the great work! Nice episode, Michael, thought it was quite interesting, so I was left with a couple of questions.
