The combining of the personality traits narcissism and sociopathology are an extremely dangerous mix that creates untold suffering. In my experience working with more than 1,000 domestic violence victims over the past 25 years, the most common pair of abuser traits by far are these two.

Narcissists include those who claim their uninformed views supersede the opinions of experts and professionals. Narcissists blame others, to include unseen conspirators, for their every misdeed and misfortune, all while exalting themselves as the savior from evil and ruin. Narcissists proclaim to know everything about everything, while they portray others as weak, unfit and undeserving.

Sociopaths see themselves as above the law while holding others to standards and rules from which he or she is immune and exempt. Sociopaths are proud “not to follow the norm,” yet are the first to scream when someone else strays from a guideline or procedure. They lie and deceive endlessly, label opponents with derogatory nicknames, and have little empathy for the feelings or suffering of “outsiders.”

Sociopaths frequently invent and then target “enemies” in order to assume the role as the “protector” of those who show to them loyalty.
