PATHWAYS TO NARCISSISM: ARGUMENTS AGAINST GENETIC FACTORS ARE ARGUMENTS FROM IGNORANCE

The widely held belief that parenting quality is the primary factor that shapes personality is incorrect. While there are negative effects of poor parenting, including abuse and neglect, abuse and neglect are not causes of narcissism; they are at most risk factors that can amplify a narcissistic trait profile that already exists in the biological temperament from the start. They may be risk factors, but they are also non essential , unnecessary risk factors. Psychotherapy that views narcissism as a trauma related disorder or a disorder that occurred as a result of the child’s early environment actually feeds the self-centered emotional needs of a narcissist. Personality is rooted in biological temperament. Traits people are born with set limits to the extent that people can change, depending on the trait. With pathological traits, like narcissistic traits, the extent of change is minimal if there is any at all. All human behavior is the product of two interacting factors, heredity, and environment. Genes make some people more vulnerable to environmental factors and make others less vulnerable. Genes literally are what make the human brain and denying biological explanations for some of the more severe disorders like narcissism is quite simply a voluntary act of ignorance.
