Perhaps. But he has proven invaluable in the poorly researched epidemic of Narcissism spreading through society. As a self confessed narcissist his writing helps us understand Narcissism intimately instead of in just a purely clinical sense.

He is not Dr. of psychology (but he is Dr. of philosophy and physics). He is narcissist and on the border of psychopath. He helps others because this is his way of getting attention (narcissistic supply as he calls it). But he is for sure the biggest expert in the world on these issues: (1) He is a narcissist himself(1st hand) (2) He has been studying this disorder for 15 years (3) He invented many of the concepts and language now used all over the world (4) He corresponded with thousands of narcissists, therapists, and victims (5) He is quoted in 1000+ scholarly articles and 4500+ books.

Is there any source of information about narcissism on the internet that does not rely directly or indirectly on Sam Vaknin?
Probably hundreds, but the interested party might wish to try Narcissism; A Genetic Trait, http://www.narcissism.homestead.com I find Sam Vaknin's writing fascinating. I had already come to the conclusion that my ex was likely a narcissist (with the help of a trusted psychiatrist) BEFORE I discovered Vaknin's book "Malignant Self-Love". It seemed a little frustrating to me that almost all the information on the web seems to thread back to Sam. For awhile I thought it was odd to be reading material about narcissism written by a narcissist(?)He seems to be the expert, however. I believe I understand narcissism fairly well after reading the book, (more than I ever thought I wanted wanted to know!)In fact, my counselor says I need to STOP reading so much.(!!)Fascinating stuff. I found very good information by searching under Social Psychology for narcissism. I get the impression that there just hasn't been very much material published about the disorder. Maybe that's because, other than the termoil they cause for the rest of us, they don't do much damage and they don't ask for help. I read one psychologist who said that even though narcissists don't offer themselves for treatment very often, treating their families and friends is a gold mine.
Why is your abuser always mad at you and acts as though he hates you?
Here I go using Sam Vaknin's explanation again! N's hate us because we are so NORMAL. part of them resents this because we are able to feel, to have empathy, to love and display emotions. They are out to destroy this in us and so they devalue us. Of course they seem to "hate" us! Underneath this hate there is likely envy and jealousy of huge proportions!
