@JosephtheEmpath I don't think you can say it like that. If you ask if they have a personality disorder, I don't know, I'm not a psychiatrist. You do tests for that.

I've witnessed DV and I can say the person is a coveted narcissist with history of abuse, and was also abused as a child. So, in this particular case, yes.

@leeloh I agree. But what i can say that Narcissism lies on a spectrum. All abusers have high levels of Narcissism, maybe not enough to qualify for the disorder but they do.

No we can't auto assume that.
All humanoids have [i]some[/i] narc traits.
Not all abusers are narcs.
But I'm not a legit psychologist I just play one on-line. ;-)
