<P>Psychoanalyst Erich Fromm in 1964 developed the term <Q>malignant narcissism,</Q> believing it to be the worst form of psychopathology, a disorder that essentially epitomized evil. Malignant narcissism, however, has never been identified as a clinical condition in the <em>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</em>; instead, it is seen as a conglomeration of several other disorders. Yet researchers since Fromm have described malignant narcissists as unique in their callous nature and proclivity to extreme violence, with a component of sadism bringing them pleasure when inflicting pain. The largest concern about malignant narcissists is that <Q>some have the ability and wherewithal to rise to great positions of power and influence</Q> and to affect large numbers of people. The authors explain the differences between malignant narcissists, <Q>everyday</Q> narcissists, and psychopaths, illustrating these conditions with vignettes of historic public figures and people in popular culture, among others.</P>
