Kenberg’s pathological narcissists inhabit a landscape without laws, in which brutality, aggression, and predation reign. By his telling, envy, sadism, and corruption, all forms of “rationalized aggression,” course through social and organizational life. Relations among individuals constitute an unending contest for supremacy; better to sadistically exploit, the narcissist thinks, than to risk exploitation and the humiliation of defeat. Most other people are but “lifeless shadows,” unreliable and crooked, ready at all times to attack and enforce submission. Those few whom narcissists admire are but idealized extensions of themselves, devalued and “dethroned” if they disappoint in any way. Those whom narcissists enlist to admire them are but “slaves” to be casually tossed aside and mercilessly mistreated but not freed. Weakness—financial, social, sexual—is to be callously exploited.
