My Own Whistleblowing in an Narcissistic Workplace Culture:

 My Own Whistleblowing in an Narcissistic Workplace Culture: 

It is hard to be optimistic about the role of advocacy in social care organizations – whether private or public.  They have all found increasingly effective ways of defending themselves against both insiders and outsiders, who are being perceived as "the enemy" AKA  those who speak Truth to their delusional, corrupt Power. They use gagging clauses in employment contracts; improve skills in public relations; and develop managerial cultures based only on loyalty to the organization, rather than any duties, or professional integrity / responsibiliy they have to clients, families or the public. 

 The whistleblower is presented with a false outer face by the organization that professes to value his or her activities, but behind this phony mask is  an inner face that is increasingly hostile and vindictive and getting considerably cleverer at hiding their malicious behavior at dealing with any dissidents. Democracy is increasing failing particularly within healthcare systems. If you do have the integrity and courage and stand up as a professional and report a colleague's mal-practice be well prepared to have your career ended, as you will face exactly this:

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER - by Dr. Maria Hsia Chang

This is one of the BEST articles on NPD that I have used most extensively over the years. NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER http://www.unr.edu/cla/polisci/famaria_hsia_chang.htm By Dr. Maria Hsia Chang, Professor, Political Science, University of Nevada , Reno mariac@unr.nevada.edu In psychology, personality disorders refer to individual traits that reflect ingrained, inflexible, and maladaptive patterns of behavior that cause discomfort and impair a person’s ability to function--including her relations with friends and family. At least ten distinct personality disorders have been identified, one of which is the narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) that the American Psychological Association (APA) classifies as a “cluster B” disorder. NPD is a highly complex psychological - behavioral syndrome that confounds and baffles those close to the afflicted. Once understood, however, one achieves clarity of vision. Socio-biologists maintain that narcissism is natural f...

The Masochistic Avoidant Solution used by Covert N

  Masochistic Avoidant Solution – Embracing the Victim Role The narcissist is always angered by the lack of an adequate narcissistic supply that he has depended on in his life thus far until threatened.   His masochistic N will direct some of this fury inward, punishing himself for  his "failure". This masochistic behavior has the added "benefit" of  forcing the narcissist's closest relationship to assume the role of dismayed  spectators or of persecutors and thus, either way, to pay him the  attention that he craves. Self-administered punishment often manifests as self-handicapping masochism - a narcissistic cop-out.  By undermining his work, his relationships and his efforts, the increasingly fragile narcissist avoids additional criticism and censure (negative supply).  Self- inflicted failure is the narcissist's doing and thus proves that he is the master of his fate. Masochistic narcissists keep finding themselves in self-defeat...

NPD - One of the better Articles

What is a personality disorder? [from Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, 1994, commonly referred to as DSM-IV , of the American Psychiatric Association. European countries use the diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization .] An enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectation of the individual's culture, is pervasive and inflexible, has an onset in adolescence or early adulthood, is stable over time, and leads to distress or impairment. A personality disorder is a pattern of deviant or abnormal behavior that the person doesn't change even though it causes emotional upsets and trouble with other people at work and in personal relationships. It is not limited to episodes of mental illness, and it is not caused by drug or alcohol use, head injury, or illness. There are about a dozen different behavior patterns classified as personality disorders by DSM-IV. Al...
