Abstract
The content and development of schemas and scripts of narcissistic investors are described. These patients view themselves as highly visible, with special talents and destiny, excessive obligation to others, and avoidant of satisfaction. Their investment styles focus on regret, immediate outcomes and the use of recent, salient and irrelevant information. Envy is interpreted as reflecting a market value of the self, reflecting a belief in scarcity of respect and lack of intrinsic value. Developmental analysis indicates threats of abandonment, compensation for earlier inferiority, and family myths of uniqueness. Techniques for challenging narcissistic assumptions and a developmental cognitive treatment of a patient’s schemas and scripts are described.
