Individuals with this disease are able to exercise control and manipulate others, especially partners, friends and family.

In this way, the narcissistic pervert has a personality marked by an exacerbated narcissism and pictures of moral perversion.

The manipulation consists of giving the impression that the dependency is due to the victim’s guilt and weakness and not the work of the pervert.

Pervert victim

The success of mental manipulation depends on the psychological conditions of the victim, who, under certain situations, will be forced to submit to a narcissistic pervert. Because of this, certain psychoanalysts see a complicity relationship between aggressor and victim, despite the latter being treated as an object by the perverted partner.
