In this volume, Traumatic Narcissism: Relational Systems of Subjugation, Daniel Shaw presents a way of understanding the traumatic impact of narcissism as it is engendered developmentally, and as it is enacted relationally. Focusing on the dynamics of narcissism in interpersonal relations, Shaw describes the relational system of what he terms the 'traumatizing narcissist' as a system of subjugation – the objectification of one person in a relationship as the means of enforcing the dominance of the subjectivity of the other.
Daniel Shaw illustrates the workings of this relational system of subjugation in a variety of contexts: theorizing traumatic narcissism as an intergenerationally transmitted relational/developmental trauma; and exploring the clinician's experience working with the adult children of traumatizing narcissists. He explores the relationship of cult leaders and their followers, and examines how traumatic narcissism has lingered vestigially in some aspects of the psychoanalytic profession.
Bringing together theories of trauma and attachment, intersubjectivity and complementarity, and the rich clinical sensibility of the Relational Psychoanalysis tradition, Shaw demonstrates how narcissism can best be understood not merely as character, but as the result of the specific trauma of subjugation, in which one person is required to become the object for a significant other who demands hegemonic subjectivity. Traumatic Narcissism presents therapeutic clinical opportunities not only for psychoanalysts of different schools, but for all mental health professionals working with a wide variety of modalities. Although primarily intended for the professional psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, this is also a book that therapy patients and lay readers will find highly readable and illuminating.

By page 19 I was riveted with Dr. Shaw's book! I found his in-depth description of the traumatized/traumatizing narcissist both reassuring and disheartening. One of Dr. Shaw's aims is to bring forward the dynamics and impact of relationships (past and present) with those patients that have been in significant relationships with traumatic narcissists. What he doesn't do is criticize traumatizing narcissists; he bravely confronts their destruction and states the reality of the possibility of change. Dr. Shaw balances a tone of psychoanalytic and humanistic compassion with relational theory and practice. I found his chapter on Traumatic Narcissism and Couples especially clarifying, particularly regarding the projective system and enactments within and between couples and psychotherapists. As a psychoanalytically oriented and relational clinician this book has illuminated the painful and complex legacy of traumatic narcissism and provided a way of thinking I find helpful regrading empathy and subjectivity.By Tracye A. Polson
