Self-styled Narcissism "Experts", Psychology Credentials
My work and credentials in the field of narcissism: http://www.narcissistic-abuse.com/med...
Real expert: dedication to field, peer-reviewed publications in field, authorship of books or chapters in books, participation in international conferences, editorship of peer-reviewed academic journals in the field.
Academic credentials weaponized: irrelevant when in agreement, crucial when in disagreement.
Academic degrees are needed for treatment, diagnosis, studies/research
Not needed for theorizing (examples), developing treatments (DBT, psychoanalysis).
Not to be confused with expertise or teaching positions (could be based on life achievement, track record, or breakthrough).
Laymen contribute experiences, however anecdotal (case studies, introspection).
