Vanessa Reiser: 自恋型虐待是一种复杂且普遍存在的问题,它不仅仅发生在浪漫关系中,也可能发生在任何类型的人际关系中,例如柏拉图式友谊、家庭关系和工作关系等。自恋型虐待的施虐者通常表现出极度自负、寻求关注,并且缺乏理解他人观点或情绪的能力或意愿。他们会在贬低和赞美受害者之间循环往复,这种循环发生在“爱的轰炸”中。“爱的轰炸”是一种操控策略,施虐者会用过度的奉承、赞美和友好的谈话来吸引受害者,并在信息收集阶段积累知识,以便在贬低阶段使用。在贬低阶段,施虐者会批评、辱骂、威胁受害者,并侵犯他们的隐私。煤气灯操控是自恋型虐待中常见的武器化行为,旨在使受害者感到困惑,改变其叙事或视角。其他操控手段还包括未来伪造、冲动、恐吓、说谎、被动攻击、投射、惩罚、肤浅、身体虐待和缺乏同理心等。孤立是自恋型虐待中的一个反复出现的主题,它会使虐待持续并恶化。由于缺乏研究和报告,目前无法确定有多少人成为自恋型虐待的受害者,但受影响的人数可能非常庞大。自恋型关系可以被视为“一人邪教”,因为两者都使用了相同的机制,例如“爱的轰炸”、煤气灯操控、孤立和贬低受害者等手段,并重复谎言以混淆受害者。自恋者和邪教领袖都通过控制环境、制造无力感、操纵受害者的社交环境等方式实施虐待。“一人邪教”可以存在于各种人际关系中,而且自恋者和邪教领袖很难被发现。为了自救,最好的办法是断绝联系,并寻求专业人士的帮助。理解自恋者和邪教领袖的策略相同,有助于保护自己并走向治愈。离开自恋者或邪教领袖后,受害者往往最为脆弱,平均需要七次才能成功离开虐待关系。结束自恋型虐待需要多方共同努力,包括预防教育、心理健康资源、法律和刑事支持等。改进对自恋型人格障碍的评估,并重视同理心,对于预防自恋型虐待至关重要。自恋型虐待的幸存者可以实现自己的全部潜能。
