La construcción de las identidades en el marco de la pragmalingüística, de la psicología cognitiva y de la cortesía verbal: el caso del perverso narcisista

Abstract

The personal identity of self allows an individual to represent oneself, whilst the social identity of self is understood as the whole of perceptions permitting a person to represent him-/herself in relationship with others living in a social system. The identity of the perverse narcissist employs strategies of using and destroying his/her victim. His/her ethos is expressed in a highhanded and megalomaniac manner using resources of seduction and cordiality. Although in public he/she respects the rules of politeness, in private he/she might invade and destroy the victim’s territory. The victim understands the conflictive situations in which he/she is involved as reality without understanding that it is merely his/her own representation of reality, his/her map  of a situation. The victim is stuck with his/her own map of reality as well as being trapped by the narcissist perverse until he/she reaches the conviction that it is necessary to undertake a change in the configuration of his/her cognitions, expressing his/her representations of a situation differently.
