HI GM - Did you see our page on the left from Dr. Leedom? You might email her as I understand that for special people at our site she is providing at little or NO cost her book which she sends via email - however, you will need to give her the detail of my recommending this to you.
Check out the page on the left.

Inheritability - nature vs. nurture is a high factor about peole with AsPD. - I have this link as a reference to the statistics as NPD/ASPD are close cousins.
The only study I am aware of that examined genetics and narcissism suggested that 64% of the variation was accounted for by genetics (Livesley WJ, Jang KL, Jackson DN and Vernon PA, Am J Psychiatry 1993 150(12):1826-1831). Of course, studies using other measures of narcissism are necessary in order to confirm or modify this figure. Nevertheless, narcissism and narcissistic responses to stress and trauma likely have significant genetic bases�?If our children experience voicelessness during childhood, the risk of narcissism (for those predisposed), depression, and anxiety rise commensurately later in life. However, if we can find a way to give our children “voice�?and the implicit respect that goes with it, we can lessen the chance of a generalized narcissistic response to people and the world at large.
