This chapter reviews the history of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) across the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) editions—from the original inclusion in DSM-III through the proposal for DSM-5. The empirical data supporting our current understanding and diagnosis of NPD are examined and challenges are discussed (e.g., comorbidity, ability to characterize the grandiose and vulnerable variants).
