@AmerLiberal “Many personality disorders are egosyntonic (ie behaviors/values/feelings that are in harmony with or acceptable to the needs and goals of the ego, or consistent with one’s ideal self-image). Treatment can be difficult as the patients may not perceive anything wrong and view their perceptions/behavior as reasonable/appropriate. E.g., a person with narcissistic personality disorder has an excessively positive self-regard and rejects suggestions that challenge their viewpoint.”
