Here are two short case descriptions of delusions: the former example is a report of erotomania, the delusion that one is loved by someone of higher status (e.g., often a celebrity); the latter example is a report of Cotard delusion, the delusion that one is dead.

  Narcissistic Mothers and Their Children &lt;br&gt; By Sam Vaknin &lt;br&gt; Author of &amp;quot;Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited&amp;quot; &lt;br&gt; &lt;p&gt;Interview granted to Samantha Cleaver for YourTango.com &lt;br&gt; Q. What are some common ways that a mother&#39;s narcissism can affect her daughter&#39;s relationships? &lt;br&gt; A. Depends on how narcissistic the mother is. Narcissistic parents fail to recognize and accept the personal autonomy and boundaries of their offspring. They treat them as instruments of gratification or extensions of themselves. Their love is conditioned on the &amp;quot;performance&amp;quot; of their children and on how well they cater to the needs, wishes, and priorities of the parent.
