Barrister Nicholas Anderson shares his views on Narcissism - Part Two
Listen now
Description
In this episode Nicholas Anderson, an experienced London barrister,  Dr Supriya McKenna and top UK lawyer Karin Walker discuss why it is still unwise to use the term 'Narcissism' in the family court. They talk about the discrepancies in recognition of NPD between the medical profession in the UK and the USA, and the issues that arise when a narcissist triangulates their barrister with their solicitor. They also discuss the importance of the legal team drafting watertight consent orders to prevent the narcissist from exploiting any loopholes in the order further down the line, and how essential it is that orders are overdetailed in order to prevent this from happening. Karin explains why methods for reviewing the order at certain times, in particular for child arrangement orders, should be built-in to the order, to prevent the need for further court litigation at the hands of the narcissist. The impact of COVID,  and how narcissistic parents have used it to prevent children from seeing their non-narcissistic parent is also highlighted.
