Abstract
The note argues that parental Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) can cause significant, yet often invisible, emotional harm to children, comparable to physical abuse. It advocates for legal intervention to address this form of maltreatment, emphasizing the need for systemic changes to detect and remedy emotional abuse caused by NPD, while respecting parental rights and privacy.
