Recommended reading for research and recovery from narcissistic abuse:

The following books are a portion of many available, covering the subject of Cluster B personality disorders, narcissistic abuse, smear campaigns, flying monkeys, et al, including guidance on self-care and recovery.

I also recommend the authors’ websites, blogs, and YouTube channels.
