Dr. Banschick’s work is not just theoretical; it’s practical and empowering. His upcoming book on narcissism, yet to be titled, provides a deep dive into the topic.
Here’s What The Book Will Look Like:
The Narcissism Book (Title To Be Determined) is a 2025 release that will open your eyes to the telltale signs of narcissism, a malady that has been around for thousands of years. For instance, gaslighting and Machiavellianism are not new to our times. Whether entangled with a narcissist or struggling with narcissism, you will learn how to emancipate and grow. Written in plain language, referencing science, art and literature, including such artists as Shakespeare and Taylor Swift, the reader will see themselves and others with new eyes.
Like it or not, divorce is often unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to destroy relationships between ex-spouses, nor among parents and their children. You’re worried about your lawyer, money, and, most importantly, your children. The Intelligent Divorce is an easy-to-understand guide for busy parents who want to raise healthy children despite going through a divorce.
