Abstract: | The present paper introduces the concept of the narcissistically vulnerable system by suggesting that organizations may manifest some of the same pathological characteristics as narcissistic individuals. The public mental hospital was chosen as an example of such a system. Reasons for its vulnerability were suggested and specific defenses, employed at the system level, were discussed. Finally, remedies for the repair of the narcissistically vulnerable system were considered. |
