Summary
The two commentaries reflect a long-standing dichotomy between clinically-experienced researchers who believe clinical personality science should reciprocally inform and be informed by the clinical enterprise (Ronningstam and Russell) and academic researchers who are dismissive of clinical complexity, eschew clinical contexts, and promote their preferred trait model (Weiss and Campbell). The commentary by Ronningstam and Russell reminds us that the clinical presentation and treatment of narcissism is complex and serious. The authors of this rejoinder fully agree. The commentary by Weiss and Campbell is anti-clinical in its stance and fails to effectively connect with the realities of clinical practice. The authors encourage these academic researchers to stop avoiding clinical complexity and clinical contexts, and instead, take advantage of advances in research methods, analytics, and technology to build a truly meaningful bridge between clinical personality science and practice.
