AB  - Depressive symptoms are known to co-occur in patients with narcissistic 
      personality disorder (NPD). From a psychodynamic perspective, perfectionism, 
      shame, and aggression are regarded as prominent in depressed patients. The 
      authors investigated the occurrence of perfectionism, shame, and aggression in 
      patients with NPD, and whether shame is a mediating or a moderating factor for 
      aggression. Two groups of patients with depression, 61 diagnosed with NPD and no 
      other personality disorders (PD) were compared with 56 without any PD, using the 
      SCID screening questionnaire and a semistructured interview. All participants 
      were administered the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale, the Internalized 
      Shame Scale, and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. The NPD group showed 
      significantly higher scores for self-oriented and socially prescribed 
      perfectionism, shame, and aggression (i.e., physical, verbal, anger, and 
      hostility). Shame was found to act as a mediating factor, reducing levels of 
      aggression in patients with perfectionistic traits.
