Kernberg's concept of the malignant narcissist defines a realm of pathologic personality characterized by the coexistence of marked narcissistic and antisocial traits. This realm comprises what may be seen as a continuum of cases: persons at one end whose inhumanity and propensity toward evil are of modest proportions; at the other, persons manifesting extreme degrees of these qualities. The author has used the biographies of notorious murderers in constructing a scale of malignant narcissism. This scale should aid in defining more clearly the limits of amenability to psychotherapy.
克恩伯格的恶性自恋者概念定义了一个病理人格领域，其特征是显著的自恋和反社会特质并存。这个领域包括一系列可能被视为连续体的案例：一端是那些不人道和邪恶倾向程度较轻的人；另一端是表现出这些特质极端程度的人。作者在构建恶性自恋量表时使用了臭名昭著的杀人犯的传记。这个量表应该有助于更清楚地界定心理治疗的适用范围。
