For the DSM-IV, written over 22 years ago.
“Published on May 18, 2013, the DSM-5 contains extensively revised diagnoses and, in some cases, broadens diagnostic definitions while narrowing definitions in other cases. The DSM-5 is the first major edition of the manual in twenty years.”
And his "The antidote to a dystopic Trumpean dark age is political, not psychological." sounds like a "not my job" cop out.
Here is a DSM IV vs. DSM 5 Personality Disorders comparison chart. The current diagnosis still requires, "Significant impairments in self (identity or self-direction) and
interpersonal (empathy or intimacy) functioning." (top of page). The specific diagnostic criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder are about half way down.
By the way, you can have fun diagnosing friends, family, and yourself with this chart!
