I'm posting here, although this isn't about a specific relationship, because there seem to be a lot of wise and knowledgeable people here!
A therapist only has their client's account/'side of the story' to go on. A person with narcissistic traits will always see things as 'not their fault', to the extent of mis-remembering things as they happened if they don't fit with the world view. So I imagine therapy is not a way for a person to recognise narcissism in themselves, because it would be difficult for the therapist to see it, too - wouldn't it?
