In this video, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, introduces his "Iceberg Hypothesis," which uses an iceberg as a metaphor for a pathological narcissist. Like narcissists, an iceberg only shows a small portion of itself on the surface, while hiding most of itself beneath the water.

Narcissists, especially covert narcissists or someone with antisocial personality disorder (sociopath), often portray themselves as kind, respectful, giving, and loving on the "surface," but in reality, they are hiding the dark, controlling, selfish and angry side of themselves "beneath the water."
