Why Psychology Departments Rarely Push for Curriculum Reform
Vault Entry 07.01 — Institutional Self-Preservation
At first glance, it seems paradoxical:
**Why do academic psychology departments — dedicated to understanding human behavior — rarely push for universal narcissism literacy in education?**
The answer lies in systemic incentives:
- Universities operate within state and corporate funding ecosystems
- Curriculum reform is inherently political — not neutral
- Teaching mass narcissism literacy would destabilize many of the hierarchies that universities themselves depend on
In short, psychology as an academic discipline is often **institutionally captured** — its radical potential neutralized by its own dependency networks.
The Risk of Exposing Abusive Structures
Comprehensive narcissism education would force students to ask uncomfortable questions about:
- The behavior of **their own teachers and administrators**
- The narcissistic incentives baked into **grading and ranking systems**
- The performative nature of **academic success rituals**
- Why certain toxic leadership patterns thrive in **university politics**
Such questioning is existentially threatening to institutions that rely on these very dynamics to maintain internal order.
Vault Entry 07.02 — Professional Risk
Psychologists who do attempt to advocate for mass narcissism literacy face:
- **Funding risks** — their work may be deemed too politically disruptive
- **Career marginalization** — labeled as "extremist" or "unprofessional"
- **Institutional gaslighting** — accusations of bias or inappropriate activism
- **Personal targeting** — especially if their work threatens powerful figures
Thus, most academic psychologists remain silent — or focus only on individual therapy models, not systemic literacy for the masses.
The Resulting Gap
The end result is a tragic paradox:
- Psychology knows the devastating impact of narcissistic abuse
- Yet the field rarely works to **prevent its spread through early education**
- Instead, intervention is largely reactive — after damage is already done
- This ensures that **the narcissistic social operating system persists unchallenged**
This is not an academic oversight — it is an unspoken pact of institutional self-preservation.
