  Is it surprising that you find what you're looking for when you enter into an article with a preset expectation? You all should try having a more open mind. The prospect that someone with NPD might actually be capable of making a positive difference on people outside themselves is promising.

  Most of the article is the author asking the person questions about himself; I'm not sure how anyone could give proper answers to those questions without using first person pronouns.

    Brewdad could refer to myself in the third person.

      > I spoke to one such person, a 46-year-old man who was diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder in his mid-30s and was treated for years afterward. [I’ll note here that while his English is pretty much perfect, it is his second language; he is Dutch, and lives in the Netherlands.] That conversation, which has been edited for length, is below. It seems pretty clear to me that the author is not the person who's answering the questions. EDIT: I see what you're saying, but it would be more strange to answer questions like that than in the first person. I don't think I've ever read an interview where the interviewee didn't respond to questions in the first person.
