    ( 2020) : Marcela Fernández López
    This study explains the differences between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Behaviors, assessing the impact on professionals and people in general when they are able to distinguish between the two. It also explores the effectiveness of arbitration as a method of dispute resolution when dealing with a case where one of the parties presents NPD traits. The research was conducted by epistemology-pragmatism philosophy to give practical information and possible solutions to adequately deal with the social phenomenon (NPD) with an abductive approach looking to generate or modify alternatives, with mono-qualitative method through the survey, we collected answers from 112 participants where almost the sixty percent of the participants answered “no” when asked if they knew that NPD is a mental condition. The time horizon used was crosssectional since it was a particular timeframe (3rd to 5th March 2020), during this particular period, the initial quantity of the required participants for this research was reached; finally the data collection was achieved and analysed. Arbitration as an adjudicatory method, as concluded in this research, is an effective alternative method when dealing with parties with NPD. NPD is classified as a high conflict party in ADR´s principles and practice.
