If, for example, we try to treat the child with antibiotics while the child is continually re-exposed to the pathogenic agent (i.e., the germs or virus in the infection analogy; and the distorted parenting practices of the narcissistic / (borderline) parent in the «

process), the child will simply
become continually re-infected even as we try to treat the disease
process, leading to the creation of a highly treatment resistant strain of the pathogenic agent.
