I haven't found the video where he talks in detail about his childhood trauma, but I remember that he said that his mom used to threaten to kill him frequently. I found this video, though.

I listened to that for over 2 mins and had to stop, totally self centred. I now do believe he is a narcissist after watching the video where he was tested for psychopathy as all psychopaths are narcissists as well.
@Gift2humanity Interesting theead; sometimes I have to hear a new bit of information in several ways to really get it.
@Sabrina Thanks for posting this video. Enlightening for me, especially in light of my recent experiences.

Yeah me too, I wondered how a so-called narcissist would want to educate people on narcissism, when real narcs want to keep us in ignorance and make us think its our fault.
It was when he got tested for psychopathy that proved me wrong, all psychos are narcs, so he must be.
I need (to straighten out some current issues) to read up on this narcissism diagnosis. I guess wiki is a good place to start. If anyone knows of a book or accurate website, please let me know.
I've watched a small handful of that Vaknin and there's something very off about him. He appears to be a professor but talks like a contemptuous troll. He's not a serious academic at all is he, but he does have a certain charisma. (Or superficial charm?!! 
) He does occassionally say some interesting things, in a hyperbolic, and unusually brutal delivery. He takes a very unsettling pleasure in dehumanising people. I always feel a great deal of shame after watching a video, like I need a shower. Damn my impulsive curiosity!
