Peter Cook Called "Narcissist" During Christie Brinkley Divorce Trial

Peter Cook, the estranged husband of Christie Brinkley, was said to be narcissistic by a court psychiatrist during their publicized divorce trial proceedings on Tuesday.

Dr. Stephen Herman, the court psychiatrist, said that both Brinkley and Cook need therapy. Herman said that Brinkley needs therapy as "an outlet for her anger and feeling of betrayal" by Cook, who had an affair with 18-year Diana Bianchi, which ended their marriage.

Herman said Brinkley, who's been married four times, also "needs to start working on deeper issues," including "her choice of male figures."

Herman met 11 times with the parents, their 13-year-old son and 10-year-old daughter. He said Peter Cook is a "narcissist" who constantly needs to have his insatiable ego fed. Cook, a Hamptons architect, "needs constant reassurance that he is a terrific guy," Herman said in the report.

Prior to the scandal, Brinkley described Cook to an interviewer as "just the greatest father."

The primary focus of the trial has been on Cook's teenage mistress and his Internet sex activities. He has apologized for both.

The court heard testimony last week from Cook, 49, and Diana Bianchi, who was 18 during their affair in 2006. Cook said he gave Bianchi a $300,000 payoff, had sexual encounters with her in his office and Brinkley's Hamptons homes, and spent thousands of dollars on online pornography.

Narcissism is a borderline personality disorder, first diagnosed by Sigmund Freud, who named it after Greek myth of Narcissus, who was doomed to fall in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

Narcissism, the borderline mental illness, is the act of extreme self-love, self-centeredness and self-regard.
