English to Spanish translations [PRO]
Psychology / sociopaths
English term or phrase: inflated self-entitlement
Context:

As in all narcissistic/sociopathic disturbances, an inflated self-entitlement informs, indeed drives, the abusive mentality. Not only do abusers feel entitled to what they want, but also how they want it, and when and where they want it.

Thanks

piensa(n) que se lo merece(n) todo


Explanation:
I think it's a really complicated expression, and I would prefer to rewrite the whole sentence:
Como en todos estos tipos de trastornos, el narcisista/sociópata piensa que se lo merece todo, lo que le lleva a tener una mentalidad abusiva.

The last part also: lo que propicia, e incluso dirige su mentalidad abusiva.

la convicción de que todo le es debido/de tener derecho a todo


Explanation:
Utilizaría el sentido estricto de entitlement:

entitled to prep (rightfully permitted to) con derecho a loc prep
WordReference English-Spanish Dictionary © 2014:

Omitiría el adjetivo correspondiente a "inflated" porque me parece innecesario: la convicción de que todo nos es debido es desmesurada por definición.

Pero no hay ningún inconveniente en incluirlo: "la convicción desmesurada/la desmesurada convicción etc."
