Interesting article, I couldn't find enough information on the studies, there just isn't time. These quotes from the article stuck out at me:

and
Those with the disorder can be grandiose in their thinking, have a limited capacity for empathy, see themselves as victims, and take many things as signs of disloyalty, said Adams, who also founded Emerge, a Boston counseling center for men who abuse their partners.
"When they suffer what's called a narcissistic injury -- when their ego is wounded, so to speak -- then they strike out with narcissistic rage, like they want to destroy the person who hurt them," Adams said.

also from the article:
Adams said that in cases of fathers killing their children there is almost always a domestic violence link.
