There is no greater leigtimacy to these classifications than those that are deemed flakier.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is each of these coping mechanisms is a response to events that cannot be rationalized within our human awareness and they occur within the context of our socialization, and most often during our formative years. <br /><br />Marian's observation is significant. In most cases there is an absence of self love occurring with the individual who is afflicted by a neurotic or psychotic response to cope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-41247947767469429632010-09-07T07:25:07.615-07:002010-09-07T07:25:07.615-07:00I agree that the labelling means that you don'...I agree that the labelling means that you don't have to look any further for the root of the problem.

People who commit crimes are usually more or less unconscious about the fact that they are responsible for all of their actions. If they're labelled or not. The system, the juridical in co-operation with the penitentiary one, should ask why -- and "mental illness" is not a cause, but a circular argument to escape having to look for the real cause -- and help people take responsibility. With the DSM being "evidence" in the court room, the system does the opposite. And it works both ways, yes.<br /><br />BTW, self-love isn't the same as being in love with oneself, the latter of which characterizing narcissism. Actually self-love is about the opposite of being in love with oneself. Huge blunder, FT!Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.com
