This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 103 2002 First Paper On Serendip Multiple Personality Disorder Diana La Femina When you were growing up, did you have an imaginary friend? Did Mom and Dad have to set a place for Timmy at the table and serve him invisible food, or did all your aunts and uncles have to pet your imaginary puppy when the came over to the house? That's just pretend, though, kids having fun. So is a child pretending that they are someone else, forcing their parents to call them Spike, convinced they have a Harley even though they're only five. But what if this were an adult, someone who should "know better" convinced that they are someone else. If this were to happen, society would label them as crazy or delusional. Or, maybe, this adult suffers from a Multiple Personality Disorder. Multiple Personality Disorder (or MPD) is a psychological disorder where a person possesses more than one developed personality. These personalities have their own way of thinking, feeling, and acting that may be completely different from what another personality is like

Its recurrence threatens the precariously balanced house of cards that is the narcissistic personality. By Sam Vaknin, 11/1/2002 The study of narcissism is a century old and the two scholarly debates central to its conception are still undecided. Is there such a thing as HEALTHY adult narcissism (Kohut) - or are all the manifestations of narcissism in adulthood pathological (Freud, Kernberg)? Moreover, is pathological narcissism the outcome of verbal, sexual, physical, or psychological abuse (the overwhelming view) - or, on the contrary, the sad result of spoiling the child and idolizing it (Millon, the late Freud)? The second debate is easier to resolve if one agrees to adopt a more comprehensive definition of "abuse". Overweening, smothering, spoiling, overvaluing, and idolizing the child - are all forms of parental abuse.

I will give these documents to a person, ore persons, who can challenge the new mental health act. The public has a right to be protected from danger but individual rights must also be protected." Responding to treatment A client's inability to respond to treatment is a significant factor in diagnosing this disorder, however the treatment itself is never called into question and is assumed by psychiatry to be correct. It's therapeutic value is not questioned by an independent party. Abusive people are attracted to organisations that deal with vulnerable people and the mental health service does not have proper safety checks to weed out abusers within the system. The therapist is allowed to shout, be dismissive, ignore a client's wishes, dress in a sexually provocative manner and is also allowed to display violent and sexually provocative gestures. This behaviour is permitted, even if the client has gone for psychiatric help after reporting crimes committed against them (the client), to the police.
