Protesters

Written by on October 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment

There is no one answer as to whom the Protesters are.

They are composed of those who just follow, the “Herd Instinct” ( Just Follow The Group)

Others have a legitimate gripe about the government.

Still others are hurting economically and wish to express their frustration somewhere.

Still others are the Neurotic Group that have a need to rebel against authority (Represents Father Figure)

They wish to over throw the establishment whoever they are (or represent).

There are a variety of others who maybe prejudiced and really express racial or religious antagonism.

Lastly the really disturbed ones ( possibly ambulatory schizophrenia) who don’t know what they are there for.

…… Always something to think about

Narcissism Pleasure vs Reality

Written by on September 26, 2011 · Leave a Comment

A recent article in the latest Atlantic magazine was entitled “ Sex and the married politician “

In explaining this phenomenon ( re: about a dozen different men ), the usual references were power, omnipotence and deviousness.

From a psychological point of view one the most important ingredients is narcissism.

There are two kinds of narcissism ; primary and secondary.

Primary narcissism is a more immature ( unhealthy ) type in which the individual’s point of view is that everyone is here to serve me ( much like the infant – I cry and you come ).

Secondary narcissism is a more mature give and take .

It is based on what we call “ The’ realty principle’ as opposed to the “ Pleasure principle’ of primary narcissism.

The pleasure principle includes I will have what I want when I want it!

There is a special omnipotence that bespeaks being privileged.

ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION

Written by on September 9, 2011 · Leave a Comment

In this economic climate it is easy to see how stress can lead to anxiety and/or depression.

The temptation is to get a quick fix with Drugs.

But by and large drugs only temper the painful feelings and do not resolve them.

Someone once said the only shortcut is a long cut!

Psychotherapy (counseling) cannot only help but may permanently resolve the underlying issues that the current climate has brought out.
