| Start teaser: ""He may well also be an egomaniac, although he professes to be puzzled when he reads that: "Clearly, I am a person who suffers from a lack of ego. I mean, if I felt better about myself I wouldn't look this way."" Moore, in an Australian newspaper. Actually, there is no contradiction here. Both aspects are explicable once we look at what is classified as Nacissistic Personality Disorder. The personality disorders (which also include the antisocial personality, the borderline, the histrionic and others) are not delusional. Rather, they are disorders in personality or character. If we could talk in the language of ethics rather than of medicine, we might say that personality disorders comprise patterns of knowing, evil conduct" End teaser. Enjoy. |
