486435
Premorbid personality is most often associated with Parkinson's disease, due to the search for these elements - but doesnt always need to occur that way. Among the professionals it is considered a psychosocial factor. Basically it isnt really a personality ... but is looking at the change in personality before the disease (premorbid) compared to after the disease has progressed. There is hope that by identifying early signs of the disease - such as in this case personality changes - that the diseases can better be caught and controlled early. \n\nIn the case of the use of the word as a diagnosis, this definition probably best applies: "By definition the behaviours associated with personality disorder are evident in early life and persist into adulthood. Their develop-ment against the background of an unre-markable Premorbid personality may well point to either functional or organic illness. "\n\nAgain - the study of behavioral patters before and after onset of an illness.

It wouold be something about how humans can be in a situation where they can turn away from being human and behave more like animals, and how we can be in denial about our ability to do that.  It talks about insensitivity, lack of caring about others, selfishness, and self-absorbtion.\n\nIf you need more check Spark Notes and Pink Monkey.\n\nI hope this helps.

Never having to do for themselves.  In other words not having to work or accept responsibility.  According to Carl Jung being spoiled is one of the ways in which a person develops an inferiority complex.

In my experience, people with bad personalities and tempers, people who are b**chy and mean and hateful, after a while their faces take on a permanent sneer and their bodies start moving in an unattractive way.  In other words, if you act ugly, you become ugly.\n Conversly, I know many people who aren't fashion-model gorgeous, but who have great attitudes that improve their appearances by leaps and bounds.

It means we are all very complex and have strengths and weaknesses.  It's a way to remember that any one person isn't better than another- we all have worth and dignity in some way.  Even the bum on the street is superior to me in some way- hell just being able to deal with the elements is something I would have a hard time doing!  A secretary be healthier, a doctor may be smarter, a woman in a mental hospital may be craftier, the second grade student more poetic.  You just never know.

Basically it means that you need someone/something in you life as a means of stability. You need a crutch. Most of the time it's because of self confidence issues. Just a tip(if it's needed) You are NEVER as horrible/ugly/fat... as you think you are. You don't need any ones approval other than your own because in the end you are the only one you can truly depend on.

Found this out there on the web: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/parataxic+distortion\n\nKinda seems like this would apply to people that have just gone through a divorce and are comparing their date to them.  Or current events based on influential factors in your past.  Guess one could say they live in the past.  The good ol' days.

None. If they are truly a psychopath then it is doomed.\n\nBy definition a psychopath is no good with relqtionships and is often dangerous.\n\nThe psychiatric definition of psychopathy describes a personality disorder characterised by lack of empathy or conscience, poor impulse control and manipulative behaviors. Though in widespread, current, use as a psychiatric term, psychopathy has no true equivalent in either DSM-IV-TR's, where it is considered to be closest to antisocial personality disorder, or the ICD-10, where it is similarly related to dissocial disorder. It is hoped that the projected DSM V will begin to address this anomaly.\n\nToday, psychopathy is most often diagnosed using Robert D. Hare's Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R). Hare describes psychopaths as, "intraspecies predators who use charm, manipulation, intimidation, and violence to control others and to satisfy their own selfish needs. Lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they cold-bloodedly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret."\n\nPsychopaths may be responsible for a disproportionately large amount of crime and general misery, but only a few become serial killers, rapists, or child molesters. In these cases there is generally at least one secondary diagnosis.\n\nOutside of psychiatry, the terms psychopathy or psychopath have a broader spectrum of meaning. They are often confused with psychosis or psychotic. Though both terms have similar roots, they have quite different meanings, and psychopaths are no more likely to suffer from psychotic illness than anyone else.

"Avoidant Personality Disorder" is a psych term used to categorise a number of behavioural traits Psychiatry considers improper or abnormal in society. Psychiatry defines these traits as a "mental illness", and promote it as a "disease" that requires "treatment".\n\nIf one considers certain traits to be problematic, relating to shyness or low self-worth and self-esteem, then there are variety of options one can consider without accepting Psychiatry's BS that one has a "mental illness", that one is "ill" and that one should reach for so-called "medication" as a so-called solution.\n \nIt's great, then, that you wish to stay clear of Psychiatry. I would, however, consider dropping use of the term "Avoidant Personality Disorder", as that is an invented psychiatric label that has no substance in science whatsoever.\n\nThere are a number of things you can try to handle your issues. Some work better than others, granted, but it is well worth doing as much investigation as possible before deciding on which path to take.\n\nI had similar issues to what psychs deem "APD", but I handled them swiftly by joining a self-help program and overcoming these barriers through courses and counselling. Amazing stuff. \n\nOther things could include meditation programs, yoga, martial arts, etc. But there are so many different things out there you will certainly need to research them yourself and form your own opinion.\n\nGood luck in your journey!\n\nMike\n\n--\nhttp://groups.msn.com/psychbusters\nDecoding Psychiatric Propaganda

"302" refers to committing someone to an institution or psychiatric ward due to mental instability.  The president seems the most logical choice to me.
