Pathological Narcissism Psychosis And Delusions
One of the most important symptoms of pathological narcissism (the Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is grandiosity. Grandiose fantasies (megalomaniac delusions of grandeur) permeate every aspect of the narcissist’s personality.

Personality Testing Myth And Realities

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, fourth edition, text revision [American Psychiatric Association. DSM-IV-TR, Washington, 2000] – or the DSM-IV-TR for short – describes Axis II personality disorders as “deeply ingrained, maladaptive, lifelong behavior patterns”.

Why Do People Think Mind Control Is Bad

Serial Killers
Countess Erszebet Bathory was a breathtakingly beautiful, unusually well-educated woman, married to a descendant of Vlad Dracula of Bram Stoker fame.

Can A Dream Tell Us Of The Future

How To Be An Anonymous Cult Leader
Here’s an interesting question. How does a hyper paranoid maniac like JK Ellis create a cult like following and still manage to protect himself from over-exposure? Think about it!

Narcissism And Personality Disorders
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”.

He described patients who lacked impulse control, often raged […]

Are You Under Mind Control Why Not
How do you determine if you’re under mind control? It’s an interesting question that you can pass around at a party or among friends. The fact is that you just don’t know. In fact everything you are doing could be a response that fits perfectly into another persons plans. If you take that as a […]
The Psychopath And Antisocial
Roots of the Disorder Are the psychopath, sociopath, and someone with the Antisocial Personality Disorder one and the same? The DSM says “yes”.

The Psychology Of Torture
There is one place in which one’s privacy, intimacy, integrity and inviolability are guaranteed – one’s body, a unique temple and a familiar territory of sensa and personal history. The torturer invades, defiles and desecrates this shrine. He does so publicly, deliberately, repeatedly and, often, sadistically and sexually, with undisguised pleasure. Hence the all-pervasive, long-lasting, […]
