Megalomaniac - A Search for Love and Wisdom
I would rather worship you, than worship any temple, image or book. The neighbor opened the door and asked him what he wanted. The man said, I wish to smoke. Can you give me a little fire? The neighbor replied, O.
Narcissistic personality disorder
What the heck is wrong with you? You have taken so much trouble to come and wake us up at the middle of the night, while in your own hand you have a lantern! The God that human beings so keenly seek, lives within the human biology, yet they wander hitherto searching for it. It is time you start loving them. Toleration may make you a decent person, but it is love that makes you a true human being. Then have a leap of faith, and let your passion guide you throughout the process.
Now it is time for Religion to do the same. And the moment any religion does that, the eternal battle between Science and Religion would slowly start to disperse. For example, a Neuroscientist can be the smartest man or woman on earth in his understanding of the human mind. He may know all the neurochemical changes underlying an outrageous behavior of a person. The term "narcissistic personality structure" was introduced by Kernberg in [36] and "narcissistic personality disorder" first proposed by Heinz Kohut in Sigmund Freud commented, regarding the adult neurotic's sense of omnipotence, "this belief is a frank acknowledgement of a relic of the old megalomania of infancy".
We are justified in assuming that this megalomania is essentially of an infantile nature and that, as development proceeds, it is sacrificed to social considerations". Edmund Bergler also considered megalomania to be normal in the child, [40] and for it to be reactivated in later life in gambling. Whereas Freud saw megalomania as an obstacle to psychoanalysis , in the second half of the 20th century, object relations theory , both in the United States and among British Kleinians , set about revaluing megalomania as a defence mechanism that offered potential access for therapy.
In popular culture, narcissistic personality disorder has been called megalomania. In the film To Die For , Nicole Kidman 's character wants to appear on television at all costs, even if this involves murdering her husband. A psychiatric assessment of her character noted: A Norwegian study concluded that narcissism should be conceived as personality dimensions pertinent to the whole range of PDs rather than as a distinct diagnostic category.

Archived from the original on 23 October Retrieved 10 December Retrieved 28 June Archived from the original on 24 September There is a problem though. When Kevin Dutton , the author of this compulsive quest into the psychopathic mind, tried the question on some real psychopaths, not one of them came up with the "second funeral" motive. The admirable quality of this book is Dutton's refusal to accept easy answers in one of the more sensational fields of popular psychology.

He comes at the challenge of deconstructing the advantages and dangers of psychopathic behaviour with two distinct motivations. First, the academic rigour of a research fellow at Magdalen College, Oxford. Second, with the more human need to understand the character of his late father, a market trader in the East End, a man with an "uncanny knack of getting exactly what he wanted", who could sell anything to anybody, because to him "there were no such things as clouds, only silver linings".
Psychopaths, we learn, are the ultimate optimists; they always think things will work in their favour. Dutton's curiosity takes him from boardrooms and law courts to neurological labs. He tries in different ways to get inside the heads of those individuals for whom killing has been a way of life — from Bravo Two Zero 's Andy McNab to the video game-obsessed inmates of Broadmoor's secure wards. In his effort to get to their truths he has a tendency to write with the one-tone-fits-all breeziness of the excited enthusiast; at certain points his insistent chattiness jars. Though he demonstrates few of the characteristics of psychopaths himself, none of the limited range of cold fury of Viking "berserkers" or the wilful icy detachment of brain surgeons, he is in thrall to their possibilities.
