Psychological Conditions - Dissociative Identity Disorder

[Captain Con O'Sullivan]

Much of her motivation though was in seeking the approval of a man- her father. If you look at any in-depth biography you'll see that her childhood was remarkably cold and loveless at home.

The only way for Margaret to get any approval at all was by exceeding. It also explains her attitude to success and the devil take the hindmost. She regarded people who coudln't succeed as failures.

Clear as a bell on any reading of her formative years- and also explains the weird soft spot she had for tory male philanderers and adventurers. She was fascinated by Alan Clarke and the like.

All comes back to Margaret's Daddy. Tories hate this when I point it out but any account of her life dealing with her childhood and it sticks out like the sorest of thumbs. Her entire view of life politically where she tried to recreate an atmosphere of her home life in an attempt to show that that was right was really quite revealing.

Psychological collision? The desire for Daddys attention and approval and yet the insistence on trying to recreate society in the image and principles of the home atmosphere ...

Yes there is no doubt that she, like all of us, had her ideosyncrasies but she made it work for her. As you say a childhood lacking affection and in pursuit of male approval was made to overcome all obsticles (I really miss spellcheck) and work for her. Others may and have fallen by the wayside due to exactly the kind of childhood she overcame.

Her attraction to the rogue male is nothing new, laughable!

I think it emphasizes how little we know of the brain and how it affects our emotions. Do they start there. Experts would say yes but I'm not sure. A gut reaction is too well known.

I suspect there are allowed and unnoticed levels of psychosis which can be masked by whatever society deems allowable or approved at any time and then there are those extreme behaviours of which society disapproves at any time.

It does seem to me with the knowledge that people can suffer from mental illness and develop entirely by themselves a coping strategy with the less serious issues that it is possible that a distorted view of the world is much more prevalent across society at any one time then we generally imagine.

No biggeie- except we live in a world where someone who works in a nuclear missile control room has to be psychologically evaluated, obviously, but a Prime Minister's only test to put a finger near the button is in a television studio and at an election. And sociopaths are extremely good at adopting onion skin layers of the appearance of balance.

Hence Tony Blair. And Cheney. And Thatcher. Some at least of these people would not have passed tests devised to examine their balance as a personality. In fact, I read an article by David Owen I think who was a medical doctor with psychiatric training where he was clearly concerned that Tony Balir in particular exhibited some rather alarming signals.

I don't know of any exams that have been tweaked to suit girls, but a specific boy-friendly exam has been introduced to try to get more boys into medical school.

To arms! To arms!

Lack of affection from a father figure usually makes others want to seek out a father like figure who would take them under their wings or a motherly figure depending. For some this can take on a sexual or romantic relationship , friendship or other ways of personally fulfilling a need. There is a even a name on it, the father complex (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father_complex) with such people looking for external validation due to a lack of paternal affection. Its all new territory seen as most of Freuds work has been debunked a lot of it is though laying a foundation for future research and though/ideas. Its an area Im not well up on myself admiteddly !
