   Personality Disorder Information Sheet (This is from the DSMIV)
   Narcissistic Personality Disorder
   A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

   Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements).

   Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.

   Believes that he or she is “special” and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions).

   Requires excessive admiration.

   Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.

   Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.

   Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.

   Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her.

   Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes.

   Associated Features:

   Depressed Mood
   Dramatic or Erratic or Antisocial Personality

   Differential Diagnosis

   Some disorders have similar or even the same symptom. The clinician, therefore, in his diagnostic attempt has to differentiate against the following disorders which he needs to rule out to establish a precise diagnosis.

   Histrionic Personality Disorder
   Antisocial Personality Disorder
   Borderline Personality Disorder
   Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
   Schizotypal Personality Disorder
   Paranoid Personality Disorder
   Manic Episodes
   Hypomanic Episodes
   Personality Change Due to a General Medical Condition;
   Symptoms that may develop in association with chronic substance use.

   Cause:
   The cause of Narcissistic Personality Disorder is unknown at this time, but several theories are being investigated. There is some evidence that genetic predisposition and other biological or biochemical factors are involved for some people. Psychological factors are also involved for most people.

   Treatment:

   Treatment of Narcissistic Personality Disorder usually consists of individual, group or family therapy, structure (scheduling one’s time so that there are no long periods of unplanned time), support, medications, limit-setting, consistent rules, education about the illness, social skills training, behavior modification and learning more effective communication and coping skills. Inpatient or day hospitalization may be necessary when symptoms make the patient a danger to self or others

   Counseling and Psychotherapy [ See Therapy Section ]:

   Most psychiatrists will, as a practical matter, treat most of their severely narcissistic patients for symptoms related to crises and relatively external Axis I diagnoses, rather than in an effort to address the personality disorder itself. The therapist must be aware of the importance of narcissism to the contiguity of the patient’s psyche, refrain from confronting the need for self-aggrandizement, and help the patient use his or her narcissistic characteristics to reconstitute an intact self-image. Positive transference and therapeutic alliance should not be relied upon, since the patient may not be able to acknowledge the real humanness of the therapist but may have to see him/her as either superhuman or devalued.

   Fits Dubya like a glove. The man thinks everything is about him. He also has aspects of Antisocial Personality Disorder. I’ll list that one next.

   Personality Disorder Information Sheet

   (From DSMIV)
   Antisocial Personality Disorder
   There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 18 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:

   Failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest.

   Deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
   impulsivity or failure to plan ahead.

   Irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
   reckless disregard for safety of self or others.

   Consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations.

   Lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another

   The individual is at least 18 years old (under 18 see Conduct Disorder ). There is evidence of Conduct Disorder with onset before age 15 years and the occurrence of antisocial behavior is not exclusively during the course of Schizophrenia or a Manic Episode

   Associated Features:

   Depressed Mood.
   Addiction.
   Dramatic or Erratic or Antisocial Personality.

   Differential Diagnosis:

   Some disorders have similar symptoms. The clinician, therefore, in his diagnostic attempt has to differentiate against the following disorders which need to be ruled out to establish a precise diagnosis.

   Substance-Related Disorder;
   Schizophrenia
   Manic Episode
   Narcissistic Personality Disorder
   Histrionic Personality Disorder
   Borderline Personality Disorders
   Paranoid Personality Disorder
   Adult Antisocial Behavior.

   Cause:
   The cause of this disorder is unknown, but biological or genetic factors may play a role. The incidence of antisocial personality is higher in people who have an antisocial biological parents. Although the diagnosis is limited to those over 18 years of age, there is usually a history of similar behaviors before age 15, such as repetitive lying, truancy, delinquency, and substance abuse. This disorder tends to occur more often in men and in people whose predominant role model had antisocial features.

   Twin studies have confirmed the hereditability of antisocial behaviour in adults and shown that genetic factors are more important in adults than in antisocial children or adolescents where shared environmental factors are more important. (Lyons et a11995)

   Cadoret et al (1995) studied the family environment as well as the parentage of adoptees separated at birth from parents. Antisocial Personality Disorder in the biological parents predicted antisocial disorder in the adopted away children. However, adverse factors in the adoptive environment (for example, “marital problems or substance abuse) independently predicted adult antisocial behaviours.

   This description relates to many of Dubya’s dubious behaviors, as well. Having one type of personality disorder does not preclude having aspects of another one. What does it matter? Well, it does help to predict what Dubya will do next, and elucidates some of his behaviors. He is the worst president we have ever had, because he is one of the most emotionally dysfunctional.
   It shows why he thinks he is the “Decider”, and why the suffering his decisions cause dont faze him and never will.

   Their title points out that Gore smacks Bush around a little, basically telling him that his childish and selfish obstinance is killing people

   but that doesn’t matter – life of NIPs (not important persons) don’t count – and as long as the cronies can bath in Dollars the war is just “WAD” (works as designed)

   Israel seems to show how it should be – war shouldn’t “work”, and the warmongers should be forced to live near the war – both together force the fuhrers to rethink that “wonderful” tool “brute force”. Because it seems that Israel realizes the costs of war – in money, life and (!) reputation and not to forget loss of deterrence – and therefore starts to become willing to consider the boring, harsh reality of peace
