Albert, my predecessors begun studying psychopaths 100 years ago. Which is why I am so interested in CNC’s shorts from a medical viewpoint: Profound pathology here. So much to treat……so little time…….. Those interested in the subject can continue in your link. Perhaps tomorrow the psychopathic CNC shorts will be Visiting their shrink, as they should, and thus Will not be posting here their usual jibberish Thanx albert for your contributions to improving the mental health of CNC shorts, TA ============================================ pitt.edu Historical Overview The first writings by doctors on the subject seem to originate around the beginning of the 19th century[2] [3], but the earliest formal description of what he called "moral insanity" is given by Prichard[4] in 1835. The 19th century physicians recognized that there were some walking among other men who were of sound reason and intellect, but when it came to the moral realm were "deranged". They described individuals who had no sense of right and wrong, no feelings of guilt or shame for wrongdoing, and had a marked propensity to lie, cheat, and engage in other activities which normal society considered reprehensible. During the last 40 years, psychopaths have been more intensively studied and recent research seems to indicate that they actually represent a variant of human beings with abnormal brain function. ======================================================= You said To: donjuan_demarco who wrote (2594)From: albert kovalyov Wednesday, Aug 23, 2000 6:01 PM ETRespond to Post # 2595 of 2595 Donjuan re:He is not fighting the weight of gravity, beware of using quotes as they worse than a1 souse :-)) (no modifications to the original text were needed) "What kind of man is this Don Juan Tenorio?", asks Leo Weinstein in his monograph on the Don Juan legend[1], "Why does he bend all his efforts to deceive women?. . . To the modern, Freud-oriented reader, Tirso's hero is likely to remain enigmatic. . . ." Rather than permit the thought that the enigma is due to the lack of psychological depth and subtlety in the creation of a 17th century priest, I intend to demonstrate that the opposite is the case, and that nowhere earlier in literature is a description of the psychopath found more sharply delineated than in this brilliant play of a Spanish friar named Gabriel Téllez, who wrote El Burlador de Sevilla y Convidado de Piedra, under the pseudonym Tirso de Molina in the first part of the seventeenth century. pitt.edu Regards -Albert
