The problem with psychological formulations, although a valid form of knowledge, is that they most often emphasize the negative.Thus we diagnose people-narcissists,paranoids,psychopaths,bipolars etc.This does help to understand but can lead to a very negativistic view of the world.I suggest you try something new. Every time you diagnose a friend or colleague or family member with one of those psychopathological formulations try to find a positive diagnosis as well. (Even the term diagnosis represents a distortion as it is drawn from the realm of medical pathology!). So in the Bipolar person you could see a”force of nature” or a “spiritual visionary”. In a narcissist you might see “an acute sense of aesthetics” or”a dynamo of self-confidence”. You can already see that the terms are difficult to come-by since this form of thinking has not been well developed.The psychopath may be”fearless and full of courage” and the obsessional may be “hard-working with high standards”. Try it out and get back to me with your results.This exercise should leave you at least with a lot less cynicism than the average psychologist and social worker.
