Excerpts fm case study #629 Brian, caucasian male, 57yrs:


Subsequent assessments indicate a pathological self-centredness rooted in supremacy delusion.

Brian presents with a fundamental hatred of anything and anyone that fails to recognise and support his supremacist beliefs.

An irony of this condition is that even when indulged, the client will still hate.
This comes from low self-esteem (usually hidden unless being used in conjunction with self-pity/manipulation routines).

The genesis of these dysfunctions is invariably infantile emotional incest, usually with the mother for males of this type.

Indicators here are intense competitiveness toward other males, failure to bond or provide nurture for females (other than the mother), and an inability to form and retain bilaterally useful partnerships with either sex.

Usually the father of such is covertly hated and scapegoated by the dominant mother, most commonly a closet lesbian/bi-sexual.

Brian’s mother outlived his father by a number of decades, particularly common in chronic cases of the type.

While one or other parent is still living the opportunity for redress and recovery is good, given sufficient motivation. 

Otherwise prognosis is poor.

End play is generally increased self-pity and bitterness combined with dumping of the mother-hatred issue on any unsuspecting female drawn into sociability.
With Brian this transpires through a veneer of cordial largess and affability followed by treatment akin to a client-prostitute relationship.

With males, relationships are limited to xenophobic intensity with identical types either as dominant or submissive. 

Roles interchange easily as a function of competitive power play between the type.
