  • Victimology Exploring the Experience of Victimization Distribute Or John Sutcliff’S Entire Adult Life Has Been Devoted to the Sexual Seduction of Teenage Boys
    CHAPTER 3 Victimology Exploring the Experience of Victimization distribute or John Sutcliff’s entire adult life has been devoted to the sexual seduction of teenage boys. At the age of 33 he was arrested and sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy who was a member of his “Big Brother’s Club.” By his own admission he had sexually molested over 200 “members” of his club. John’s favorite activity with these boys was giving and receiving enemas. John became involved with the fetish while enrolled in a residential boy’s school where many of the boys were subjected to enemas administered in front of the entire dormitory. After his release from prison, John became much more “scientific” in his efforts to procure victims. A “theoretical” paper he wrote indicated that father-absent boys werepost, “ripe” for seduction, and he would entice them with his friendly ways and with a houseful of electronic equipment he would teach the boys to repair and operate. He weeded out boys with a father in the home and would spend at least 6 weeks grooming each victim. He used systematic desensitization techniques, starting with simply getting the boys to agree to type in answers to innocuous questions and escalating to having them view pornographic homosexual pictures and giving them “pretend” enemas, actual enemas, and enemas accompanied by sexual activity. With each successive approximation toward John’s goal the boys were reinforced by material and nonmaterial rewards (friendship, attention, praise) that made the final events seem almost natural. copy, John’s activities came to light when U.S.

  • PSYCHOPATHY in ADOLESCENCE: CAUSES, TRAITS and RISK BEHAVIOURS Maria Vincenza Minò Brindisi, Italy
    Psychiatria Danubina, 2019; Vol. 31, Suppl. 3, pp 443-446 Conference paper © Medicinska naklada - Zagreb, Croatia PSYCHOPATHY IN ADOLESCENCE: CAUSES, TRAITS AND RISK BEHAVIOURS Maria Vincenza Minò Brindisi, Italy SUMMARY Psychopathy is a personality disorder defined by a specific set of behaviours and personality traits evaluated as negative and socially harmful. The modern conception of Psychopathy was introduced by Clerckley in "Mask of Sanity" (1941), and refined by Hare with the construction of the PCL (1980, 1991), a gold standard instrument for the evaluation of the disorder. Manipulation, deception, grandeur, emotional superficiality, lack of empathy and remorse, impulsive and irresponsible lifestyle, persistent violation of social norms and expectations (Cleckley 1976, Hare 2003) are some behavioural aspects that characterize psychopathic subjects. With this work we intend to study in depth the causes, the traits, in particular the so-called callous-unemotional and risk factors that lead a teenager to become a psychopathic subject. The diagnostic tools useful for the assessment and for the possibilities of intervention that can be put into practice will also be described. Key words: psychopathy - adolescence - DSM-5 - traits - assessment * * * * * INTRODUCTION Secondary psychopaths The word psychopathy literally means "mental Secondary psychopaths, on the other hand, have illness" (from psyche, "mind" and pathos "suffering"). severe emotional problems; their delinquency is attri- According to Cleckley (1976) and Hare (1991, 1993), buted to the social isolation that characterizes them a psychopath is an individual who presents antisocial (Bartol 1995).

  • Understanding Relational Dysfunction In
    Psychology Research, August 2019, Vol. 9, No.8, 303-318 doi:10.17265/2159-5542/2019.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Understanding Relational Dysfunction in Borderline, Narcissistic, and Antisocial Personality Disorders: Clinical Considerations, Presentation of Three Case Studies, and Implications for Therapeutic Intervention Genziana Lay Private Psychotherapy Practice, Sassari, Italy Personality disorders are a class of mental disorders involving enduring maladaptive patterns of behaving, thinking, and feeling which profoundly affect functioning, inner experience, and relationships. This work focuses on three Cluster B personality disorders (PDs) (Borderline, Narcissistic, and Antisocial PDs), specifically illustrating how relational dysfunction manifests in each condition. People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) experience pervasive instability in mood, behavior, self-image, and interpersonal patterns. In relationships, they tend to alternate between extremes of over-idealization and devaluation. Intense fear of abandonment, fluctuating affect, inappropriate anger, and black/white thinking deeply influence how they navigate personal relationships, which are often unstable, chaotic, dramatic, and ultimately destructive. They have a fundamental incapacity to self-soothe the explosive emotional states they experience as they oscillate between fears of engulfment and abandonment. This leads to unpredictable, harmful, impulsive behavior and chronic feelings of insecurity, worthlessness, shame, and emptiness. Their relationships are explosive, marked by hostility/contempt for self and partner alternating with bottomless neediness. Manipulation, lying, blaming, raging, and “push-pull” patterns are common features. Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) exhibit a long-standing pattern of grandiosity and lack of empathy. They have an exaggerated sense of self-importance, are self-absorbed, feel entitled, and tend to seek attention. Scarcely concerned with others’ feelings, they can be both charming and exploitative.

  • An Investigation of Attention-Seeking Behavior Through Social Media Post Framing
    Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications- Volume 3, Issue 1 – Pages 25-44 An Investigation of Attention-Seeking Behavior through Social Media Post Framing By Francine Edwards The rise in the use of social networking sites (SNSs) and the very nature of a medium which provides users with a platform to create both a favorable image for ones’ self and the relationships that are perceived as valuable is worthy of investigating as these relationships are becoming as complimentary or as necessary as interpersonal or face-to-face contact. Social networking sites are a means of conveying ideas, dissent, comradery, and emotions all crafted by a user with the intent of emoting a specific response from their followers or friends. The current research suggests that SNS users seek various types of feedback as a result of the communication created by them in the form of social media posts. For the purpose of this research Facebook was used to a) collect data about social media usage b) analyze predictors of social behavior and c) look at the connection between attention-seeking behavior and social media. Keywords: attention-seeking, affirmation, feedback, social media, communication Introduction Narcissism, defining our self-worth, and validation has always been a part of human nature; however social media has created digital and seemingly endless means of having our basic needs for acceptance met. Attention addiction has increased relevance in today‟s social media environment. While most social media users do not display narcissistic tendencies, what can be found on social media are self-promoting or personal platform displays; and intentional displays designed to emote attention with words.

  • Histrionic Personality Style and Disorder
    HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY STYLE AND DISORDER THE HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY TYPE IN A NUTSHELL “The essential feature of HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER is pervasive and excessive emotionality and attention-seeking behavior.”1 Individuals who have a HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY TYPE may engage in relationships that contain heightened emotions. They typically pull people in through emotionality (including overt seductive behaviors) and then blow up the relationship in overly dramatic emotional outbursts. After the explosion, they will reel the person back in for another round on their emotional roller coaster. The cycle continues over and over with close or intimate contacts. A CLOSER LOOK Sometimes therapists have a hard time differentiating between BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER and HISTRIONIC PERSONALITY DISORDER. There is a possibility that the two can co-exist. The combination of both conditions is usually considered as the decomposition of the histrionic personality structure. In one respect, the differences between the two are a matter of degree. Both include a fear of being alone and a fear of abandonment – with the borderline being frantic in their efforts to avoid those conditions. Both are also impulsive – again, with the borderline being potentially dangerous in their impulsive actions. In another respect, however, there is a very significant difference in self-image. The histrionic individual has a higher level of functioning in the respect that they are interactive with their interpersonal environment. They openly use attention-seeking efforts to seek and maintain relationships.2 The borderline is much more frantic in their relationship efforts. Also, the borderline individual has a propensity toward paranoid ideations and severe dissociative symptoms.

  • Seduction, Coercion, and an Exploration of Embodied Freedom
    SEDUCTION, COERCION, AND AN EXPLORATION OF EMBODIED FREEDOM Jeanne Marie Kusina A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2014 Committee: Donald M. Callen, Advisor Scott C. Martin Graduate Faculty Representative Marvin Belzer Michael P. Bradie © Copyright 2014 Jeanne Marie Kusina All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Donald Callen, Advisor This dissertation addresses how commodification as a seductive practice differs from commodification as a coercive practice, and why the distinction is ethically significant. Although commodification is often linked with technological progress, it has nonetheless been the focus of critiques which assert that many commodification practices can be considered coercive and, as such, are ethically suspect. Markedly less philosophical attention has been devoted to seductive practices which, despite their frequency of occurrence, are often overlooked or considered to be of little ethical concern. The thesis of this essay is that, in regard to commodification, the structural discrepancies between seduction and coercion are such that in widespread practice they yield different degrees of ethical ambiguity and without proper consideration this significant difference can remain undetected or ignored, thus establishing or perpetuating systems of unjust domination and oppression. I argue that a paradigm shift from coercion to seduction has occurred in widespread commodification practices, that seduction is just as worthy of serious ethical consideration as coercion, and that any ethical theory that fails to take seduction into account is lacking a critical element. Drawing on Theodor Adorno’s aesthetic methodology as an approach to working with coercion and seduction within the framework of commodification, I begin by clarifying the main concepts of the argument and what is meant by the use of the term “critical” in this context.
