Hi, Matilda,

I strongly oppose the current thinking in medicalized psychaitry that equates unruliness, wildness, and "shrewishness" with mental illness. Demonstrative non-conformism and avowed eccentricity are NOT tantamount to narcissism. You go, Kate!

Read what I wrote here - click on the links:

I do regard Kate's "tamer" to be a control freak and an abuser par excellence, although - having been unable to interview or test him - I would hesitate to label him a psychopath.

Sam
