Buie, MD (Wellesley Hills, MA); Robert Lindsay Pyles, MD, President-Elect (Wellesley Hills, MA) Neurotic patients possess the capacities required for maintaining their basic self-stability. Personality disordered patients do not. They continuously need to depend on others to provide them with the capacities they need in order to maintain basic self-stability. Clinical experience and relevant literature indicate that these capacities are five in number. They concern self-realness, self-holding so as not to experience aloneness, self-worth, self-love, and identity. This presentation focuses on understanding the consequences of deficits of these capacities along with treatments that can enable patients to develop these capacities for themselves. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |

Volkan, MD (Charlottesville, VA); Author: Anna Ornstein, MD (Brookline, MA) In view of the frequency with which terror acts are being committed, this paper suggests the possible psychological changes individuals may have to undergo when committing mass murder.
