Sandra Brown writes: "...pathology is pathology–meaning that each personality disorder has it’s own problems and challenges in relationships but pretty much holds to the Central Three that I talk about related to pathology:
1. The inability to grow to any true emotional or spiritual depth.
2. The inability to sustain positive change.
3. The inability to have insight about how one’s behavior negatively effects others.
Given those 3 aspects of personality disorders, we can easily see how the 10 different types of personality disorders can be linked together by these three ‘inabilities.’" ~Excerpted from
Mutual Pathology: gasoline & fire, posted on 03-03-09A few notes from the audio link on Sandra's magazine:
Who can change and who can't? Sandra's books educate people to spot signs that someone is 'pathological';i.e.: incapable of changing their behavior. Children of pathological parents learn to normalize abnormal behavior. A parent's abnormal behavior was modeled early in their lives and they learned to justify, rationalize, and deny a parent's behavior which sets them up to do the same thing in their adult lives.
