PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER (DDPD) PREDISPOSES SOME MEN TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?

Delusional dominating personality disorder: A modest proposal for identifying some consequences of rigid masculine socialization.
 
By Pantony, Kaye-Lee; Caplan, Paula J.
Canadian Psychology/Psychologie canadienne, Vol 32(2), Apr 1991, 120-135.
 
Abstract
As an antidote to some of the institutionalized sexism in the mental health system the category of Delusional Dominating Personality Disorder (DDPD) is presented as a set of personality characteristics that result from rigid masculine socialization and constitute a serious psychological problem. Literature and research relevant to this phenomenon are also presented. 14 criteria of DDPD are discussed, including the inability to establish and maintain meaningful interpersonal relationships, an inability to identify and express a range of feelings in oneself and others, and difficulty responding appropriately and empathically to the feelings and needs of close associates and intimates.

    It would be nice if you posted the many mental disorders commonly attributed to woman, like PARENTAL ALIENATION DISORDER, and it would also be awesome if you didn't erase peoples comments... But I guess this blog is only for you to make yourself look smart and liked or something egotistical, right? Grow a heart, you are teaching your children to hate their own father?! This blog's a joke...

    I do think it is a problem if PAS is mostly attributed to women because I know many men who commit PAS. Abusive men are always accusing their ex wives of various forms of mental illness--but they seem to get away with that. Nobody brings up the fact that calling your ex wife crazy is actually the same as PAS. Somehow, I find, men are always excusing themselves and our patriarchal legal system goes along with it.

    Dear Anonymous poster: You sound like you may be one of those finger-pointing mother-blaming men. Actually, are you my ex? Please recognize this issue is bigger than you and bigger than gender. Go elsewhere if you are that paranoid. This blog is solid and factual, backed up by a nation of supporters that would make you nervous.
    Cheers,

    My ex accused me of PAS...fortunately the therapist investigated and determined that he had alienated his children on his own (threats of suicide in front of children, blaming their toys on the floor for his reason to leave home, porn left on the kids computer, the list goes on...) The kids visit with him...no overnights. He's such a cheap skate I think he tried to use PAS as a way to gain custody so he wouldn't have to pay child support...Separately, do you know how to properly file a Petition for New Trial? Not to be confused with a Motion for New Trial. And, if I file an incorrect petition, can I file another?

      what is this about?? petition for a new trial?? I was TOTALLY lambasted in my divorce. He makes the 150 plus a year, so WHO could possibly believe he would or could be capable of the horiffic things he mentally and physically did to myself and my children. sucks to be somewhere where you are afraid to stay...and afraid to go...BECAUSE HE WILL FIND YOU!! I agree it isnt just the men...but whoever the victim is...SHOULDN'T have to be MENTALLY abused for 7 plus years after the divorce is final?? HELP! and the money he had taken out of me, lying about the totals...is a joke also.

    I really am not familiar with this information. But I feel for you. This seems like a very difficult situation.

    In cases where children are involved , sometimes one parent truly has the children's interests at heart. If the struggle is protracted ,ongoing etc. obviously something is critically wrong , why can't the parent who does not suffer from a personality disorder simply provide the children with a peaceful environment ? It is discriminating to the loving parent to be lumped into a category of Assholes. Of couse it may be a good way for court appointed officials to imcrease their bank account on the constant litigation required to destroy lives of innocent children and their sane parent .

    In addition not all parents want to ALIENATE their children from the other parent. Please stop the excessive babble , that takes the focus off the real problem. We ALL know where and who the real problem lies, it is not that difficult to see. Fix the real problem .
