For psychologists, psychiatrists and students of the like?

Question

If you could study the mind of any celebrity, historical or political figure who would you choose and why?

Answer 1

i would study the mind of Einstein, because i think hes a fasciniating person

Answer 2

Judges do the ruling. Psychologists and psychiatrists could supply expert opinion yet do no longer "rule" or make the astonishing criminal judgment. madness is a criminal term, no longer a psychological term. Ph.D. psychologists (scientific) have 5-7 years of psychological practise. Psychiatrists have much less. Psychologists can now in some states prescribe meds with further practise. I particularly have been a psychologist for 30 years.

Answer 3

Tony Blair. If only to convince myself that such evil is really possible. Makes me sick just thinking about it actually. But it would be interesting to know his real reasons for taking our country into this farce of a war, and causing so much hatred between the human beings who share this planet. Not that it is only his fault, there is a much wider agenda, always has been, but just looking at this guy creeps me out and I would love to know what goes on in his sick mind, altough the though scares me a bit too. (I am a studying criminology with psychology and sociology, thinking about 'crimes of the powerful'). I believe he is a war criminal and should stand trial as such.

Answer 4

Hitler - because he actually, although maybe not completly right in the head - is an absolutely fascinating character. I would like to know what prompted him to switch from love to hate of the Jews, his history, and how he managed to get so many people on his side that he pretty much took over Germany for the most part of a decade.

And Salvador Dali - this is a bloke who from the age of 13 was pouring hot coffee and milk down his chest because he thought it felt nice. He shaved his armpits to the point of bleeding and painted himself blue to "catch" Gala - his wife.

Fascinating bloke. x

Answer 5

Jim Morrison

Answer 6

Virginia woolf, Sylvia Plath and Anne Nicole Smith.

Answer 7

Do not laugh but John McCrilick (race tick tack man) I honestly think he is full of front and his wife is the brains and trousers and the boobie is one clever woman and he is a huge characature. Roll him on my couch and he will open up like a baby lol

Answer 8

Michael Jackson....no seriously...he's got alot of issues which stem from the lack of a childhood that he had when he was growing up....when he became independant of his family he reverted back to a child in his mind...building the neverland ranch....i truely believe that this occurance explains his unappropriate obsession with children.....a mix of his adult post pubesent urges and his desire to be around children of the age that his mind wants to be at. basically a 12 year old trapped in an adults body. that's my hypothesis anyways.

Answer 9

The Roman leader Nero. He was completely insane, kicking his first wife to death and actually taking part in gladiatorial spectacles dressed as wild animals, attacking his victims with his bare hands, his sword. He also liked to have victims be tied to chairs and be forced to listen to his lyre playing- it was noted that women gave birth whilst being made to listen, and one man killed himself with concealed poison. Nero was very enthuiastic about the arts, but insanely jealous of anyone better than him, and he put someone to death because it was said that this dancer was better than him.
He was also noted to have wanted sexual relations with his own mother Agrippina, and when she committed suicide, he examined her naked body and remarked 'I never knew I had such a beautiful mother'.
He was a genius but a twisted one, who has been compared to Hitler. He would make for interesting psychoanalysis.

Answer 10

Sylvia Plath. She had a huge talent but was ultimately destroyed by depression, I would love to have been able to give her some counselling!
