The patient projects his emotional pain and own perceived defects unto a person which somehow confronts or contradicts him. Note the above frequent usage of the words "obsession" like in "obsessive emotional involvement" in our case. Interesting also the reference to "family and children" which plainly expresses an unresolved inner conflict the patient himself experiences daily. However like many personality disorders patients, the person exhibits a highly sensitive and fine-tuned, nearly subconscious understanding of the emotions, motivations and problems of other people. Listening to a PD attacking you can often gain constructive insights about yourself or others even in therapy for the therapist. I suggest we learn something from him, like a) Take CCC discussions less seriously b) Spend less time in CCC - don't log in more often than once per day. c) Refrain from putting in our 2c into every thread
