"The Schizoid Personality: A Deeper Understanding"

I Dream 5 wrote:I'm not sure exactly what you are meaning by this. I think psychology has evolved to the point where we are simply being more detailed on the various personality profiles out there. Whereas before, we never had the tendency to get too deep into what a particular person who tight rope walks is like, as far as a psychological profile. Now we can come up with a profile on these types of people. It is what it is. There's more information out there now...in the form of ideas and theories. These kinds of things are talked about more now. It is what it is.

There is a sort of intuition that, if not shared, would be difficult to convey. It might be enough to say that theories which were not altogether credible when they initially appeared have been taken up by successive generations, come to include women, which they originally did not, and are all delivered with the sincere conviction yet seeming authority that their antecdotal origins do not support, in a field which was originally shouldered by a small group of iconoclasts, now turned full-scale industry, and given other factors of today, but might not.
