Another
strategy is to cancel the outside world and replace it with ourselves. This
strategy explains 3 types of psychiatric disorders:
·
when the love for ourselves
prevails, people can develop a narcissistic personality disorder.
·
When the comparison with
ourselves prevails, people can develop a paranoid personality disorder.
·
When the love for ourselves and
the comparison with ourselves have similar weights, we have a psychotic
disorder.
A
characteristic common to these disorders is the closure in oneself and the
perception of the world as threatening or inappropriate in relation to one’s
expectations.
