docblackrock Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks Freddy. Here's my take on it... The obsessed Rolex collector is often considered an obsessive-compulsive, but there is actually a wide heterogeneity of possible diagnoses, including post-traumatic stress disorder, paranoia, and various character disorders. The obsession can be conceptualized, according to psychodynamic object-relations theory, as resulting from a damaged or defective sense of self, coupled with problems of impulse regulation and defensive operations. Predominant in the psychology of most obsessed patients is their tie with an Other, a self-object - in this case the evolutionary differences of a minute-sized font used on the dial of a Rolex wristwatch - that helps to stabilize favorable aspects of the patient's unstable self-image. Clinical examples are well documented, and issues of therapeutic alliance, gradual psychodynamic exploration, potential decompensation and violence, and countertransference are all frequently observed in the clinical setting.

chrgod Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 Interesting stuff, thanks for the tips! I would not be surprised if the author also is on the replica boards, discussing cannon pins and "Swiss Made" on Pams.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
