People with mental illness represent one of the most deeply stigmatized groups in our culture. Learn more about it here.
Narcissism And Personality Disorders
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

Rolake BabaPublished 4 months ago in PsycheIlluminating the Synonymous Continuum:
This article serves as a synthesis of existing research on Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD), challenging entrenched categorizations by proposing a dimensional continuum between these neurodevelopmental phenomena. Delving further, the article explores the unique capabilities exhibited by individuals with autism, offering an evolutionary perspective that frames these traits as potential indicators of ongoing human evolutionary processes. The implications of recognizing this continuum extend across various domains, including science, medicine, and societal perspectives. By weaving the writings and schools of thought of Sigmund Freud, a pioneer in psychology, and Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, into the narrative, this article seeks to enrich the discourse on the intersection of psychology and evolutionary biology.
The Twelve Step Approach: Outdated or needed now more than ever
This post is inspired by a few recent posts we have seen attacking Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve step groups as outdated and ineffective. While the Beehive Recovery Blog does not promote one particular route to recovery as the only means to achieve sobriety, these posts prompted us to write some educational things about AA, as it has been a core part of many people’s path to happiness and freedom from drugs and alcohol (including most of our blog contributors). Everyone’s journey is different and there are many ways to achieve sobriety. Beehive Recovery Blog hopes to educate as many people as possible on the subject of addiction. This includes providing education in trends of addiction, recovery stories, treatment options and resources, as well as dispelling misconceptions.
