Common Axis II disorders include personality disorders:
Everybody has a personality… and, it’s not a “disorder!”
It’s a chapter that’s been, mercifully, dropped from the
DSM-V! Axis II is no longer essential
inasmuch as it is not to be treated, but respected, and not to be diddled with. Hippocrates was referring to this as not to
be harmed. If you must mention it to a
client, say your piece and then step back and let the patient heal on his own,
without interference from the shrink…
Historically, we can still wax
romantically over these colourful names, that horoscopically have equivalents
in western and eastern cultures, monthly and a yearly cycles, respectively,
oriental and occidental, so to speak, and the preferred actual reason that
never, well almost never, the twain shan’t meet, until Coca-Cola and Wal-Mart
met Mao and the Mongolian horde and the coffers filled to the brim and
overfloeths. A clever horoscope writer
will realize that all of us react in different ways, that there were 12 disciples
and 12 male siblings in Jacob’s family and mixed siblings in my good friend,
Jacob’s, Mennonite family in Manitoba.
Incidentally, as another index of the pervasive male chauvinism inherent
in the Pentateuch, and the Writer of the same, Joseph was actually one of 13
siblings, Dinah being the sister that’s hardly ever mentioned. Should you care to read between the lines,
Dinah, like Eve, was misrepresented as the originator of Original Sin! [SIC!]
In actuality, adding Jesus to the disciplined new Christians, adds up to
a group of 13, not 12, one lucky and one unlucky number… Jacob added to Dinah and her twelve brothers,
of course, adds to 14, a lucky double 7, of which there were Ramses II’s dreamt
of cows, 7 fat and 7 skinny, which Joseph interpreted and acted upon and made
him the most powerful Egyptian-Muslim Jew, ever! Freud and Adler paid no attention to
numerology, while Jung, the Catholic Psycho-Analyst, madeth of these a big
deal…

i tend to write stories by creating in my mind 2 or more characters with distinct personalities and putting them together, so to speak, and seeing what happens. i've always suspected that folks like philip roth, mordecai richler, henrik ibsen, steven king and steven spielberg, as well as alfred hitchcock and that famous swedish director/screen writer, do something similar, eh? i'm also guessing that mozart, stravinsky, poulenc, prokofiev, and beethoven also did such things in music, while picasso, brach, chagall, klimt, kadinski and van gogh do similar things with paintings.
