Isn’t there a name for this kind of pathology, where the insane accuse others of having the same motives and taking the same actions they do themselves?

“Isn’t there a name for this kind of pathology, where the insane accuse others of having the same motives and taking the same actions they do themselves?”

(From Wikipedia)

“In psychopathology, projection is an especially commonly used defense mechanism in people with certain personality disorders: ‘Patients with paranoid personalities, for example, use projection as a primary defense because it allows them to disavow unpleasant feelings and attribute them to others’[17].

“Indeed, all ‘the primitive defenses, such as splitting, [projection] and projective identification, are commonly connected with primitively organized personalities, such as borderline personality disorder’[18].

* Narcissistic personality disorder
* Antisocial personality disorder
* Psychopathy”
