"Defying any psychological diagnosis" does not have to mean anything, more than "Defying scientific explanation" means we simply lack the tools or ability to deal with everything in our world.
Agreed, but these cases were particular in that way and, in other ways, as well, which defined a pattern that Dr. Peck felt he was seeing.
I can send you, through freepmail, a bit of the text which talks about what Dr. Peck felt he was seeing. Are you up for it ?
Sounds interesting. I would be remiss, however, if I didn't note that it sounds exactly like a psychological diagnosis.
Well, ... what would you expect ?
Wow. Truly, wow. Tell me more about these parents? What caused them to be so deformed?
Well, ... actually there isn't much more to tell. Dr. Peck did schedule another interview with them where he attempted to subtly suggest to them that they could benefit from counseling (like the counseling Bobby was then receiving), but they would have no part of it. They maintained that they didn't need counseling and that they didn't believe in it, anyway. That was the last intercourse Dr. Peck had with Bobby's parents.
He reported that, once Bobby was out of his parents' home, he gradually came out of his depression, and last that he heard, was doing fairly well.
Sure. Though if it's in another easy format I'll send you my real email address.
Well, ... actually there isn't much more to tell.
Well, the parents are where the story is at. I'm not interested in the victims, like Bobby. His mental problems are obviously the result of his surroundings. We can't expect him to have a well-developed conscience or anything.
What made the parents that way is the real story.
