An act is the volitional movement of a person's body. Unconscious or instinctive acts are not considered volitional. You have to think it for it to be an act.
2 answers
Non-volitional behavior refers to actions or responses that occur involuntarily, without conscious control or intention. These behaviors are often reflexive or instinctual in nature, such as blinking, sweating, or certain emotional reactions.

When Wundt said volitional acts are creative but not free, he meant that individuals have the power to actively shape their experiences and actions, but this creativity is still subject to various internal and external influences such as past experiences, societal norms, and genetic predispositions. In this context, creative refers to the active and intentional nature of volitional acts, while not free means that these actions are not entirely independent of determining factors.

The test that focuses on volitional incapacity is called the "insanity defense" or the "irresistible impulse test." It is used in legal proceedings to determine if a defendant lacked the ability to control their actions due to a mental disorder at the time the crime was committed.

'Chaimashou' grammatically is volitional/suggestive form of '-chau' which is an auxiliary verb (mostly used in informal context) added to the end of other verbs, adding a sense of "doing something to the end, completion or emphasis". However I have never heard of it being used in volitional/suggestive form. It would mean roughly 'let's.....' where in the blanks goes the meaning of the verb that precedes it.

"will" is used in cases when the user wishes to emphasize the volitional aspects of the utterance/sentence. "Going to" can be considered a kind of default form for referring to the future. The present progressive aspect is often used to denote events scheduled for specific times in the future.

To say what you will do in Japanese, you can use the volitional verb tense. In this case, a base verb for "to cook" is 料理をする (ryouri wo suru), and to make it volitional it becomes 料理をしよう (ryouri wo shiyou). A lot of the time though, volitional tense is use to say "let's do x", so you might want to clarify in this case that you are going to cook, by including yourself as the subject [you can do this using any self-identifying noun and the は (ha) particle]. Another thing to note is that 料理 (ryouri) can also be used with 作る (tsukuru), which has the volitional form 作ろう (tsukurou), however this is used to indicate "making" food and does not have the same "preparation" context that 料理をする has. Thus, using 作ろう would be more like saying "I'll make some food", instead of "I'll cook some food". Finally, Japanese has a few nouns for the generic concept of "food", those are 食品 (shokuhin), 食物 (shokumotsu), and another would be 食べ物 (tabemono, lit: things you eat). Applying all these concepts, we can generate quite a few sentences for saying "I'll cook some food". One such sentence would be 私は食べ物を料理しよう (watashi ha tabemono wo ryouri shiyou).

In law or contracts, amiable means "which acts, or is done by the voluntary agreement of the parties; volitional; willful"
It is often used in the expressions: 'accord amiable' (an accepted agreement); 'séparation amiable / divorce à l'amiable' (an agreed separation or divorce).
It is often confused with 'aimable', a related word meaning friendly.

塩 /shi o/ means salt, 潮 /shi o/ can mean 'salt water' as well as 'tide, current' and 'opportunity'. Also しよう /shi you/ could also be the volitional conjugation of verb 'suru' [generally meaning 'to do'], which would make it mean something like 'let's do....'.
1 answer
To make a verb in Japanese an inclusive "let's" style statement, you use the volitional form. In this case, you are using the transitive form of "to begin" which is 始める (hajimeru). The polite volitional for this is 始めましょう (hajimemashou) or 始めるでしょう (hajimeru deshou), which would be like "Let's begin". Plain form of this is 始めよう (hajimeyou) or 始めるだろう (hajimeru darou) and would have the same "Let's Begin" meaning.

You can say この冬休みで~ (kono fuyu yasumi de) which means "During this winter break" and then to say "I shall" or "I will", you can use the volitional verb tense for what you are planning on doing. Another way of saying this, is to use 予定 (yotei) which is "plan". For example, この冬休みにスキーする予定です。 (kono fuyu yasumi ni sukiisuru yotei desu) means "I plan to go skiing this winter break".

pathetic fallacy
look it up in wikipedia
---------------------------------------------
No, I'm sorry - that's related to the question, but not the appropriate answer.
"Pathetic Fallacy" is the personification of weather, not the reflection of mood in the weather. There is a literary term for when the protagonist is sad, for instance, and it is cloudy outside, or when s/he is happy, it is sunny outside. The weather isn't an actor with human characteristics or volitional impact on the moment, but merely a reflection of what's going on. The movie _Taps_ did this marvelously; as the situation unraveled, the weather deteriorated as well until the situation resolved itself --- no more rain.
I remember it as cosmic synchronicity. When the cosmos in synchronized with an individual's or group's mood

They are tracked, viewing conditions permitting, by a special type of Theodolite called a Pibal Theodolite- or Pilot Balloon theodolite. The Pilot prefix is misleading as it assumes these things are under volitional, manned control, they are not.

Doubt is part of our humanity. As finite beings we should doubt.
1. We are limited in knowledge... so there are many things that we don't know.
2. We are limited in reason... so we cannot be fully confident that we have accurate conclusions based on the knowledge we do possess.
3. We are limited in experience... so we cannot exclude other options that we have no personal interaction with.
Acting as if one does not doubt is not bad either. I may sit in a chair based on the likelihood that it will support me, not the total absence of doubt about its ability to support me. To act despite doubt is faith (volitional certainty... not cognitive certainty).
To lack doubt... is not reasonable. To never have any doubt is probably madness.

Motor neuron disease results in paralysis of the skeletal system because it specifically affects the motor neurons responsible for controlling muscle movement. These motor neurons degenerate and die, leading to a loss of communication between the brain and muscles, ultimately causing muscle weakness and paralysis. Without proper signals from the motor neurons, the skeletal muscles are unable to contract and move, resulting in paralysis.

Jean-JacquesRousseau is one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment in eighteenth century Europe. These views are continually discussed among both feminist and Rousseau scholars about of the individual against societal norms, emotions versus reason. Reason is a faculty of awareness; its function is to perceive that which exists by organizing observational data. And reason is a volitional faculty; it has the power to direct its own actions and check its conclusions, the power to maintain a certain relationship to the facts of reality. Emotion, by contrast, is a faculty not of perception, but of reaction to one's perceptions. This kind of faculty has no power of observation and no volition; it has no means of independent access to reality, no means to guide its own course, and no capacity to monitor its own relationship to facts.

Depends on what you mean. If you're talking western philosophy of ethics, the dialogues of Plato are the right place to start for this question.
No! the above is vague and evasive.
"The Good," as a concept, originates in the nature of beings with a volitional conceptual consciousness - that is: Man. Man's distinctive form of consciousness (rationality) is his primary tool of survival. A bird has wings; the elephant has size; the cheetah has speed; but Man relies upon his forming concepts of what will sustain his life (the good) and what threatens his life (the bad).
Animals employ their distinctive method of survival on a strictly perceptual level. Their five senses provide them with immediate evidence of basic alternatives: eat or sleep, fight or run, etc. Man's conceptual faculty (rationality) allows him to build upon the learning of his ancestors, to plan long-range, to identify benefits and threats to his survival which are not visible to the eye. In discovering what will sustain him, or threaten him, Man must "evaluate" conceptually the facts and circumstances he perceives. A bird can eat wheat, but cannot make bread. Lions can gather in a pride, or wolves in a pack, but they cannot write a Constitution. Animals die of diseases, but Man identifies and seeks to cure them. In "evaluating" facts and circumtances conceptually, Man creates morality, whose fundamental question is: Does [this thing] further sustain Man's life (the good) or does [this thing] threaten Man's life (the bad).
Man can not survive long without employing moral values. The fact that he often "gets it wrong" does not refute the point - it proves it. In history, more people have died as the result of bad morality than from all the diseases combined. "The Good" must be discovered and defined by Man's volitional conceptual consciousness. The Good is that which furthers Man's proper survival. And, survival is selfish.

Several counts of child pornography . There are three felony child porn charges: production of, posession of and dissemination of. The original charges by the Feds were for the production of child porn but he may have been mis-charged. The correct charge would be for posession of while each of the girls involved would be charged with production of child porn (if they were under the age of 18 at the time they comitted the acts). If they were over the age of 18 then they would be charged with misdeameanor lewd and lascivious behavior or with felony production of obscene material. It is doubtful that any RICO laws apply in this case. (See USC Title 18, 2252 to 2256).
Exploitation charges against the man may be appropriate if the girls in question performed their acts under duress but it appears that their acts were conducted in a purely volitional manner. Certain state laws and statutes may also apply.

Absolutely. Faith and doubt are NOT opposites. Rather, faith depends on doubt to have meaning. It is probably wise to separate between faith (volitional certainty) and lack of doubt (cognitive certainty). Absolute cognitive certainty is unrealistic since we are finite beings limited in knowledge, reason, and experience. That is why Soren Kierkegaard described faith as the leaping of a chasm ("leap of faith"). Our knowledge and reason bring us to a point. But that point is not far enough. We see where we want to be, but our knowledge and reason is inadequate to get us there. This inadequacy is our doubt (normal and healthy recognition of our limitations). Faith chooses to act volitionally (of the will) in spite of our doubts.
In the case of a theist, we in faith throw ourselves on the mercy of God... not because our minds are infinite enough to exclude all other possibilities than God. Rather faith accepts our inabilities, and acts despite these. In the case of an atheist, faith is still used, since an atheist is dogged by the same human limitations. He or she simply chooses to leap over the chasm of doubt to a different endpoint.
Kierkegaard's book, "Fear and Trembling" is great (if a bit heavy especially towards the end).
Never let doubt die... it is a healthy part of our humanity. But never let doubt incapacitate you in your quest for the truth.

L. Ron Hubbard discovered the single source of nightmares, unreasonable fears, upsets, insecurities and psychosomatic illness-the reactive mind. In his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health he described the reactive mind in detail and laid out a simple, practical, easily taught technology to overcome it and reach the state of Clear. Dianetics is that technology.
The word Dianetics is derived from the Greek dia, meaning "through," and nous, "mind or soul." Dianetics is further defined as "what the soul is doing to the body." When the mind adversely affects the body, it is described as a psychosomatic condition. Psycho refers to "mind or soul" and somatic refers to "body." Thus, psychosomatic illnesses are physical illnesses caused by the soul.
The mind is basically a communication and control system between the thetan-the spiritual being that is the person himself-and his environment. It is composed of mental image pictures which are recordings of past experiences.
The individual uses his mind to pose and solve problems related to survival and to direct his efforts according to these solutions.
The mind is made up of two parts-the analytical mind and the reactive mind.
The analytical mind is the rational, conscious, aware mind which thinks, observes data, remembers it and resolves problems.
The reactive mind is the portion of a person's mind which works on a totally stimulus-response basis. It is not under volitional control, and exerts force and the power of command over awareness, purposes, thoughts, body and actions.

I believe that the questioner must reside in the state of Florida where the emergency mental commitment act is derived from, and commonly referred to as, the "Baker Act." Such an order is not known by this name in other states.
Virtually all states DO have some provision in their laws which allow the involuntary commitment of persons believed to be in mental distress and who present a real danger or causing imminent harm to themselves or others.
The state of Washington is one of these states.
"A person can be detained on any of three grounds: likelihood of serious harm to others; likelihood of serious harm to self; or most commonly, grave disability. Grave disability is defined as a condition in which a person, as a result of a mental disorder (a) is in danger of serious physical harm resulting from a failure to provide for his or her essential human needs of health or safety, or (b) manifests severe deterioration in routine functioning evidenced by repeated and escalating loss of cognitive or volitional control over his or her actions and is not receiving such care as is essential for his or her health or safety.
Initial Detention
A person can be detained by a Designated Mental Health Professional for up to 72 hours without a court order. The 72 hours does not include weekends or legal holidays. When being interviewed by the DMHP, the patient has the right to speak to an attorney and the right not to participate in the DMHP's evaluation. The legal standard for the initial detention is probable cause." (unquote)

Through the whole 66 books of the Bible-the unchanging and dominating message to us is the same: "to love God with all our hearts, with all our soul, minds & with all our strength. (sample verses: Deut6.5, Luke 10.27, Mark 12.29 & Matt 22.37)
Also, in the Old Testament "to love God" was often associated with "keeping His commandments"
When Jesus demands that we love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, he means that every faculty and every capacity of our being should express the fullness of our affection for God---the fullness of all the ways we treasure him.... "Heart" highlights the center of our volitional and emotional life without excluding thought (Luke 1:51). "Soul" highlights our life as a whole, though sometimes distinguished from the body (Matt. 10:28). "Mind" highlights our thinking capacity. And "strength" highlights the capacity to make vigorous efforts both bodily and mentally (Mark 5:4; Luke 21:36).".... the point is that every faculty and capacity that we have should display at every moment that God is our supreme treasure. (from John Piper)
Jesus answered, "The most important [commandment] is, 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'" (Mark 12:29-30)

Schism. A willful separation from the unity of the Christian Church. Although St. Paul used the term to condemn the factions at Corinth, these were not properly schismatical, but petty cliques that favored one or another Apostle. A generation later Clement I reprobated the first authentic schism of which there is a record. Pauls' exhortation to the Corinthians also gives an accurate description of the concept. "Why do we wrench and tear apart the members of Christ," he asks, "and revolt against our own body, and reach such folly as to forget that we are members of one another?" While the early Church was often plagued with heresy and schism, the exact relation between the two divisive elements was not clarified util later in the patristic age. "By false doctrines concerning God," declared St. Augustine, "heretics wound the faith; by sinful dissensions schismatics deviate from fraternal charity, although they believe what we believe." Heresy, therefore, by its nature refers to the mind and is opposed to religious belief, whereas schism is fundamentally volitional and offends against the union of Christian charity.

1. There are three types of muscle fibers: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle.
2. Skeletal muscles are called voluntary muscles because they are under your own volitional control.
3. Muscle tissue is derived from mesoderm.
4. The word muscle is derived from the Latin musculus, meaning "mouse."
5. Muscles are usually paired - agonist and antagonist - because muscles can only produce force on contractions.
6. There are two types of muscle fibers: fast twitch and slow twitch. Slow twitch fibers can contract for long periods of time, while fast twitch fibers produce quick and powerful contractions but fatigue relatively rapidly.
7. Contraction of muscle fibers is produced by the interaction between actin and myosin molecules.
8. Muscles use a variety of sources of fuel depending on the intensity and duration of exercise. From short and intense to long and lower-intensity exercise, the fuel source changes from ATP, PCr, Lactic Acid Fermentation of Glucose, Aerobic Respiration Using Glucose, Aerobic Respiration Using Fat.
9. Muscles typically store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen, allowing ready access to energy stores in times of energetic activity.
10. In addition to motor axons that produce contractions, muscle cells contain sensory neurons that transmit information about muscle length and tension to the central nervous system.

It can, yes -- but this is not the sole interpretation. ProAna has many different meanings for different people. ProAna websites vary in their position on the ProAna Movement and in particular beliefs/interpretations therein, as do their members. Most sites are intended as places for people who already have an eating disorder and are seeking support. For many, sites like these are their only source of support whatsoever. Anorexia is experienced as intensely private and personal, and often cause sufferers deep shame. This causes most to endure the rigors of the illness in silence and to take measures to hide their condition until their behaviors and/or wasting physique "out" them to friends and family. The Internet affords anorexics the benefit of human connection for two reasons: 1) It affords them a medium in which they have relative anonymity and thus feel safe enough to divulge these feelings; to connect and share with others who also suffer; and 2) it affords them a medium to locate those who endure similarly and thus not suffer alone.
Some sites affirm that anorexia is a lifestyle and not a disease, and this has become the hallmark point of contention on those opposing the ProAna Movement. The truth is that even most of the sites which proclaim this statement recognize that anorexia nervosa is a genuine illness. In this case, claiming it as a lifestyle and a choice can be a means of empowerment and a potent rejection of being victims of an insidious disease. There are those that practice "volitional anorexia," but such individuals typically have underlying eating disordered symptoms and tendencies to begin with, or do not adhere long to the often harsh, ascetic conditions demanded of such a life choice. ProAna advocates generally reject strongly the notion that such sites "recruit" people to become sick; most have recovery information on-site, and most encourage those in danger to seek medical assistance.

One effect of electric current on the body, perhaps the most significant in terms of hazard, regards the nervous system. By "nervous system" I mean the network of special cells in the body called "nerve cells" or "neurons" which process and conduct the multitude of signals responsible for regulation of many body functions. The brain, spinal cord, and sensory/motor organs in the body function together to allow it to sense, move, respond, think, and remember. Nerve cells communicate to each other by acting as "transducers:" creating electrical signals (very small voltages and currents) in response to the input of certain chemical compounds called neurotransmitters, and releasing neurotransmitters when stimulated by electrical signals. If electric current of sufficient magnitude is conducted through a living creature (human or otherwise), its effect will be to override the tiny electrical impulses normally generated by the neurons, overloading the nervous system and preventing both reflex and volitional signals from being able to actuate muscles. Muscles triggered by an external (shock) current will involuntarily contract, and there's nothing the victim can do about it. This problem is especially dangerous if the victim contacts an energized conductor with his or her hands. The forearm muscles responsible for bending fingers tend to be better developed than those muscles responsible for extending fingers, and so if both sets of muscles try to contract because of an electric current conducted through the person's arm, the "bending" muscles will win, clenching the fingers into a fist. If the conductor delivering current to the victim faces the palm of his or her hand, this clenching action will force the hand to grasp the wire firmly, thus worsening the situation by securing excellent contact with the wire. The victim will be completely unable to let go of the wire.

Yes and no. The following texts are submitted for your consideration. Jesus said the first one. The rest are from Pauline epistles and collaborations.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Rom 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1Ti 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Christians find fulfilment of the law in Christ. HE fulfilled the law. When we are in Him, His righteousness attaches to us. But the law needs to be there to admonish sinners, both the volitional and unknowing. So we establish it, we hold it up. Not because it can save us in any way, but because it serves to show those outside of Christ the error of their ways. And, sadly, it reminds us of the error of our ways too.

This is ok: when he said I die daily he meant he no longer lives for himself but every day he becomes closer to God by doing God's will and not his own.
This is not correct: Paul was also referring to the daily possibility of his martyrdom. 1 Corinthians 15 v31. 2 Corinthians 11 details some of the suffering he endured over a period of time.
This is the real answer:
We are all pieces of divinity playing the game of life. The purpose of any real spiritual path is to become closer to the God from which we came. In order to do this we must let go of the false misconception of ourselves. We must come to terms with things. We must come to the realization that we are not our mind, our body, or some external position. In the process of doing this it is as if the old self is dying. You may continue to exist in a certain body and do certain things, but you become unattached to them, as they are no longer you.
This is a continual process, because to exist in this world you must be something. So no sooner have you shed one identity than you have a new one that is closer to God. Unfortunately it is already obsolete and must be let go. Letting go is the reality of spiritual growth, to continually let go of the identity that binds you to this world. This is much like it feels at the moment of physical death, the realization that the person you were is gone and you must let go and face the unknown future.
On the spiritual journey it is possible to look back a week, a month, or a year and see distinct identities that you were but now no longer are. They have all died, as will the identity you wear today. In a way you do die every day.
Clarification & Commentary: I am thinking of the quote from the cartoon character POGO who said "we have seen the enemy and he is us". Ultimately, we are "all . . . [pieces]. . . of divinity" because we are not merely body and soul, but are also spirit. "God is a spirit" and is likewise referred to in Hebrews 12:9 as "the Father of spirits". The specific aspect of our experience that is to "die daily" is condensed in the term "I" when Paul said in Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me". IMHO, the "I" that Paul referred to may be rationally understood as our acquired ego identity and development; in other words, the person you have become over a lifetime of conditioning, how you were rasied, the language you speak, enculturalization, psychological formation, emotional development, and your volitional self determination; this is what we have the proclivity to cling to. The "I" or self reflects the sum of our behavioral uniqueness; including the cognitive (mental), affective (emotional) and volitional (will) aspects of our overall humanness. So, as you "continually let go of . . . [this very] . . . identity that binds you to this world", it is more and more replaced with the indwelling Christ, our entrance into a relationship to the Spirit of God, producing the spirit of life, spiritual mindedness, the fruit of the spirit, peace, joy, discernment, etc: In terms of our spiritual growth, it's like shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear so your car will run more smoothly at a higher speed. Unfortunately, most people do not make the shift, do not die to self, remain fixated and imprisoned to only what they know and what they can grasp, to a lifestyle of self-absorption and consequently remain both in this world and a self-limiting byproduct of it. Our lives become more of an incidental reflections of our culture bound awareness instead of the growing purity of consciousness toward the new life that Christ can and will produce in us. One reason we voluntarily accept Christ is because this frees us from conformity to the world, and provides a powerful alternative; a new and transformed life.
Footnote: I do not quote scriptures to preach, but as textual references to help authenticate my viewpoint in the ongoing 2000 year old dialogue of Christian faith that has lasted since the beginning of the ancient church.

"Faith seeking understanding" was the motto of St. Anselm:
from the website, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy:
Anselm's motto is "faith seeking understanding" (fides quaerens intellectum). This motto lends itself to at least two misunderstandings. First, many philosophers have taken it to mean that Anselm hopes to replace faith with understanding. If one takes 'faith' to mean roughly 'belief on the basis of testimony' and 'understanding' to mean 'belief on the basis of philosophical insight', one is likely to regard faith as an epistemically substandard position; any self-respecting philosopher would surely want to leave faith behind as quickly as possible. The theistic proofs are then interpreted as the means by which we come to have philosophical insight into things we previously believed solely on testimony. But as argued in Williams 1996 (xiii-xiv), Anselm is not hoping to replace faith with understanding. Faith for Anselm is more a volitional state than an epistemic state: it is love for God and a drive to act as God wills. In fact, Anselm describes the sort of faith that "merely believes what it ought to believe" as "dead" (M 78). (For the abbreviations used in references, see the Bibliography below.) So "faith seeking understanding" means something like "an active love of God seeking a deeper knowledge of God."
Other philosophers have noted that "faith seeking understanding" begins with "faith," not with doubt or suspension of belief. Hence, they argue, the theistic arguments proposed by faith seeking understanding are not really meant to convince unbelievers; they are intended solely for the edification of those who already believe. This too is a misreading of Anselm's motto. For although the theistic proofs are borne of an active love of God seeking a deeper knowledge of the beloved, the proofs themselves are intended to be convincing even to unbelievers. Thus Anselm opens the Monologion with these words: If anyone does not know, either because he has not heard or because he does not believe, that there is one nature, supreme among all existing things, who alone is self-sufficient in his eternal happiness, who through his omnipotent goodness grants and brings it about that all other things exist or have any sort of well-being, and a great many other things that we must believe about God or his creation, I think he could at least convince himself of most of these things by reason alone, if he is even moderately intelligent. (M 1)

Sorry to say hope is very low. Narcissistic Personality Disorder While grandiosity is the diagnostic hallmark of pathological narcissism, there is research evidence that pathological narcissism occurs in two forms, (a) a grandiose state of mind in young adults that can be corrected by life experiences, and (b) the stable disorder described in DSM-IV, which is defined less by grandiosity than by severely disturbed interpersonal relations. The preferred theory seems to be that narcissism is caused by very early affective deprivation, yet the clinical material tends to describe narcissists as unwilling rather than unable, thus treating narcissistic behaviors as volitional -- that is, narcissism is termed a personality disorder, but it tends to be discussed as a character disorder. This distinction is important to prognosis and treatment possibilities. If NPD is caused by infantile damage and consequent developmental short-circuits, it probably represents an irremediable condition. On the other hand, if narcissism is a behavior pattern that's learned, then there is some hope, however tenuous, that it's a behavior pattern that can be unlearned. The clinical literature on NPD is highly theoretical, abstract, and general, with sparse case material, suggesting that clinical writers have little experience with narcissism in the flesh. There are several reasons for this to be so: -- The incidence of NPD is estimated at 1% in the general population, though I haven't been able to discover the basis of this estimate. -- Narcissists rarely enter treatment and, once in treatment, progress very slowly. We're talking about two or more years of frequent sessions before the narcissist can acknowledge even that the therapist is sometimes helpful. It's difficult to keep narcissists in treatment long enough for improvement to be made -- and few people, narcissists or not, have the motivation or the money to pursue treatment that produces so little so late. -- Because of the influence of third-party payers (insurance companies), there has been a strong trend towards short-term therapy that concentrates on ameliorating acute troubles, such as depression, rather than delving into underlying chronic problems. Narcissists are very reluctant to open up and trust, so it's possible that their NPD is not even recognized by therapists in short-term treatment. Purely anecdotal evidence from correspondents and from observations of people I know indicates that selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors, such as Prozac, aggravate narcissists' grandiosity and lack of social inhibition. It has also been suggested that self-help literature about bolstering self-esteem and getting what you want out of life or that encourages the feeling of victimization has aggravating effects on NPD thinking and behavior. -- Most clinical writers seem unaware that narcissists' self-reports are unreliable. This is troubling, considering that lying is the most common complaint about narcissists and that, in many instances, defects of empathy lead narcissists to wildly inaccurate misinterpretations of other people's speech and actions, so that they may believe that they are liked and respected despite a history of callous and exploitative personal interactions.
