Publisher's Synopsis
This is in Black & White - There is a Colour Version also.
Now the secret's out about John & Me, as revealed in Book 3's ending, I feel I should go immediately into John's Male Visual Realm.
Something unknown to even those close to him was that he once applied to become one of the British Board of Censors, which metaphorically would bring the Satyr Bar to an all-time low level, bearing in mind his attitude and excursions, or should that be his incursions into the Female Field, and so all sorts of depravity would be given a Censors Clean Bill of Health!?
And John's Physical Health was without blemish, but not his Mental Health, which often regressed into Smutty Adolescence when it came to any Female Form Association, or lack of it due to his Full On-ness!
And Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) is a type of long-term psychotherapy, might have been thought to apply to his actions - more information inside.
Here, an example from the Anna Freud Organization for which they run Accredited Training Courses (John & I both had links with) - more information inside.
Here is their latest: -
MBT has been adapted for the treatment of people with antisocial personality disorder (MBT-ASPD). This course will outline how mentalizing can contribute to the understanding of ASPD and how mentalization based treatment can be used to treat people with ASPD in health care and criminal justice systems.
I thought it relevant in view of John having worker for both the Home Office & The Ministry of Justice, where he gained first hand knowledge of the Therapy at Work, whether successful, or not, his opinion is not relevant here.
His Main Field of Expertise was as part of the Dangerous Severe Personality Disorder Offenders realm: the original White paper, then the trials thereafter, again, whether successful, or not, his opinion is not relevant here.
But the point being is that the harm, less physical, but more often than not in his case, more the mental which he caused should have resonated with him, with his Personal Knowledge of what the Courses/Trials above were attempting to mitigate/attenuate.
But, and it was His Big But, his Accumulated Depression meant he knew not who to Trust - And it was here that I stepped in.
But, and it was My Big But, what was I letting myself into/in for, as all our sessions would be we-two alone, behind closed doors!
