There are three possible theories. The first relates to the possible genetic and hereditary connections that can be linked to other mental disorders. There is also the possibility of a social connection with the early developmental environment that the patient has grown up in. The third theory focuses on the psychological and coping mechanisms created that may result in Histrionic Personality Disorder. Normally the disorder has an early adult onset and is not seen until the person reaches their late teens or early twenties. Genetically speaking, there is no scientific way to confirm that Histrionic Personality Disorder is in fact passed on. What can be seen is some of the underlying disorders that may cause or enhance this issue. There is also the fact of the familial relations having the same order and giving credence to the possibility that it has a genetic connection. Some other disorders can be linked. Usually there is a family history of anxiety, depression, hyperactivity disorders, narcissism, and other emotionally based conditions. These conditions, separately, do not mean so much in connection with Histrionic Personality Disorder; however, taken together, they present a possibility that there is a higher likelihood of hereditary disposition.

Download or read book Histrionics written by Thomas Bernhard and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990-03-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he is best known in the United States as a novelist, Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard has been hailed in Europe as one of the most significant and controversial of contemporary playwrights. George Steiner has predicted that the current era in German-language literature will be recognized as the "Bernhard period"; John Updike compares Bernhard with Kafka, Grass, Handke, and Weiss. His dark, absurdist plays can be likened to those of Beckett and Pinter, but their cultural and political concerns are distinctly Bernhard's. While Austria's recent political history lends particular credibility to Bernhard's satire, his criticisms are directed at the modern world generally; his plays grapple with questions of totalitarianism and the subjection of the individual and with notions of reality and appearance.

Download or read book Actresses and Mental Illness written by Fiona Gregory and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actresses and Mental Illness investigates the relationship between the work of the actress and her personal experience of mental illness, from the late nineteenth through to the end of twentieth century. Over the past two decades scholars have made great advances in our understanding of the history of the actress, unearthing the material conditions of her working life, the force of her creative agency and the politics of her reception and representation. By focusing specifically on actresses’ encounters with mental illness, Fiona Gregory builds on this earlier work and significantly supplements it. Through detailed case studies of both well-known and neglected figures in theatre and film history, including Mrs Patrick Campbell, Vivien Leigh, Frances Farmer and Diana Barrymore, it shows how mental illness – actual or supposed – has impacted on actresses’ performances, careers and celebrity. The book covers a range of topics including: representing emotion on stage; the ‘failed’ actress; actresses and addiction; and actresses and psychiatric treatment. Actresses and Mental Illness expands the field of actress studies by showing how consideration of the personal experience of the actress influences our understanding of her work and its reception. The book underscores how the actress can be perceived as a representative public woman, acting as a lens through which we can examine broader attitudes to women and mental illness.
