Danse Macabre - The Dynamics of Spousal Abuse
The abuser may be functional or dysfunctional, a pillar of society, or a peripatetic con-artist, rich or poor, young or old. There is no universally-applicable profile of the "typical abuser". Yet, abusive behavior often indicates serious underlying psychopathologies. Absent empathy, the abuser perceives the abused spouse only dimly and partly, as one would an inanimate source of frustration. The abuser, in his mind, interacts only with himself and with "introjects" - representations of outside objects, such as his victims.

Imagine {The pairing of steroids and the high profile athlete}
Are many of baseball's best players such as Jason Giambi and Barry Bonds enhancing their abilities with steroids? Will proof that this is so permanently damage the game? Have steroids irreparably infected Track and Field as well? Can we believe the records owned by stars such as Marion Jones and Tim Montgomery were honestly earned? Are the recent feats by many of today's superstar athletes simply too good to be naturally true? As the evidence mounts and accusations fly, one wonders who will go down and who will ultimatley be vindicated. But one thing has already been made clear. Steroids are no longer the sole domain of bodybuilders seen in muscle magazines with necks the same width as their waists. Apparently Wheaties has been surpassed as the Breakfast of Champions.
