Title: MIND GAMES
Post by: VAM on August 03, 2002, 02:34:26 AM
With all the talk the last few days about hypnotic trances and also the recessive memory of Maggie Evans, I decided to stay within scope.  ::) Which character do you think would make a good subject for psychoanalysis and why? Any character from any storyline may be selected?
(If you are like me,  you will not be able to narrow it to just one character.)

David Collins--a very disturbed kid.

Carolyn too could use psycoanalysis--to deal with her directionless life (at least in the early eps.)

Joshua Collins was a very complex, compelling character who could have used a lot of therapy to deal with his his repressed emotions.

I think Elizabeth would be a good candidate for therapy (ignoring the recent trip into death phobia).  Before recently, she was the epitome of the in control woman.  At the same time, she couldn't control her daughter or her husband (well, not without a poker).  She was someone who was probably had to deal with a lot of pressure growing up, seeing that she was the one to inherit everything.  I believe that she would prover herself to be full of pent up frustrations and possibly dreams she couldn't fulfill because of what others expected of her.

?!?  Decisions...decisions....

Angelique.   She's too obsessed with Barnabas.   Sort of the Fatal Attraction in 1795.  No guy is worth that many emotions especially when he snubs her.  "A woman scorned...."

Barnabas.  Too obsessed with Josette to turn Maggie into her.  Find another love.  

;D

SPOILER if you haven't seen 1840...




I for sure think Gabriel Collins could use some psychoanalysis. He was a wicked murderer of his own family members, and lied that he couldn't walk, for several years.

Abigail Collins definetely could have used some good therapy lessons. The woman was a religious fanatic who went around practically accusing everyone she knew to be in league with the devil. Everyone except the "good Reverend" that is. :)

MEEP!!!! I was soooo glad when they killed him off!! They did kill him off, didn't they? I hope so. That was so long ago ...... but HE. WAS. SOOOO. ANNOYING!!! *rips her Gabriel voodoo doll to tatters*

I can see a grown-up David Collins needing some sort of therapy....."it all started in my childhood ... my father never loved me much, and mother never kept in touch ... that's why I shy away from human affection .... " [lol, Savage Garden song .... sorry] I would love to read something about the inner-mind of Carolyn. Actually, I may just have to write it if I don't find anything. Oooooo won't you all be in trouble then? [vryevl] [twch2]

Quentin.   I would let him know how a certain conversation a certain someone who brought him to life had with me was Freudian as all hell.

Red Root Inn, anyone?

I'd say Matthew Morgan, Burke Devlin, and Willie Loomis so that they can figure out why they are "two-faced".  Okay, bad one...   ::)

I think the list would be shorter if we were to decide who *didn't* need psychoanalysis...very short indeed!

How about the Reverend Gregory Trask- a resentment-filled control freakin' so-and-so if ever there was one.  I could go on and on, suffice it to say that I agree that everyone on the show could use a little psychotherapy.  Except the ghosts, you couldn't couch 'em even if they needed it!

Petofi - who could stand to deal with the post-partum depression concerning his hand.

.....You see Dr. Couch, my parents didn't love me :'(.

My life was dominated by my sister, who herself was not loved.
I married to appease my over-bearing family, but, alas, my [size=8]wife[/size] did not love me.

I therefore have never learned to love myself.

I have a son, but alas, I do not love him.

I tried again to marry, curious Dr., but I do not know why I felt so compelled to marry; she was a total stranger.

This marriage apparently has failed also.

Well Dr., what can I do?











BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT ROGER ;D
