A psychologist's view of Michael Jackson


Michael may be completely innocent of all accusations.

As a psychologist, I believe he may have suffered from a condition
called 'Arrested Psychological Development', which is caused by
mental trauma he may have suffered in his childhood, for example,
the pressure of being famous at a very young age, and the mental
& physical abuse he suffered from his father.

If Michael did indeed have Arrested Psychological Development,
he will have been 'stuck' in an emotional level of development,
and may not have mentally matured past adolescence.

If this was the case, it would explain his childlike behaviour
in adult life, and because of this behaviour, he may have been
taken advantage of by people around him for monetary gain.
He was an easy target, and still is.

IF ANY EXIST, WHAT ABOUT MICHAEL'S MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS?
SHOULD THEY BE MADE PUBLIC??

They may explain and answer many of our questions, about the way he lived.

How valid is an armchair diagnosis?

Where’d you get your degree, Robby? You don’t sound very well-educated; more like a reader of Psychology Today.

Of course, I acknowledge that no one on the internet lies . . .

clearly he did. Michael was not a well man.
