Sample text

Instead of relying upon the general population’s normal psychology as a criterion of mental health, we could learn how individuals function on a psychological level who are able to resist the pressures of authority, who are able to think critically for themselves (a` la Arendt), and who have the courage to respect and act upon their own sense of individual autonomy. Such a person would share in important ways characteristics identified by Maslow (1970, 1971) in his paradigm of a “self-actualizing individual,” which offers a seldom-to-be-found, detailed model of positive mental health that avoids reliance upon a standard of psychological normality.

THE DISPOSITIONAL PATHOLOGY OF PSYCHOLOGICAL NORMALITY I’ve used the phrase ‘the evil of banality’ to place the doctrine that we’ve come to associate with Arendt in deliberate contrast with the more encompassing claim that psychologically normal people are predisposed, when the situation is right, to inflict harm on others and often on themselves in the process. In this chapter, when I speak of “predispositions” or “propensities” what I mean is that, with the exception of many criminals, bullies, and other people who have already behaved violently or abusively, the majority of psychologically normal people are “sleepers”—that is, they are dispositionally inclined, when the situation is right, to aggression and destructiveness.

In contrast, an individual functions at a level of excellence when, in comparison with others, the level of attainment reached is truly superior. It will be important later on that we recognize this distinction between ‘optimal’ and ‘excellent’. Although we are not accustomed to thinking in these terms, what would it be to be in excellent (or optimal) psychological condition? The customary equation of mental health with psychological normality, perhaps coupled with not having any noticeable mental problem, fails to tell us anything significant about excellent (or optimal) psychological functioning.
