RIGHT MAN SYNDROME
The following describes a psychiatric condition known as "The Right Man Syndrome"-
The "Right Men" are domestic household tyrants who terrorise their families but they can be found in all fields of life: in business, politics, art, culture.
They are poor communicators, appalling listeners, tend to see everything in "black and white" and demonstrate a profound inflexibility.
As a result, they tend to be hopelessly out of date with the current times in terms of fashion, relationships, social and cultural trends.
They also often carry an erroneously fixed and out-of-date view about whom a person is and there is nothing that person (whether it be their son/daughter, neighbour, colleague) can do to convince them otherwise.
The "Right Man" thinks he's right because he carries "secret knowledge".
The "Right Man" tends to believe that he knows people better than they know themselves.
His catch-phrase is: "There is nothing wrong with me; it is everyone else that is at fault."
The "Right Man" must always have his way and is afraid of losing face above all ("How dare you talk to me this way?"): anything that might be an indication of his infallibility or erroneous ways is something that he can never admit.
And if things don't exactly go his way, he may try to scare people into submission by breaking into outbursts of rage.
