.....those with personality disorders perceive the world as a much more threatening place than most people do. Therefore, their perceptions of other people's behavior is often distorted -- and in some cases delusional. Their world view is generally adversarial, so they often see all people as either allies or enemies in it. Their thinking is often dominated by cognitive distortions, such as: all-or-nothing thinking, emotional reasoning, personalization of benign events, minimization of the positive and maximization of the negative. They may form very inaccurate beliefs about the other person, but cling rigidly to those beliefs when they are challenged -- because being challenged is usually perceived as a threat.

People with personality disorders also appear more likely to make false statements. Because of the thought process of a personality disorder, the person experiences interpersonal rejection or confrontation much more deeply than most people. Therefore the person has great difficulty healing and may remain stuck in the denial stage, the depression stage, or the anger stage of grief -- avoiding acceptance by trying to change or control the other person.

Lying may be justified in their eyes -- possibly to bring a reconciliation. (This can be quite convoluted, like the former wife who alleged child sexual abuse so that her ex-husband's new wife would divorce him and he would return to her -- or so she seemed to believe.) Or lying may be justified as a punishment in their eyes. Just as we have seen that an angry spouse may kill the other spouse, it is not surprising that many angry spouses lie under oath. There is rarely any consequence for this, as family court judges often believe the truth cannot be known -- or that both are lying.

Man accuses firms of stealing software
By Geoffrey Fattah
Deseret News staff writer


PROVO — A self-described linguist and programmer has filed a lawsuit against Novell, the Eyring Research Institute and the founders of WordPerfect for a whopping $40 billion, claiming his software was pirated and used to create WordPerfect as well as some of Novell's first military missile programs.

Bruce Wydner of Eden, Weber County, and his brother, Roger Weidner, filed the suit last fall against Novell, Eyring Research and Bruce Bastian and Allen Ashton, formerly of WordPerfect.

Speaking to the Deseret News, Wydner claims a language translation software that he developed back in 1977 was inspired by passages within the Book of Mormon in which the Ancient Nephites were described as having the ability to decipher any human language through visual cues. In addition to alleging that his software was stolen, Wydner credits his software for ending the Cold War between the United States and Russia.

After working as a linguist at the Pentagon and translating messages for the Central Intelligence Agency, Wydner claims he was recruited by Brigham Young University to conduct research on what was to be known as his "Cost-Effective Machine Translation" software. Pointing to articles done in 1978 by the Deseret News and the Wall Street Journal, Wydner claims he was a part of a project to work on translation software.
