Anime: SpyxFamily We come across different people with different kind of relationship patterns, some are seem to be too dependent on their partners or friends some don't interact with others at all. John Bowlby was the first psychiatrist who established the theory of attachment, he did research on infants. Then different researchers worked on the theory and came out with 4 styles of attachment in adults.

According to psychoanalytic theory (Sigmund Freud) there are three structures of a personality.

1. Id ( like a child, acting on pleasure principal)

2. Ego (like an adult, acts on reality principal, rational, controls id)

3. Superego (like a society, only works on moral perfection)

So ego plays a role in restraining the id and not letting superego dominate it. It aims for realistic goals.

Sometimes, conflicts arise, and they produce anxiety for ego. It is threatening for ego. To protect from anxiety, ego creates an unconscious strategy which we call defense mechanisms.

Defense mechanisms are always active in us, it is healthy and natural. However it can turn pathological in some cases, like it turned for Kazutora.

Sauce: Naruto

Request: please do comment what you think.

Edit: its Cattell with double L, ignore other mistakes.

Intelligence is individual's abilities to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by careful thoughts.

There are many theories to intelligence, one of them is proposed by Cattell based on Spearman's two factor theory of intelligence.

Naruto has different aspects to his personality. It was hard to differentiate intelligence with physical attributes. But we do observe his reasoning and problem solving skills throughout the anime, where others seemed to not think like the way he do.

So if Naruto was born to ordinary shinobi parents, would he be the same? If hadn't trained so hard would he have been the strong hookage he is? What do you think is the reason Naruto is Naruto?

Spoilers, ignoring the supernatural elements of the anime.

Dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as multiple personality disorder) is a rare dramatic type dissociative disorder.

Dissociative disorders are group of conditions involving disruptions in person's normally integrated functions such as perception, behaviour, cognition, memories etc.

The symptoms of DID cause clinically significant distress or impairment in person's important area of functioning such as social, occupational etc.

Causes are not attributed to substances like drugs, alcohol or medical conditions such as seizures but to coping from abusive environment.

There are several controversies around DID and very less reliable researches. Hence not much is known other than providing dramatic storyline to fictional literature.

Animes: Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Deaimon : Recipe for happiness

We see a lot of crossdressers (traps) in anime, but have we ever thought why exactly an individual does the thing which we find weird.

Is it actually weird?

Crossdressing has various motives, each individual who choose to do that have their own reasons. It's not pathological. It's a form of expression, there's no need for them to change for others, unless they feel like changing for themselves.

Sauce: Inuyashiki: Last Hero

Warning: spoilers ahead

Abraham Maslow proposed a hierarchy of five innate needs that activate and direct human behaviour.

These needs are starting from bottom in a pyramidal structure

1. Physiological Needs: food, water, air etc.

2. Safety Needs: security, order, and stability.

3. Belongingness and Love needs: intimate and close relationship with friends, family, co workers, community etc.

4. Esteem needs: social recognition and respect from oneself and others.

5. Need for self actualization: maximum use of our potential.

Lower needs must be at least partially satisfied before higher needs become influential. We are not driven by all the needs at the same time. Failure to satisfy higher need does not produce crisis but they do contribute to survival and growth.
