another undiagnosed paranoid

todays SST has an item about a pastor being evicted from NZ for a long string of assaults on his wife which began 3 months after the marriage.
according to one system of psychiatry paranoia is a defense against unconscious latent homosexuality and often and in this case the paranoid marries a woman to pretend to the world that he is 'normal".
however that does not take away the unconscious dynamic and the most imperative is the narcissistic desire to find the self in an endless series of sexual encounters but the paranoid has to repress them.
that is the essence of paranoia when the paranoid projects his feelings onto his wife and then either beats or murders her to maintain psychic equilibrium but of course by then it is too late.
