Abstract
ABSTRACT
The goal of the current research is to uncover the most important psychological dynamics and underlying motives that cause the emergence of dark personality symptoms that make up the Dark Triad. For the case of a 20-year-old female university student, and using the clinical interview (case study model), the Sachs Sentence Completion Test (SSCT), and the projective hand test, the research reached several results, including: The patient suffers from some conflicts centered around feelings of helplessness and fear of abandonment, not receiving reassurance and love from her parents, especially the father, extreme cruelty in treatment, as well as her exposure to violent physical and verbal abuse from the family, as well as fear of the opposite sex. Which in turn led to the emergence of emotional and social immaturity and severe repressed aggression, which are factors that led to dark personality symptoms represented by (psychopathic personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, Machiavellian personality disorder). The underlying and predisposing causes of the disorder in this case were attributed to the harsh method used in upbringing, the use of verbal violence and bullying, complete neglect of emotional,and material needs. Many images of hardship and psychological anguish: rejection of the father, inability to adapt to reality and the family, feeling of psychological alienation and emptiness, striving to avoid abandonment, fear of loneliness, need for security, unconditional love and acceptance, need for self-esteem , self-confidence, as well as the need for success and independence.
