Character traits may be used as defenses, or, 'coping mechanisms'
that may be developed by individuals in an exaggerated fashion in
order to conceal psychological conflicts. When these mechanisms
break down, previously repressed trauma erupts into consciousness.
One such trait is selflessness. Les Barbanell examines the
transformation of selflessness into the Caretaker Personality
Disorder and how it is not always better to give than receive, that
being good can go bad, and that the 'disease to please' can even be
fatal.
