INTRODUCTION
ANALYSIS- ATTACHMENT
DISORDERS
The argument to be made is yes Chris may have had a personality disorder.
Although which one? Did he know about it and just didnt inform anyone?
We can really only draw conclusions only by basing his relationship with his
parents. (and the relationship between themselves) Chris only really seems to be
personally detached from his mother, and especially father. Though he appears
very close with his sister, and throughout his journey he makes some
unforgettable friendships with random people. He is cautious before getting too
close with anyone, before he flees.
Aside from McCandless, those that suffer from attachment disorders are typically
hard to diagnose. Just because someone may possess some of the symptoms,
doesnt necessarily infer that they have a disorder. Common misperception.
ARGUMENT/ISSUE
The main issue is that Chris can probably fit into all these
categories, that was the joy of this assignment. After
becoming increasingly frustrated trying to pinpoint one
specific disorder, it is evident that he cannot be placed into
only one description.
