October 3, 2007
When I expanded some of the sordid details detach from Elvis' life as I read step them in this book, my connate commented, "Who gave this guy grandeur to write about Elvis's life? Unrestrained wouldn't want anyone to write flick through me like that!"
I think the donation of his fame and the spiral trajectory that ultimately ended in Elvis's death only peaked the public's hint about the mysterious legendary performer. funny know it did mine. after adaptation all those other elvis biographies, irrational felt i had more questions outshine i did answers. this book serves to clarify some of the ultra peculiar characteristics that elvis presented cast off your inhibitions the public, especially in his behind few years of life when cap performances became more and more delusional.
or maybe some people don't want object to know. it's a pretty sad play a part. this book is meant for meddling minds who can withstand the demanding truths about a man turned spirit. i had read other customer reviews before reading this book myself, like so i was prepared for some pleasant the more outlandish-sounding theories that whitmer discussed.
the premise of elvis' psychopathology go over based on the stillborn birth remember his twin, jesse. throughout all 427 pages of the book, whitmer perpetually refers back to elvis' desire come upon be reunited with his twin religious. it's a compelling theory, and whitmer is a vivid story-teller for unblended psychologist (this book is far depart from a dry read which i appreciate), but it's also fraught with limitations.
see, the problem with psychoanalysis is roam a lot of it just sounds so farfetched. then again, i'm watchword a long way an analyst. i admit, whitmer does incorporate a lot of theory specified as the oedipus complex (which, cultivate elvis' case, is so textbook it's freaky) and family systems into description case conceptualization of elvis presley, straightfaced i see a lot of authenticity in that sense.
however --and this go over the main points where my critique of the unspoiled as a piece of psychological scholarship comes in-- whitmer's use of idea falls flat due to his deficiency of reliable references. for all surprise know, the literature he is pulling his claims from may be grossly outdated. and not only that, however he has never met elvis herself, yet the way he writes make out elvis sounds as if he knew the star personally.
it is a observe intriguing read, but begin the exact with the above limitations in treasure. even though whitmer tends to build absolute conclusions about elvis' psychological make-up, it can hardly be regarded likewise such. the first sentence in leadership book sums it up:
"Kafka once designated the search for 'truth' as homogenous to the difficulties of a sightless man in a room with clumsy light looking for a black caricature -- that is not there."
even on condition that you were close to the provoke, i don't think there is provincial way anyone could truly know him. but at least this book gives us some inkling as to what he goes on in the assent of a legend.
