Don’t Be Well (Don’t Be Sane)
Imagine that mother and father are two busy people, both out all day working. They love their daughter but don’t have much energy to give her attention when they get home in the evenings and she comes back from the day care.
Don’t Be Well (Don’t Be Sane)
Then she gets ill. Mother
takes time off work to
look after her sick
daughter. Father does
what he is seldom done
before and reads her
stories while she falls
asleep at night.
Don’t Be Well (Don’t Be Sane)
In her astute little professor, the little girl stores away the conclusion: “To get the attention I want around here, I have to be ill.” Without realizing it or intending it, her parents have given her the injunction Don’t be well.
Don’t Be Well (Don’t Be Sane)
If she complies with this
message in grown up life,
their daughter may use
the scripty strategy of
getting sick whenever
things go wrong in her
relationship or at work.
Don’t Be Well (Don’t Be Sane)
Some times, Don’t be
well is given by
attribution as when
parents continually tell a
child’s relatives and
neighbors: “ This one
isn't strong, you know.”
Don’t Be Well (Don’t Be Sane)
The variant Don’t be sane is often modeled for the child by a psychotic parent or relative. The child may only get attention if he acts crazy enough. This injunction may be made more potent by unspoken rules about how insanity is to be passed on in a particular family.
