Some forms of insanity occasion excommunication of the "insane" person. Other forms of insanity occasion the excommunication of the "healthy" person. (Usually excommunication is mutual.) Yet other forms of insanity may occasion no excommunication. Respectable insanity often occasions the excommunication of healthy non-collusive persons. Respectable insanity is of a type which pertains to the nature of the relationship between an individual and a group. Such insanity is not a condition of an individual. It is a condition having to do with a relationship between the insane and the sane. In respectable insanity it is a collusive group of people who are behaving in ways which do violence to personal integrity because the collusive group has lost touch with humane realities. A "healthy" person perceives the collusions of the group. The group is threatened by that perception and regards it and the non- collusive person to be perverse, "insane". The "healthy" person is excommunicated via a tacit agreement that the "healthy" person is insane. The insane group thus maintains it's respectability, and rids itself of the troublesome critic that sees through the collusions of the group. The "healthy" person who perceives the collusions of a collusive group is "declared" to be insane in a non- respectable way. The excommunicated sane person may then really go insane, or may succeed in coping with collusions in a loving way. If placed in unresolvable double-binds, the sane person may resort to genuinely perverse coping routines which do violence to both self and others. In such instances the respectable insane society occasions the insanity of the healthy person, and all become insane, some respectably and a few non-respectably. To avoid the generation of increasing amounts of relational insanity we need to discover ways of coping with participants in collusions in loving ways. It is not enough to attack their collusions, or join their collusions. The collusions need to be dis-affirmed while affirming the participants and avoiding the collusion's recruitment powers. It is difficult to love participants in collusions without getting recruited into their collusions; i.e., going respectably insane with them. It is also difficult to disaffirm lovers' collusions without being excommunicated as a dis-respectable insane person. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
