histrionic personality disorder
in a legal psychiatric personality survey, it was determined that hansen suffered from a histrionic personality disorder. when you suffer from a histrionic personality disorder - what was previously called a 'hysterical neurosis' - you have a pressing urge to be at the heart of dramatic events. many manipulate, both with their feelings and sexuality, for the purpose of obtaining recognition from others. a person suffering from this disorder is capable of going to extreme lengths for positive attention. all this and violent self-absorption, which includes narcissism, often makes the person conduct acts towards others so they can be in the center of attention.
