A member asked:
Could you tell me what is the name for the mental disorder where a person feels the need to be "in power"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controlling persons: Not enough info to be accurate but usually Narcistic Personalities as well as Sociopathic Personalities as well as those with OCD can have as their symptom constellation controlling/need to be 'in power.' It is also important to distinguish whether the 'power' is coming thru manipulation or domination/force and intimidation.
