Information from early socialization
House's father was a military pilot, and his mother was a housewife. Because of his father's work related to moving around, House spent his childhood in Japan and Egypt.
House had a terrible relationship with his father, whom he hated but looked like. His father was always grieving for reprisals. In one episode, we find out that as a child, House had been brutally harassed by his father's warrior, that he was biased and "brutally honest" - just as House is now.
After the death of his father, House finds out in a test that he was not his own father, even though it was the first time he assumed that he was 12 years old.
House's biological father was a unitarian priest.
At the age of 14, House brought his friend to a Japanese hospital, where he met with a member of the Untouchables caste who worked as a janitor at the hospital. Despite the disgust, the doctors felt for the janitor, they all listened to his opinion, thanks to his outstanding knowledge of medicine. This, according to House himself, led to his decision to become a doctor.
House's high grades allowed him to go to Johns Hopkins Medical School, but he was expelled after his classmate Philip Weber caught him cheating. Despite this case, House was admitted to the University of Michigan's medical department, where he became a legend.
Prevailing emotions
The prevailing emotions of the subject include the following: fear of absorption, invasion of privacy, hyper-sensitivity.
- Fear of absorption. The subject has a clear expression of dislike and contempt for the generally accepted rules and moral values, distrust, and contempt for religion and its dogmas. He calls his patients idiots, liars, mocking them. Uncooled shirt without a tie, jeans, t-shirts, sneakers, jacket and, of course, a cane - an open disregard for the norms of the society in which he is located. One way to understand this apparent preference for eccentricity and custom is that House is careful to prevent the possibility of being psychologically attached to others as if the only way to maintain a sense of self-integration was to play a farce overall social expectations.
- Hyper-sensitivity. We can observe that the subject is offended, hurt, internally lonely and has long been accustomed to it. In addition, his ability to perceive what other people do not recognize or ignore is striking. And it may be because of his emotional, intuitive and sensual abilities that House is able to solve unusual symptoms of the disease.
Prevailing cognitions
People can't be trusted.
House is a convinced misanthrope. Misanthropy is dislike, distrust of humanity. House's trump card slogan is everyone's lie! He hates people, thinks they are liars, does not believe a single word of theirs. He avoids people's society and considers them boring idiots, unable to change for the better. He seeks distance to maintain his safety and independence but suffers from remoteness and loneliness.
Basic defenses
As noted above, the study seeks protection in the care of the inner world through drugs. Lives in his own parallel reality and almost no one is allowed in there. He avoids the physical real world by limiting contacts, creating a huge distance between himself and the people around him. In relation to human values - love, fidelity, faith - the House can see the devaluation. Among the more "mature", intellectualization is clearly preferred by the object of our research.
It is also possible to pay attention to his leg pains, which may well be explained by psychosomatic symptoms. This suggests that unresolved psychological problems are being supplanted.
