From Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader: understanding «Star Wars» based on Theodore Millon´s theory of personality pathology
Abstract The aim of this work was to psychologically investigate Anakin Skywalker (also known as Darth Vader), using a non sistematic idiographic clinic analysis, based on Thedore Millon theory, with solid theoretical and empirical bases for personality pathological traits and personality disorders. The character Anakin Skywalker allows this analysis, since in the films it is possible to observe fragments of his childhood, adolescence and adult life, making viable an analysis of his psychological development. According to Millon´s theory and the information from the movies, we present as a conclusion a possible pathological personality funtioning for the character.
