The word "Golem", in mediaeval Jewish legend, describes a sort of machine man, a robot. Some 50 years ago it was the subject of a famous novel, by Gustav Meysink, made into a <a href="http://www.filmmonthly.com/Silents/Articles/Golem/Golem.html" rel="nofollow">film</a>.</i><br /><br /><i>A man who has lived such a life as a child has not developed the "emotional antenna" or the "love-receiving apparatus", to be able to receive or to acknowledge emotional signals. Such men go from woman to woman and are often considered to be excellent lovers. These women do not realise that they receive not love but hate, not compassion but revenge, not commitment but a desire to escape, that it is not a mutual emotional experience of beauty but a one-sided desire to hurt, and even to kill.</i><br /><br />Simz - I agree, it seems like a very subjective load of BS.<br /><br />Anonymous - Bierer was a psychiatrist of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_psychiatry" rel="nofollow">social psychiatry</a> school, which<br /><br /><i>...focuses on the interpersonal and cultural context of mental disorder and mental wellbeing.
