Peter Pan SYNDROME has been accepted in psychology and laypeople and, by some psychology professionals since the book "THE PETER PAN SYNDROME: MEN WHO HAVE NEVER GROWN UP) by Dr. Dan Kiley and published in 1983.

It characterizes the personality of an immature person and also includes narcissistic behavior. It groups those with this disorder an undependable, rebellious, anger, Narcissism, dependency, and manipulation tendencies. According to Dr. Kiley, "Peter Pan" is the adult little boy who, when in a relationship or in seeking a relationship, acts out a need for mothering.

Dr. Kiley also wrote another book called, "The Wendy Dilemma" published in 1984. A woman who (often unconsciously) acts in a mother role. Contributing the other half of co-dependent couple's circumstances, her responses to the Peter Pan man, is over-protection, possessiveness, complaining, and "martyrdom."

A book written by most doctors is simply one man's opinion or a small group of men's opinions and does not make it necessarily true.

I believe while working with the human mind it is so important to leave dignity intact, and the quick labeling system demoralizes many patients. Patients with some diseases of the brain (that's right .. it's a disease just like diabetes, Heart disease, etc.) sometimes can be helped, and most can cope through life and hopefully cured.

The brain, in the medical/scientific world has been the least studied of any other part of the body. Now it's catch-up time!

The brain is like a giant circuit system (like wires) that gives out signals to move our eyes, move our mouths, our limbs, etc. Nervous system disorders is a problem with a circuit that is not functioning, and thus, that is what depression and other so-called "mental" disorders are. Already studies and tests are being done to concentrate on the short-circuit system of the brain causing whatever problem that particular patient may have. I have read medical articles that there will possibly be something like (a pacemaker for a heart) put into the brain to control these dysfunctions of the brain. This would be a wonderful addition to the medical world because people with depression, nervous system disorders would no longer have to rely on medications and bad side effects.

Yes! Cowbell is the cure for peter pan syndrome. All you have to do is play the cowbell to the kid and their fish (if they don't have a fish get them one) and they will be cured! This is not guaranteed and may have side effects including having an alliance with Captain Hook, crushing dreams FOREVER, and losing your love for cowbells and fish. I tried on my fish once, it died.

Nothing because its fake and you don't have to buy a fish, all it takes is a dumb person in the house and turn the fish into a fish stick, fish fillet, and fish sandwich.

How do you get rid of a small amount of Peter Pan syndrome?

If it's just a small amount of the Peter Pan syndrome then why get rid of it? Sometimes I wish I still had that magical part inside of me that I had as a child, but after years of reality shoved up my nose (and most people are like this) we forget to maintain that magical child-like part of us that can make life more fun and it can be passed onto your children and grandchildren. If this little bit of Peter Pan syndrome isn't hurting anyone then be thankful you either have it or that you are around someone that does.


What causes Peter Pan Syndrome-?

Peter Pan syndrome is not listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, and is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association as a mental disorder. Don't know what has been said before. Peter Pan felt sadly unable to be accepted by the adult world. As a defense, he rejected what he perceived to be rejecting him. He would hide whenever adults would come on the scene so that he would avoid interacting with them. Adults presented the ongoing threat of the emotional pain of rejection. Peter was just fearful and insecure with feelings of inadequacy to an extreme and defended against this thru avoidance of the potential cause. A fear of failure when interacting with others that he perceived to be more capable and in control than he was. Peter Pan syndrome means an overwhelming fear of failure interacting with those perceived to be more adequate which is defended against thru avoidance, that is all. Peter Pan syndrome, a desire to remain young and not face the responsibilities of youth, is the natural result of anyone who had a good childhood. The naive security of youth is looked upon fondly as an ideal state of being. Although the "condition," which is really just a state of mind, has gained a negative connotation in quasi-psychological use, it is actually a normal part of the post-adolescent mindset. If, however, the Peter Pan is to completely shun adult responsibility to the detriment of happiness or relationships, he can be said to be a "victim" of this syndrome.
