TY - JOUR PY - 1990// TI - Psychiatric assessment of Cleopatra--a challenging evaluation JO - Psychopathology A1 - Orland, R. M. A1 - Orland, F. J. A1 - Orland, P. T. SP - 169 EP - 175 VL - 23 IS - 3 N2 - There was conducted a retrospective study of a remarkable personality in history of two millennia ago: Cleopatra, the Great. Though there was a paucity of hard facts about her early years, yet considerable pertinent information could be gleaned from scholarly writings about this versatile queen to render a diagnosis. Cleopatra was a complex, dynamic woman who rose to power in the Mediterranean world, but eliminated herself dramatically when she could not bear defeat in her narcissistic personality.
