    That's the way John Lennon was, though: He would have these blind enthusiasms, only to terminate them with violent apostasies. This
    applies to Dylan, the Maharishi, to Allen Klein, to Janov and Primal
    Scream therapy. If only he had the sense to discern Yoko for the narcissistic psychopath she was.

    Lennon turned against his wife Cynthia and against McCartney in sick
    ways, but he had not embraced them blindly; they had earned his trust
    and respect, and it was Yoko, I believe, who engineered the destruction
    of those relationships. That's what narcissists do, just like cult
    leaders. A person who is severed from what stabilizes him is vulnerable
    to the narcissistic cult leader.

    Well put, grim times for Beatle John.

    How about for his friends, coworkers, and family? McCartney cared more
    about Cynthia and Julian than John did -- as he demonstrated by writing
    "Hey Jude" and half-jokingly proposing marriage to Cynthia.

    Lennon allowed Yoko to poison his behavior towards everyone who had once mattered to him -- and to only accept those who kissed (or pretended to
    kiss, as in the case of Klein, Richter, and Mintz) her ass. That's the
    way narcissists are.
