Abstract
This article, as a sequel to three previous papers on John Nash by Capps (2003, 2004a, & 2004b), focuses on the other side of Nash’s ‘beautiful mind’ by examining the sufferings of those who loved him. Nash’s mistress and wife, appear to have suffered the most by Nash’s narcissistic and paranoid schizophrenic tendencies due to his noncommittal and disrespectful attitudes. Nash’s exploitive and experiential ways of relating to his close male friends (“special friendships”) seemed to have caused much pain and agony in at least two of his special friends. In addition, Nash’s two sons also suffered from his lack of affection and responsibility. Thus it is crucial for people in mental health professionals as well as in pastoral care and counseling not only to care for the mentally ill but also for those who are around him or her.
