It often seems to serve at least in part as a defense when individuals or groups make efforts to publicly delineate other people's "pathology" with whom they have relationships. It may be axiomatic that there is at some level a complimentary interaction of "pathologies" that are in some ways mirrored (often subtle) and in other ways opposite for a behavioral spectrum (manifest) for dyads in meaningful relationships. Perhaps its old-fashion, conservative, or dull, but violations of professional or personal confidence is much too common and condoned by professionals that seem as though they should object. Entertainment, profits, celebrity, defense, and revenge come to mind as possible motives. Though there is some "educational" value in public psychological discussions, it often seems outweighed by the exploitation and maliciousness (books, talk-shows, public presentations, etc.) when it is about specific individuals.
