here we talk psychology.

hello dear seeker.

on this blog i will think about all things in psychology. and everything counts, as you will discover. doesn't matter what school or group is your forte; and anyone at all who wants to put in their tuppenceworth is very welcome. you should know at once that i got my own take; but i'm not eclectic, i just have my own theories like everyone; but i have practised quite a lot of what WORKS. i'm going to use this blog to explore these ideas, my intention is to whizz through the various theories, experiments and so forth, as the mood hits me. i'm no fan of most of them. my belief is that we take what works, the state of the individual or group in front of us, figure them out and apply the meds! but i know it has to give rise to a theory of some sort for wiser or more accurately, conventional eggheads, to analyse and in their turn work on it. understand right away that a theory is just...a theory. these freudians, existentialists, all of them, have taken a bloody theory and turned it into an orthodoxy. like an ersatz religion? thats as crazy and rigid as the mental pts i deal with every day.

the fact is that freudian psychoanalysis has NEVER cured anyone. of anything. it becomes a kind of addiction; your daily dose of infantilism. however pychoanalysis, for all its 10,000 faults, at least does actually deal with the mind. the one in front of you, screaming in pain?
whereas all the rest, though they may help in a minor way with various bits and pieces of unbearable behaviours, manage never to deal with the mind at all! nope. here's your meds, here's your list of things to do, here's your meaning of life, now fuck off you're listed as an EX-patient..

so we start from the beginning...we save everything we can from the barmy chaos that is psychology today. and we work out for ourselves how to help ourselves, our friends, even the goddamned doctors. i assure you a lot of them are crackers. or didn't you know that in every country on earth the suicides figures are heavily skewed ? yep. doctors. especially psychiatrists. i'm surprised we got any left...
which means the ones we got are the 'left-overs'...

so tomorrow we start with freud and whatever did happen to pschoanalysis?
