Freud circa 1897:
The rate-limiting factor in psychotherapy is the rate at which psychological change (linked to development of new neural pathways) can occur. You can’t accelerate it with technology. The problem is not that “therapy” takes too long. It’s about how mind and brain function.

Speech is not violence. Violence is not speech.
1/ One of most important things I've learned: Severe personality problems find *camouflage.* No one thinks “I’m a sadist” or “I'm a malignant narcissist.” They find a belief system/social group that validates their most hateful, destructive impulses & construes them as virtues.
I hope I'm wrong. But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever. Like the…
Completely irrelevant and gratuitous
The murder of Charlie Kirk today at Utah Valley University was a shocking and reprehensible act. In a democracy, and especially on a university campus, disagreements must be addressed through open inquiry, dialogue, and debate — never through violence. Our thoughts are with…
Charlie Kirk’s assassination is straight out of this Haidt book. If you believe that people are evil, it justifies eliminating evil by any means necessary, which includes death. Haidt predicted this because Americans demonize those with whom they disagree.
Of all possible targets, they chose Charlie Kirk, a man who, despite holding strong views, was among the few political influencers who always made the effort to engage civilly and in good faith with people who disagreed with him. Perhaps this is why he was feared.
I saw this video this morning on my feed and I think it so eloquently explains what Charlie Kirk was put on this earth to do. “When people stop talking, that’s when you get violence, that is when civil war happens”
Oh my God. This is unsustainable.

“Hurt people hurt people” is not a theory of violence or mental illness. It’s an absurd statement meant to excuse the murderer. Would he say “Derek Chauvin was hurting and hurt people hurt people”? Woke poisons everything it touches. Progressives make Fox News seem rational.

Some thoughts about power relations and psychopathology. Bromberg’s idea is that the self is not unitary but a fluid constellation (“self-states”). From the frame of affect regulation theory (Fonagy, Schore, and others),
McWilliams synthesizes large amounts of information to provide people with an understanding of basic concepts, like case, conceptualization, diagnosis, transference, and the frame.

Preach. Ogden. Be in analysis if you want to understand what your patients experience. Supervise, analyze the unconscious through dreams, defense mechanisms, transference and countertranference, enactments, and create the process with the analysand. #Psychoanalysis
Mental health can be viewed as energy landscapes. OCD has deep valleys where neural activity gets stuck. Schizophrenia has shallow valleys where neural activity runs freely. This is the dynamical systems theory.
