@ Grea...Thanks for your insightful post, Adelaide.<br /><br />@ <i>Great to see and read you writing about psychiatric subjects *again* [my emphasis].</i><br /><br />Have we met before?<br /><br />@ <i>"Is depression hidden anger?" From my experience, I have tended to answer "no" because my anger is fairly well open.</i><br /><br />Very interesting. I am living in almost poverty and know that when I feel down in this Third World country obviously it’s not repressed anger, but lack of opportunities. Yeap!: Not every form of depression is repressed anger. However, I use my fury to write a lot, especially in Spanish. Creative work helps.<br /><br />@ <i>It would be great to have a book dedicated to the child victim of involuntary psychiatry. </i><br /><br />I did it: <a href="http://antipsiquiatria.org/english/Table%20of%20Contents%20WL.html" rel="nofollow">the second book of my series</a> (it’s in Spanish, alas…).<br /><br />@ <i>Writing a letter is indeed therapeutic. </i><br /><br />Ibid! The *first* book of my series.Checharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07958061355210472570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35605999.post-67715378021963056282009-10-30T05:11:29.354+00:002009-10-30T05:11:29.354+00:00Great to see and read you writing about psychiatri...Great to see and read you writing about psychiatric subjects again (what in life <i>isn't</i> a psychiatric subject!), and Solomon's book and opinions in particular.<br /><br />I have questioned for a very long time (since 2001 the question had been conscious, but the question had been there since I was little and could first name and distinguish my feelings, particularly a lingering sadness that did not easily resolve, and inhabited my body): "Is depression hidden anger?" From my experience, I have tended to answer "no" because my anger is fairly well open - whether constructive, destructive or neutral.<br /><br />It would be great to have a book dedicated to the child victim of involuntary psychiatry.<br /><br />Solomon describes some of my worst fears, for instance, the woman who forgot everything she learnt in law school. I have had similar effects from the first year of treatment with the pharcopeia, though other things, like stimuli deprivation, could have to do with it as well.<br /><br />Writing a letter is indeed therapeutic. Hilary and Piers du Pre did it. Hilary wrote a letter to her 'dearest, darling Mum' and the letter became <i>A Genius in the Family</i>.<br /><br />And the forgiveness factor. Yes. The person should as well as saying sorry, be sorry too. Repent.<br /><br />The amplitude probably wouldn't get to people who have had the 'deaf effect' (Jeremy Griffiths: Foundation for Humanity's Adulthood).<br /><br />I have been reading lots about introjects and engulfments today.Adelaide Duponthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01490123934889071074noreply@blogger.com
