    Sometimes it produces something different than the "shrink"...but the explanation is a good one:)

    Well over the past 2 months, I have been getting a load of "neurology" or the physicality of my neuromuscular system with massage therapy to address the hand injury. If I had the time, I would be reading more books like this.

    I just finished reading "My Stroke of Insight" by Jill Bolte Taylor . It is an amazing book. I highly recommend it if you have not read it. You sure have some great books listed here.

    Hey, this is a great idea for a lens! I love Oliver Sacks' work. Loved Awakenings! I'm not a great fan of the way modern psychology approaches understanding what people are about. you are right, they are trained to be scientists. the problem is, it is my understanding they are trained toward looking only at the objective. My husband teaches at Rutgers U, highly rated psych dept in the U.S. By FAR most of the faculty there doesn't believe the unconscious exists. It can't be proven by their science. It boggles my mind every time I hear that from him - psychologists who don't believe in the unconscious? It's unscientific. Thus, they are producing shrinks who are behaviorists. no depth analysts are being produced and that's where the real work is done.
    My husband is an outlier, but his classes are filled to the max - 1,000 students a semester. No matter what they name his class, he teaches the same thing: Love, Mysticism and Psychotherapy. His students love him; colleagues shun him.5*
