The subject of this post is a little further on in the Preface of “Who Shall Survive?”. It is in a section called 1913-1914, Genesis of Group Psychotherapy. (xxviii) I’ve broken the selected passage into three sections each with my comment. Continue reading “Marx in “Who Shall Survive?” 03 – Working with Prostitutes.”

Post to remember
I just found this post: There is no such thing as a person
It’s one I still appreciate having written. Strangely, it takes away something of so-called autonomy of the individual. Well, of course, it takes way individualism. Terry Real calls it toxic individualism, but any individualism is toxic. It’s a radical statement: there is no such thing as a person.
It is the exact opposite what Margaret Thatcher said, isn’t it? That there’s no such thing as society.

Here is a site that mentions both figures. Continue reading “Saul Alinksy and Kurt Lewin”

Not a conversational medium
Dave Winer, just said, in Scripting News: “don’t think of this as a conversational medium, and don’t count on everyone hearing you. Use it for thinking out loud, and be happy when people hear you, but don’t expect it.”
Is that blogging, or textcasting? Or the digital realm as a whole? I’ve had some good conversation in simple closed email groups.
But what I appreciate about Dave’s line is that blogging is thinking out loud, I’ve been doing that in my blog for more than 30 years. I’m taking his words as an affirmation that it is worth doing. Thinking out loud, alone.
I should turn off comments as they have done little – but I appreciate that people sub to this blog. Not quite alone.
Robin White – surprises!
