Top of the mornin Dinah,
Just for the sake of clarity I wan't yelling at YOU for disparaging the inner lives of therapists, but referring to the Home page of What is Abuse..To wit:
"Discussion about the abuse of patients...is seldom found in the literature...and is rarely discussed by practitioners in the contexzt of self-scrutiny."Lies. I'm not even in the profession but I've managed to collect half a dozen garment-wrenching masterpieces by the hairless and senisitive, and, no, they don't generally title their books FALL DOWN TO YOUR KNEES AND KISS THE TIP OF MY BRANDISHED WHIP, SLATTERN! But a man has his pride.
According to the site, among practictioners issues of abuse are ill-defined (quite, as I expect they would be, outside the cyborg community), and that these issues are (love this qualifier) "more often than not"
OUTSIDE
THE
CONSCIOUSNESS
OF BOTH
PRACTITIONER
AND
PATIENT.Uh-oh. Crazy lady talkin.
The moon is made of green cheese and while we're at it think I'll do a little time travel today and check out that Harlem Rennaissance.For me, this kind of hyperbole completely destroys any credibility, when all I ask is doesn't my intelligence have the
*right*
not to be
*abused*
by a discourse on par w/ the average prepubescent slumber party, I mean if my computer was a book I'd throw it against the wall, why must our children be given access to keyboards, and so on and so forth ad naseum.I LOVE the smell of clarity in the morning.
Dennis Hopper, now there's a man.
YEE HAW!!!
