> can't believe they were ho-hum when you delivered it.
oh. its because nobody here is working on / interested in / knows anything about the topic. so they just follow me along going yup... yup... yup. and don't have a lot to say with respect to critique. it's not supposed to be like that. they're supposed to critique it as hard as they can so i'm forced to improve it and tighten it up and elaborate on the bits that aren't so clear etc. i guess it means i told an okay story, but it doesn't help me at all really...
and they are philosophers at any rate. so it was written with them in mind. thats why i don't explain the technical philosophical terminology but i do explain the psychology / brain stuff. there can be a danger in using technical terms across more than one field... a danger that you will make yourself incomprehensible to everyone and alienate yourself from both fields.
i have to go with what i know...
that means cognitive neuropsychology and intentional explanation.
and with respect to therapy...
that means CBT.
but thats okay... thats okay...
i reckon...
that if you modify linehan slightly...
(take her stuff on finding the inherant grain of wisdom in the clients utterance take her stuff on validation)
then you could get a version of DBT for delusional subjects.
you could even modify skills training...
with respect to social skills (though interpersonal skills are on the agenda already):-)
