A depth psychology babble.
Aug. 14th, 2008 10:25 amAt Pacifica, I went for the mythological studies and got a crash course in depth psychology.
I'm still digesting it, still a newbie, and feel inadequate when I try to convey what I've learned from depth psychology. I wish I could, and I hate feeling like I'm defending and arguing something badly and amateurishly.
But after being reminded of the medical community's assertion that fibromyalgia may be a psychological problem, I started trying to jot down what I've absorbed.
The part that left the biggest impression on me is that the "it's psychological" diagnosis of medical and neurological science is sometimes a skewed response, like the much-derided edition of Gray's Anatomy that said, "in all cases, except in the female..."
(Note to HC: I'm not critiquing your use of the phrase, you just reminded me of how it's often used.)
