We have limits to our abilities—just like we can't fly, or swim like a dolphin, our capacity for change is limited.

It is very interesting to hear that your wife's profession is "child and youth worker" and that her experiences with some of the very troubled kids "never cease to amaze you". (My ex-wife too was a child / developmental psychologist and we often shared views and experiences) <br /><br />The book by R.D. Laing which I mentioned in the article (The Politics of Experience) is several decades old now. But I think it remains one of the best books I have ever read and certainly on its topic. It is fairly short and an easy read and I definitely can recommend it. (you can get it through Amazon) <br /><br />R.D. Laing also wrote another lesser known book called "Knots" which also is excellent and also "The Divided Self". I think he was one of the most creative clinical psychologists ever and did some amazing work himself at the Tavistock Institute in London. (easy enough to google any of this if you are interested) <br /><br />Back in the 1960's as the so- called Vietnam war (the Vietnamese call it the American war on Vietnam) was raging he and Noam Chomsky held a joint conference -with an overflow audience- in Boston just off the Boston Commons. A truly memorable event with an amazing Q & A session. <br /><br />Other times and other days but many things both political and psychological have NOT changed.<br /><br />All the best and regards,<br /><br /><br />Max Iacono<br /><br /><br />Max12345https://www.blogger.com/profile/12365889922647112795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079934161985715000.post-45247841016390810852013-05-11T18:26:17.594+02:002013-05-11T18:26:17.594+02:00"Generally speaking we are NOT particularly t..."Generally speaking we are NOT particularly transparent to ourselves, rather the opposite if anything."<br /><br />Hi Max,<br />I agree.<br />My wife's profession is "child and youth worker" - which means, essentially, that she spends a lot of her time working with some very troubled kids.<br />Her experiences with these kids never cease to amaze me.<br />Helping them rise up out of their own problems would be relatively easy if only they could see those problems for themselves the way others see them - but, more often than not, they just can't.Lucas Durandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12978045535093722565noreply@blogger.com
