[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 670084, member: 18958"] Hi Feeling, I may have only a minute, because of the clicking. M is sleeping. I am sad. I miss Cedar already. I am worried about my son. Just a pervasive sense that something is wrong. On the bright side, I was out today. M is finding busy work for me so I had to go to the other house to make a decision. Then we went to his sister's to eat Sopes. Really good. The house was full of kids. Nice. Another bright thing: I am looking at reading lists for Psychological Anthropology. I want to think about how cross-cultural factors influence the understanding and treatment of mental illness. I heard a great talk (most of it) by a psychiatrist Peter Breggan, I think it is spelled. He is an advocate of compassionate therapies and a nay sayer to many medications. I just bought his book called Guilt, Shame and Anxiety. He was talking about how in Lapland, they have virtually eliminated schizophrenia because of how they respond socially to the first manifestations of psychosis. I can hardly really believe it, but he was so smart and kindhearted I was moved to learn more of his thinking. From the time I was a young woman I gravitated toward psychoanalysis. I am a doubter now. I do not think I ever had the strength before to be a doubter about much of anything. When I get up tomorrow I will respond more fully. Thank you for asking about me. What do I do if my son does not call by Wednesday, which will have been 3 days? I hope you are well, Feeling. COPA [/QUOTE]
