One Step Forward…

A Splintered Mind

I picked up particulate respirator masks so that I can go outdoors again. I’ve apparently developed asthma due to the pollution in Salt Lake Valley and the California forest fires. It’s why I’ve been so horribly sick since September. I’ve been a near complete shut-in. Alas, I overdid things yesterday. I looked like a dork in my mask, but I happily ran errands all over town.

psychotherapy as internal relation

Clinical Philosophy

(notes for a talk at Confer, 21st Sep 2019 ) Abstract Describing psychotherapy as a method of treatment is expedient in healthcare settings, but it would take a tin ear to not baulk at it as a characterisation of the therapeutic experience. To unpack our intuition that ‘treatment’ talk fails us, we may use Wittgenstein’s distinction between internal (constitutive) and external (two-part) relations.

Social prescribing is a lovely idea but it won’t make up for the care I’m not getting

SECTIONED

Social prescribing can only play a limited role in helping folks living with serious mental ill-health. A news story on social prescribing boomed out of my radio on Monday morning – another jolly report about how this was the way to manage long-term conditions in the community. NHS England had announced a plan to roll out the scheme across the country by recruiting 1,000 social prescribing “link workers” to support GPs and help people improve their health and well-being.

grammar's autonomy and phenomenology's revelations

Clinical Philosophy

I was recently asked how one could be both a philosophical phenomenologist who seeks to do justice to his experience of (the diverse facets of) reality in language, whilst also accepting Wittgenstein's dictum that grammar is arbitrary/autonomous. Doesn't the fidelity to experience intrinsic to the first jar with the autonomy of conceptual structures from experienced world mooted by the second?

Keeping Upbeat During Illness Is a Challenge

A Splintered Mind

Do I still have a blog? You wouldn’t know it by how infrequently I’ve updated it lately. Sometimes life can overwhelm. When that happens, I like to believe that I will always be plucky enough to fend off the doldrums and shake my fist defiantly at the obstacles that beset me. However, when illness weakens your knees and keeps you motionless in bed, is there enough pluck to lift your fist, never mind keep your spirits up?

the danger of wonder

Clinical Philosophy

We're sometimes invited to philosophise in a mood of wonder. Heidegger does this; Wittgenstein occasionally does something similar too. Now I've no wish to dismiss wonder, but I want to express a concern about it, or at least about what can easily be taken for it. St Augustine Take Augustine's question "What then is time?" which he follows with "If no one asks me, I know; if I want to explain it to a questioner, I do not know.

Don't Apologize for Feeling Suicidal

A Splintered Mind

You shouldn’t feel ashamed for feeling suicidal. Here’s how you can take a stand for yourself. I saw a news item a few months ago that troubled me. [1] At first, the item was in regard to a K-pop idol (Goo Hara) who my third oldest daughter and I enjoyed watching and listening to in the group, KARA. During KARA’s heyday, my daughter and I followed all their videos and song releases.

self-regulation

Clinical Philosophy

The concept of self-regulation is popular in psychology, and in my (clinical) part of psychology it crops up especially in relation to 'affect regulation' and 'mood regulation'. I've a worry about it. My worry is that it too-often looks like an explanation of why we don't go manic or get in a funk, or how it is that a toddler or PD sufferer may struggle in situations when others don't, or how (in non-clinical contexts) we're able to use words correctly - when instead it's (at best) very often no
