Hello Harold Well actually she under dialisis right now Will let you know more later How are you dear Christine  I am fine,hopefully, thank you for asking JP as I hope you are, you should tell us more about your sister.  Thank you, Christine - I have been wanting to put the same question for a long time but didn't quite know how to ask. Thank you, Jean Pierre, for the intro to Aisha. How did you cme to be a member? Christine - no, I have never been a shrink. I was a General Practitioner with a part time appointment as a Liverpool Area Medical Officer to three occupational therapy centres for the physical handicapped and one for the mentally handicapped. In one of he fomer I spent a fair amount of time as scrabble opponent and a wheel chair dancing partner! I retired to Israel in 1984, becoming co-chairperson of the English Speaking Residents'Association computer club, and returned in 1998. Now my principal hobby is creative writing. I also worked with and for psychiatrists but felt really troubled with being psychoanalized a lot.  I am a great follower of Abraham Maslow but Freud is the one that send me packing from psychiatry, although I did do a 12 month post-basic trainig in psychiatric nursing - I went back to being a tutor untill i found i had breast carcinoma, chemotherapy was a very traumatic occurance i never really got over that. But i consider myself cancer free now. I am a believer in the hierarchy of human needs. I always had a horror of war, but was ready to support military action to save human lives. Evelyn - my semis meliora, not my alter ego - was a midwife, and has a twenty year cancer cure. I was awfully curious to find out why I didn't go insane. ~Abraham Maslow, one of the founders of humanistic psychology. I am soo happy your semis meliora is cured from this dreadful decease, that is so wonderful. Abraham Maslow is absolutely the best. It is a misfortune that he died at such an early age, he has given so much to humanity. I have read and often re-read his books: " Toward a Psychology of Being" and "The Farther Reaches of Human Nature", brilliant, as is all his work. You probably will find an answer to your question in the latter book . Haldav people like you simply don't go insane  Sorry but Maslow work is a subject I could go on and on about - it transports me into world that I am sure simply must exist, His theory on self actualization etc. - his way of explaining human nature is so real and so realistic, well that's where i get lost for words. he said, in an attempt to elaborate he said : ' that the English language was rotten for good people, it hasn't got enuff words for the virtues...' Sorry, I talk to much... [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 12, 2008 9:27:04 AM] |

Does that last remark mean I am not a genius? http://www.beinghealthynaturally.com/mentalhealth/creativityinstanity.htm I think you made a Freudian slip when you typed "decease" instead of "disease." Subconsciously we all associate cancer with death, but are loath to admit it. |

No JP thank you, I really rather fly in my UFO, it is safer and a helicopter does not fly high enuff.
---------------------------------------- I have been in a helicopter several times but I was very scared.JP , it was I who did the quoting. I rather like it, it looks interesting, like a kind of UFO pattern.  I am sorry JP Haldav I am soo sorry, I did not know going insane goes with genius! Or are you thinking of John Nash, the American Nobel price winner in Economics, 1994. Sylvia Nasar , the author describes his life and his brilliant cotribution to game theory? Have you read it? "A Beautiful Mind" . Oh it is such a compelling book and so well written. Oliver Sacks said: Quote: ".. i t is remarkable for it's sympathetic insights into both genius and schizophrenia" No I never thought nor said you were not genius. Sorry about the Freudian slip.  Thank you for the link. [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 13, 2008 8:25:46 AM] |

Christine, if you read between the lines, you will see that Jean was not criticising our quoting - just trying to prevent it going too far and causing scrolling problems.
I don't think anyone has succeeded in establishing a relationship beteen genius and madness. Freud comes into it somewhere but I think it was said of him rather than by him. I think most typos are just that, though I am not sure about omitting the "c" in exciting! |
