Dr. Edith Packer’s, Lectures on Psychology The “Subconscious” Fallacy Mar 20, 2018

This is a review of Dr. Edith Packer's, Lectures on Psychology. It is not about the author and only addresses the ideas found in the book. Though I will describe those ideas as both badly mistaken and dangerous, it is not meant to reflect on the personality or character of the author, whom I highly regard as an individual. Perhaps the best summary of the person, Edith Parker, is that provided by her husband George Reisman. The subject from Packer's book I will emphasize is the subconscious, with which she relates the ideas of repression and defence mechanisms. None of...

Child Independence Oct 21, 2017

There is an amazing article, in, of all places, The New Yorker, "How People Learn to Become Resilient," by Maria Konnikova.
