(no subject)

[improbcat]: The problem is the gist of this I get is: "Everyone's problems are derived from their wish to fuck everything that moves (and some things that don't) and the therapist's job is to tell them they don't want to fuck everything that moves (and some things that don't) but in actually want to fuck one or both of their parents"
[RivkaWald]: Well there you go: "Kernberg believes that borderline problems stem from unresolved Oedipal conflicts, resulting in insufficient impulse control. The therapist's job is to help patients resolve their unconscious Oedipal conflicts, thus reducing the overt expression of these conflicts in antisocial or self-destructive pathology."

It's useful to have friends who know how to bullshit effectively. :)

psych paper revisited

Well I wrote th damn thing. It's somewhere between mediocre and bad, but at least it's written. And if I understand the sylabus I will have a chance for multiple revisions. Now to drag myself off to a shower, breakfast then classes. Three hours of sleep is not enough for this kitten."

P.S. I promise a weekend update sometime after I've rested. It was a busy and interesting weekend.
