After reading a column like the one Mr. Douthat wrote for today’s paper, I am left wondering if his failings are intellectual, psychological, or both. Since Anna Freud published. The Ego and the Mechanisms of Defense. Mr Douthat is free to live in a world where powerful institutions that have his sympathy are deemed to be worthy of moral authority. For the life of me, what I can...

View From My Windrow. Thoughts I had while waiting for the hay to dry. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. Sigmund Freud lived from 1856 to 1939. And, as we all know, from the science section of the New York Times and the psychology coverage in Time magazine and the introductory courses in psychology we took at community college, Freud has not only passed away, but he is dead, really, really dead. What in heaven’s name, in 2013, is a psychoanalyst? I was a psychiatrist before I became a psychoanalyst, and cont...

View From My Windrow: Finger on the Pulse
http://viewfrommywindrow.blogspot.com/2012/01/finger-on-pulse.html
View From My Windrow. Thoughts I had while waiting for the hay to dry. Friday, January 27, 2012. Finger on the Pulse. I resolve periodically to never again read the “comments” section of anything posted on the internet. Too much exposure to the unbridled id of our culture can, after all, make it hard to get up and go to work in the morning. Here’s the reality I know: One of my patients with schizophrenia, I’ll call him William, told me yesterday that he’d had a really good Christmas....The King shall ...

While kicking around on my ancestry website the other day, I noticed that my Aunt Liz, my mother’s oldest sibling, will be turning 94 in two weeks.

View From My Windrow: Am I religious? Should anyone care?

View From My Windrow. Thoughts I had while waiting for the hay to dry. Sunday, August 7, 2011. Wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, and your God, shall be my God. (The Book of Ruth, 1:16). What is the supposed importance of confessing belief in God? Could any God at least as loving and mature as the best among us. Why would He need it? Many of the doctrinaire would have us believe that it is faith that makes us moral, and secular existence that...
