day after I let go at the woman psychologist on RNZ pratlling on about culture specific mental illness Gordon Allports book on patterns of personality development turned up on the Family Store bookrack!!!!!!!!!!
a quick read and I was reassured that my thesis was basically correct.
Allport was a sometime and very influential professor of Psychology at Harvard University in the 1930's.
He completely understood Freud but disagreed with him in the final analysis that the id has primacy over the ego.
In other words he went for the normative rather than a positive view of humanity.
His ought became an is.
He wanted to believe that somehow the veneer of civilisation is more than skin deep and permanent.
nooooooooo
Allport also gave space to the apostates Jung and Adler both of who studied under Freud took what what they needed and then dished the rest.
sly bastards.
See the worst thing that ever happened to the social sciences in New Zealand was when the weasel Karl Popper came here and spread a whole lot of nonsense that was agreeable to lazy, repressed and resistant persons who made up the cadre of prominence after the the best stayed in England. After the war, he slunk back to safety and the drongos took over.
hmmmmmm
Allport is also sort of ho hum about philosophers and one can only suppose that he never read them properly or only read prescribed texts at school and never went any further.
Just like many others!
hehehehehehe.
Went to Upper Hutt his a.m.
Whoever designed the new Station needs a rocket.
They have placed two toilets in the middle of the ticket office and waiting room and there is not much ventilation.
poooooh.
anyway the Warehouse was rocking and so was the supermarket.
whooooo hoooo.
I had to go to UH because I needed to return some cd's to the person who lends them to me.
As my windows media player gets closer and closer to 1000 albums it seems to be getting ready to choke again.
enough is enough.
anyway I got a copy of Sympathy For The Devil from the redshed. 2 dvds including the directors cut.
My friend hates it for the very same reasons I like it.
its off in that french way but has enough insights and study of the human condition to make it worth while.
