One of the things that turns me off to psychology is the way so many prominent theories seem like they describe the author not the broader population.

@lakamokolaka 3 жыл бұрын

Well they can describe certain parts of the population of what happens as a result of certain factors

@2Sor2Fig 3 жыл бұрын

From a scientific point of view, my issue with psychology is the same, primarily that the sample sizes they base their conclusions on are far too small to be a meaningful representation, and the results are more qualitative than quantitative. I don't blame them much, though, they didn't have many tools to perform quantitative studies and were probably doing the best with what they had available. Gotta start somewhere. I compare it to how Leeuwenhoek's microscope provided the foundation for microbiology and biochemistry.

I remember reading a series of essays on psychological armouring by that guy. I came to the conclusion that you really need to be sceptical. He's like if Freud was having a manic episode every seventh paragraph: He'd have this knack for starting off making a completely coherent point, say analysing a patient or something, and you'd be nodding along like "ok, I can see that" and then apropos of nothing he'd be like "AND THAT MEANS THAT THE PATIENT WANTS TO RAVAGE THEIR FATHER'S ANAL CAVITY!" and you'd sit there like "What the fuck, where did that come from?"

I used to be into Reich for what’s now called bioenergetics, basically breathing and stretching exercises to loosen chronic tension that affects your mind and personality. Our mind creates physical tensions which creates a feedback loop of negativity until you intervene through physical exercises. So, he had some really positive effects for many ppl. It’s sad to hear that he was like this tho. If I were alive then, I’d probably have a very bad impression of him.

It is one of those controversial personalities in the history of psychology.

It's more similar to a natural heroin addiction. In that people who do this tend to become very passive. It can also often go over into paraphilias. Which might not necessarily be about mothers. Or in that case it might be about rejecting your mother? And parental authority. Where you can't imagine being attracted to one of those authorities. Or loathe the very idea of adulthood. This seemed to have been sort of the case with Michael Jackson. He just seemed to loathe the idea of adults. And probably felt threatened and depressed by the idea of them.

@claykline2830 Жыл бұрын

If you read any Reich you will see him more of a tragic figure and a very wholesome one in his later life. Most forms of body and breathing therapy come from him. Visiting his institute was a very great experience. Many patients were real happy with him and a lot of his political writings remain real influential still. I think his slander from the press tarnished any sort of positive image of him. Reading anything by him shows a very careful and compassionate man. Yes he was very blunt and obsessed with sex. But the experiments were to help cure people , and yes to an obscure degree.They made him tense with opposition from the government and fascists and psychoanalysts throughout his life.

I first heard about Reich thanks to "WR: Mysteries of the Organism" which is a film part the Criterion Collection. It's loosely connected scenes that sort of expand on the philosophy of Reich. It was quite interesting and i highly recommend to get more insight into what he was looking into. But it is a weirdo art-house film, so definitely not for everyone. But I found it so interesting I went ahead and purchased one of Reich's books after watching the film.

Incidentally, he didn't "discover" orgone: He RE-discovered it. It's the same thing the ancient Indians called "prana," the Chinese, "chi," Anton Mesmer, "animal magnetism," and Karl von Reichenbach, "od." Modern-day occultists simply call it, the "astral fluid."
