It’s that time of the year. As has become a tradition in
these parts, I have chosen to celebrate Cyber Monday by beginning my annual
fundraising campaign.
I have been putting up daily posts on this blog for more
than eleven years now. I trust that some people will consider that to be
praiseworthy. Obviously, it takes time and work to do the job, and I could not
have done it without the financial support of you, the readers.
So, allow me to thank you for your past and future
generosity. It is much appreciated.
In principle, this blog attempts to keep you informed of the
latest from the psycho world. It has tracked he influence of therapy culture,
its effects on individuals and its political and social fallout. We would be wrong to limit the influence of therapy to individual cases. So, I have expanded the
coverage to include questions involving political psychology, social
psychology, organizational psychology and so on.
Precious few writers are doing this job, but surely it needs
to be done. It is important that we recognize the way therapy has come to
define our culture, direct our actions and influence our thoughts.
Anyway, this project does require financial support.
You can contribute by clicking on the orange Donate button, on the left side of
this page. Then, the folks at Paypal will help you to contribute as much as you
would like.
This year, as a special service, you can also fund the blog by doing your Christmas shopping at Amazon. If you enter the Amazon
site by clicking the Amazon ad at the left of this page, a percentage of each
purchase price will be credited to your humble blogger. Thus, you can support
the blog-- at no extra cost.
If you do not wish to use Paypal, I gratefully accept checks
or cash sent to my address:
310 East 46th St. 24H
New York, NY 10017
If you have a friend or a relative who is a psychoanalyst or
who still clings to Freudian theory, you can do him a great favor by sending a
copy of my book, The Last Psychoanalyst.
When I wrote it I suggested
that it shows how a pseudoscience became a pseudo religion. But, I also showed
how Freud created something that resembles what we now call a rape culture. The term was not in
use five years ago, but if you read the book carefully you will see that I was somewhat prescient. The book is a perfect
holiday gift. You can buy a copy by using the link at left.
Since this is a week long fundraising campaign, I will be
repeating this post several other times throughout the week. Be prepared.
Thank you in advance.
