Mental illness, creativity, reality vs. fantasy; transgender, euthanasia,meaning of life from Sasha Rolde

Dear Colleagues:

Last week I wrote you in slightly blissful ignorance of the outside world, but reality certainly came crashing down on all of us this week with the mass killing of 9 In Historic Black Church In Charleston, South Carolina. I am in agreement with president Obama when he announces that he will not accept this as the new status quo and “yet another mass killing,”  which he says does not happen in other civilized countries and with this type of frequency, Complacency and acceptance does not solve the problem. I therefore turn to all of us and to the posts on our website to make some sense of what is happening and why the violence in this country. However, I also believe that violence in all parts of the world is on the rise or at least more visible – as evidenced in the middle east and various occurrences in Europe – e.g. France. Is it overpopulation, envy, greed, thirst for power, intense poverty, global warming to name just a few***. ? Please comment on the website. I am a firm believer that insight can lead to rational solutions to a problem and of all professional disciplines, we most certainly should be able to have something to say on this subject. What would Freud make of the modern world – call it a regression?

My choices for this week:

1) Apropos behavior and mental illness: “Creativity, it would seem, has a dark side, but the Icelandic researchers aren’t the first to suggest so. A 2009 study in Hungary connected a genetic mutation linked to psychosis and schizophrenia with creativity as well. A 2011 study similarly found creative people share certain traits with those who have schizotypal disorders.”

b) so what really went on in Wonderland – or what is really going on in our world?
“We can all too easily picture her, quote her, or follow her example in the nonsense of our own lives without having read—or even feeling that we need to read—word of Lewis Carroll.

Yet the need is more urgent than ever. Carroll wrote with a peppery briskness, impatient of folly, and always alive to the squalls of emotion that we struggle to curb:”
“If I wasn’t real,” Alice said “half laughing through her tears, it all seemed so ridiculous”I shouldn’t be able to cry.” “I hope you don’t suppose those are real tears?” Tweedledum interrupted in a tone of great contempt.”

5) Many have commented on the transgender issue, colleges, the army schools are struggling with how to react to it, young people are both considering and reacting to it. As a person who has worked with children, teenagers, college students and parents for decades, I will not comment – but will refer you to the new world of numerous posts on the blog on the subject and await your responses

6) and speaking of violence in the world, evidently not as new or increasing as I suggested in my introduction – just different in different parts of the world depending upon the historical perspective. Please read:

6) I have not as yet analyzed why there seems to be a connection in my mind between “euthanasia- the death treatment: and the transgender discussion effectiveness but what occurs is the idea of letting people have control over their destiny and not leaving life to chance if one can help it.
