Re: Psychodynamic explanations, Was: Major unexplained issues, Was: Would like help interpreting DDI

[Guest guest]

I went back to school and became a psychologist for just this reason -

that was a bit of a mistake!

Not really, I learned a lot, and a lot of what I was dealing with was

psychological - but that wasn't the real problem.

Notice that there have been a lot of psychodynamic explanations for

autism too. Then parents started pushing the issue that there are

physical problems that appear consistently with autism, and that those

problems had never been considered. Today, it is the same with

depression. There is now work looking at immunological aspects of

depression, and they have been finding a lot of oxidative damage.

On the road, can't write more, though I'd like to.

Dave.
