> It looks dippy, I know. It can sound like the cheapest form of platitudinous self-help baloney, etc., etc., and does little for the existentialist to feed their intellect, but I'm rather convinced, mu-receptors or no, that this approach has its merits.
Dear Adam,I don't know what the hell you are talking about here, except that I tried some of your boloney today. It enabled me to take care of some paperwork that I have been putting off since September. Thanks for the tip and the transient motivation.
Sincerely,
ScottOh yeah, CBT is for real. BIG TIME. I would be surprised if the person you were replying to would think otherwise - not sure, though. I think it is a matter of choosing the right therapy for the right person for the properly evaluated problem.
I don't know why so many perspectives need be black or white, up or down, in or out. Although I truly believe that such is useful in a Socratic dialogue to hopefully arrive closer to the truth, I'm not sure that polar thinking is productive with regard to mental illness. I know the words I listed in a post along a different thread make me look even more pretentious than I really am, but they are four of my favorites - even Lake Webster.
2.5 cents.

In a conversation I had with William Z. Potter, he indicated to me that he thought the inhibition of MAO-B was actually counterproductive when treating major depression and bipolar disorder. I believe him. BIG TIME.(sorry)
