In SR 7, it was said that Gabor Maté’s In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts is a great book but that it contains some significant problems. Revision: he shares some useful information and knowledge when it comes to the anatomy of addiction, and he reproduces some valuable insights, but he himself is not insightful as a result of the alleged fact that he’s empathically disabled, as I hope to show in the future, along with providing evidence for other charges.

Good article, but there are other works by him, especially pertaining to the question
of hierarchies, that make him look like an apologist for the status quo; so be careful.

C.G. Jung, Seven Sermons to the Dead,
Ann T. Johnston, Coming Home to Ourselves,
(worth reading, but can’t find the link anymore).
Julia Vaughn Smith, Traumatized Psyche,
Connie Zweig and Jeremiah Abrams, Meeting the Shadow,
In my view, the contributions by Peck, Guggenbuhl-Craig, Kopp, Pierrakos, Whitmont and Wilbur, among the ones I’ve read, contain serious flaws. There’s a short excerpt from a text by Rollo May that seems innocuous, but his other texts do reveal very serious problems. Critical comments may appear in the future for each. But since Whitmont’s contribution seems to be the most treacherous, to see this more clearly it will help to also read “The Destiny Concept in Psychotherapy” (also by him), which contains its own red flags, especially when juxtaposed with Glen Slater’s “A Mythology of Bullets,” and if we take into consideration the fact that the creative potential in us does not have a masculine character. Finally, the fact that the boot camp mentality and other problems are subtly evidencing themselves in the volume edited by Z & A does not make it less hard to perceive the man as a Jungian analyst, even if there are merits in some of his ideas and analyses.

Most of the stuff that I had saved in SR8 for the future, including critical comments for a number of past postings, are irretrievably lost. So there’s no SR8 to post on my site in the future. Which in turn means that the routine has been broken to a large extent, since I can’t recall most of the stuff that I had saved. Nor can I remember the comments that I had saved, for the most part. Postings will, however, continue on this blog, but likely less frequently and/or in less quantity than before. And I guess there’s a chance that a new SR8 will be created in the future, even if this doesn’t seem too likely at this point.
