The Psychology of Mothering

zee writes "but dissing the 'mother' instinct..."

Zee mian you're overlooking the bigger picture in the disease that this shrink suffers from. He is "dissing" that instinct because the corporation that defines US/Western culture wants to devalue it and thus presents an image of a woman totally enslaved to their ways as being "liberated"- liberated from freedom, from family and from their own biology- The shrink not having the brains to know this, is merely swallowing their image in his attempt to kiss the white man's a$$ with greater frequency....

Hamid gave a graphic discription of that on chowk once, read through his interacts, and learn from your supervisor, the white man has designated him his chief peon on Chowk....

zee writes " finally read the article, prompted by an interact below. Wow this is unbelievable. You certainly excel and break your own records in each article:"

Which record were you talking about? The one where this shrink (and his partner Gill) have set world records in inventing ingenious ways of kissing the white man's a$$, and in doing so finding the purpose of their perverted lives...

A social structure with its network of institutions is like a house, people come and people go but the house stays the same with minor variations at best, unless the system is brought down by a revolution...which often gets coopted by adding a room here or there or installing new windows (for dressing) while preventing the house from collapsing- like the recent elections achieved for Pakistan....

Benazir’s Legacy

Even your most intelligent people do not grasp this reality about social institutions, they try to change the top military brass by appointing those they think will not backstab them but the military institution sends only a certian type to the top, and regardless of who he is he will do the same as the others before him have done...people see new faces fitting into or emerging at the top positions of an institution and they think that the person is good or the person is evil while ignoring the institution that has rewarded them and what kind of people it allows to reach the top.... What Mills who was the smartest man that ever lived in the US was saying was simply this: institutions that predate the individual into which the individual fits are the source of power and wealth and not the person. Make a military general in Pakistan take off the uniform and he becomes powerless overnight, regardless of whether he fills the presidential seat- so was the power located in Musharraf or was it located in the military institution that raised that person up for a specific purpose which he completed at a set time otherwise if he had not molded according to the dictates of the institution he would have retired a major at best.... even that would have been beyond the pay scale of that pigeon brained sob.

Jayp writes "This time you have quoted a total dimwit. What you have quoted is a totological statement, some thing like " if one removes the elements of fame, then that person will not be a celebrity..."

That is where you're totally wrong, it is you who is the dimwit there is absolutely no tautology involved. Institutions predate and postdate the individual, the individual is made or broken by how well he molds himself and gets access to the sources of power inherent in the institution- which rewards and punishes certain types of people. It is not in the individual that power or wealth is located but in the institution that either grants that power/wealth or does not regardless of the person's character.It is not the person that makes the institution but the institution that makes a person and if an institution is based on corruption to benefit the few, you will become corrupt regardless of your upbringing, if you don't you will amount to nothing because the mechanisms that reward and punish will punish you. That is simply what he was saying.

You need to learn how the society in which you or anyone else is living operates, otherwise you're shooting blanks in the dark and thinking you hit the jackpot- the quote said and I repeat, remove the person from the institution and the position he occupies in it and the power that is maintained because of it and that person becomes very ordinary and powerless-

This answer goes for #64 who has absolutely no clue about what character is and what social institutions are- an example of a blind mad who grabs the tail of an ass and thinks he has found his leyla....

Masadi listen to us.

We sent you to Pakistan for a reason and you are not abiding by our rules. If you don't comply then we are going to have to terminate your contract with us.

The Peon of the West tried to warn you but you are a complete idiot.

We hope you understand.

the shrink writes "ps...the last time i was in lahore was to interview javed iqbal mughal in his death cell in kot lakhpat jail in 2000 ..."

Now he thinks he's the goddamned agent Starling (Jodie Foster) from the Silence of the Lambs.....geez these morons never cease to amaze me!

Here is a better source for you than the Wiki junk. Something for you all to chew upon, how the environmental (societal) influences translate into the so called genetic causes of ailments, like the alcoholism gene and what not. From Nature magazine:

Genetics: Junk DNA as an evolutionary force
Christian Biémont1 & Cristina Vieira1

Transposable elements were long dismissed as useless, but they are emerging as major players in evolution. Their interactions with the genome and the environment affect how genes are translated into physical traits.

Transposable elements (TEs) — commonly called 'jumping genes' — are stretches of DNA that move around the genome of a cell, and the genomes of many higher organisms are cluttered with numerous copies of these enigmatic elements. They were discovered by Barbara McClintock in the 1950s (Box 1), but it has taken half a century to begin to understand how they act and the effects they can have.

Tahmed writes "You are merely repeating long discarded beliefs ..."

Tahmed quotes from the Wiki "While psychosocial issues were still seen as valid..."

So his "proof" belies what he was claiming. Not to mention that mitigating the symptoms is not the same as cure otherwise we wouldn't come across numbers of 80% of the US society suffering from some form or the other or 22% suffering from diagnosable psychiatric ailments- Can you imaging what kind of a "Cure" of smallpox they had discovered if 22% of the population was suffering from it?

Second, the cheap and quick copypaste from Wiki does not say that your meds- that mitigate the symptoms (I had not disputed that)- so does alcohol to some extent of many of those problems- are either the cure of those ailments not reflect upon the cause on why they occur in the first place and their frequency variation in various societies.
