My name is Lennart Borgman. I am interested in psychology and society. What makes us think and feel as we do?
It was natural that I during my psychologist studies became more and more interested in shame since that seems to be involved in the question above. Thoughts about that put me on a long road. I want to share with you some thoughts along that road.
If you read my blog you will notice that I am quite disappointed about the medicine part of psychiatry. It lacks in just too many cases real scientific support as far as I can see. I will point you to some of those cases, just to give you an impression of the quality of research in that area. Any comment on better or even worse research in that area is most welcome. Let us clear it out!
But I would not have started this blog if there was not anything better to show. There is. Even though some of the best researchers in the medicine part of psychiatry seems to have not heard of it.
I hope to surprise you with some good things I have seen. The good things are quite near the “alternative” field. I believe psychology is going to move closer to that field. There are scientific reasons to do so. The still emerging field of neuropsychologi/biology gives us new tools to understand in a new way things people have known for very long time. But that we often did not understand and therefore always did not believe in.
This is science at it bests. Curiosity about the reality.
Unfortunately there is also science as a tool for earning money. Those things do not go that well together always. If you do not know what I mean now you will after reading here.
It is necessary to tell about the dark sides because we need to protect people from them. However there is no need to stay on the dark side. No need to tell more than what is needed to protect.
So I will try to concentrate on the good side.
