I usually value most of what appears on IPCE, but this one mystifies me a bit. So-called "cognitive distortions" are a weapon of modern psychotherapy to stigmatise and pathologise any thoughts or beliefs are deemed unacceptable by the dominant cultural and economic regime. Perverts of all people should be suspicious of experts telling us that we are wrong and deluded to think the things that we think, even if what we think is that we might not be as great and successful and unique as consumer capitalism demands we believe ourselves to be. |
