  • Summary

  • Some questions for conversation in the chat and discussion:

    Dr. Oepen identified his favorite thinker in the field as Dr. Oliver Sacks, a neurologist. What do you think about his choice?

    The worst idea in psychiatry was the ideas of blaming the mother for mental conditions. Many clinicians, especially trained in the Freudian tradition, still tend to blame parents for the problems of their clients. Why? Is this acceptable?

    Dr. Oepen’s family suffered from the Nazi regime, and resisted it. Yet he was blamed by some people throughout his life for being German. Discrimination occurs in people where we might not realize it is occuring, such as in his case, a person outsiders might simply see as a priviliged white male. How does this observation affect many of our assumptions today about discrimination?

    An important psychiatric teacher in his life was Dr. Rudolf Degkwitz? Who was he? Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Degkwitz

    And he mentioned Dr. Kurt Goldstein, as an important influence. Who was he? Read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Goldstein
