Status Updates From We've Had 100 Yrs Psychothe...

To think of the superego as an aesthetic principle instead of a moral one is very nice; however, though I completely agree that usefulness isn't the point and to do that would miss the whole point of this, I think in aesthetics there can be a role to raising concioussness about the social condition we are all living in (i.e. alienation) and then tie it in with a comunal concern

Therapy as an aesthetics of forming in play, athletics, movement, gesture, rather than rather than introspection into insight, understanding emotional balance, etc. This is very good, but then what is the therapist in this situation? Not a doctor in the sense of treating a patient, and definitely not a employee seeking clients.

Before it was pointed out that therapy actively denies any involvement with the environment the psyche is coupled with. How cities, people, family, etc. affect us deeply, and how maybe different cities contain different "souls" and may require different therapies; however, he and his friend still want to believe in a true self based on archetypes, traceable in écrits. Isn't this the whole problem?
