Soren Kierkegaard...our deepest desires...

One of my classmates who likes existentialism stuff
reminded me of Kierkegaard...
How can I forget about him? I just needed to
brush-up details from a book,
The Sickness Unto Death.

This guy just keeps tracing the most important things,
in my opinion, such as how despair traps our souls...

Beautifully written....Oddly, he reminds me of Nietzsche..
not because both are a kind of existential philosophers,
but because of their poetic and lyrical sentences.
I really liked the Penguin Classics Paperback edition.
This is my first time to read him
in English because I have read it in Japanese when
I was back in Japan

Possible Treatment: (Focus on Positives!)

"...stimulates an interest in resilience, or the role of protective factors, and aan examination of those feature of either
the child or the environment that may alter the developmental pathway such that adjustment, rather than maladjustment."
(S.Calkins & N. Fox, 2002, Self-regulatory processes in early personality development: A multilevel approach to the study of childhood social
withdrawal and aggression, Development and Psychopathology, 14, 2002, 477-498.
The clinician designs and brings to bear a treatment package on the condition. (p256)

Internal, cover forms of self-directed behavior...(p244-)
(R. Barkley, ADHD A Handbook fro Diagnosis and Treatment. 2nd Ed.)

Let's pretend that I am a classical behaviorist. I wounder if I can observe internal forms of behavior.

"I'm having trouble talking."
"You can't bring yourself to say what you'd really like to say,
isn't that what you mean?"
"I don't know."
