(they/them) queer trans lived experience (broken) academic. Mental health, PPIE, labour, resistance.
Indeed - and this gives more fuel to the work coming after the paper

And this will be very disheartening news to all working to advance PPIE whether funded by NIHR or not. They justify this by saying ‘this activity is everyone’s business’. But guess what: we can all read between the (corporate) lines.

Wow: this morning we hosted an @arc-southlondon.bsky.social event on research inclusion in which @drsoapsub.bsky.social warned us about the current dilution and lack of investment in lived experience involvement. This seems an uncanny confirmation of their words

Yes I remember! Well haven't had the chance to go through the NSRE, but there are some v. worrying remarks here about the 'correct' reading of sexuality (as not sexuality) in Freud, which align with what we know of Solms' other work www.theguardian.com/science/arti...
Freud was ‘misunderstood’ and wasn’t so obsessed with sex, new analysis of work suggests
A new edition of his theories on dreams argues that he used ‘sexuality’ to describe any purely pleasureable activity

Well except your phrasing positions us as the naughty children acting out. What would you call the act of assuming astonishment, or professing that one has no idea whatsoever to what another might be referring to?

What a dreadful article! 'the jury is still out as to whether psychoanalysis is a cure'??!! Honey, psychoanalysis starts by moving away from the demand for a 'cure'.

A version of self preservation. Everything else can be construed as maladaptive. Which means a hollowed out, normative psychoanalysis. Note: Solms is the editor of the new revised edition of Freud.

Thanks @louca-mai.bsky.social - and for the very handy list too. Yes please add me - will think on this.
