文學評論和食慾
王德威的文學評論寫得很典雅綿密
缺點是看了之後你就不想讀原作了
有點像讀了食譜就沒有食慾了
這件事提醒我們不要洩漏天機
也不要隨便託夢或被託夢
你去一個地方你去第二次第三次以至長住在那裡
你知道這件事很重要但你無法解釋
王德威也不該以為他能夠解釋
以上說明心理治療者
面對食慾要存敬畏之心
以上說明人文學的知識化
糟蹋的是生命本身
你現在可以理解為什麼

time travel
watching Clint Eastwood
watching that porn show, between the president of the US, and the young wife of
his elderly loyal friend, in front of him, in Absolute Power (1997), i find
myself unable to stand it, go on watching, as he did; just came back from
gloria outlet, talked with D about time travel on the way, my point is, the
historian would be fascinated, but disappointed, after all, if he did do the
time travel, he would find himself puzzled as before, despite with the benefit
of hindsight, e.g. back to China 1949, he would still not know how and why the
KMT lost China to CCP so badly; this explains what Milan Kundera tried to say,
in the first page, in The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1984), only nothing
less than eternal return can promise perfection, 關於歷史 你只有一次機會

Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China's Drive for Global Supremacy (Bill Gertz, Encounter Books, 2019-9-3)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g984562_fJA
https://gertzfile.com/
The United States' approach to China since the Communist regime in Beijing began the period of reform and opening in the 1980s was based on a promise that trade and engagement with China would result in a peaceful, democratic state.
Forty years later the hope of producing a benign People's Republic of China utterly failed. The Communist Party of China deceived the West into believing that the its system and the Party-ruled People's Liberation Army were peaceful and posed no threat. In fact, these misguided policies produced the emergence of a 21st Century Evil Empire even more dangerous than a Cold War version in the Soviet Union.
Successive American presidential administrations were fooled by ill-advised pro-China policymakers, intelligence analysts and business leaders who facilitated the rise not of a peaceful China but a threatening and expansionist nuclear-armed communist dictatorship not focused on a single overriding strategic objective: Weakening and destroying the United States of America.
Defeating the United States is the first step for China's current rulers in achieving global supremacy under a new world order based an ideology of Communism with Chinese characteristics.
The process included technology theft of American companies that took place on a massive scale through cyber theft and unfair trade practices. The losses directly supported in the largest and most significant buildup of the Chinese military that now directly threatens American and allied interests around the world. The military threat is only half the danger as China aggressively pursues regional and international control using a variety of non-military forces, including economic, cyber and space warfare and large-scale influence operations.
Deceiving the Sky: Inside Communist China's Drive for Global Supremacy details the failure to understand the nature and activities of the dangers posed by China and what the United States can do in taking needed steps to counter the threats. (amazon)

The Gernsback Continuum (William Gibson, 1981)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Gibson (b 1948)
Patrick Smith, 2014 (accessible via scribd)
Enlightenment reason is presented as an example of what he terms a ‘grand narrative’: an underlying pattern that resolves historical change into a single, totalising framework. William Gibson’s ‘The Gernsback Continuum’ (1981) effectively illustrates Lyotard’s argument in its tale of a photographer hired to catalogue the remnants of futuristic designs from the 1930s, ‘an architecture of broken dreams’ from when ‘what the public wanted was the future’ (Gibson 1988: 40–1). In the photographer’s mind, these fragments mesh not only with the technological visions of pulp science fiction but also with the Nazi architecture of the same period: ‘The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome . . . but the rockets on the covers of the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming’ (Gibson 1988: 41). Eventually, the photographer’s thoughts become so intermingled that he is haunted by ‘semiotic phantoms’ (Gibson 1988: 44):
They were white, blond, and they probably had blue eyes . . . Here, we’d gone on and on, in a dream logic that knew nothing of pollution, the finite bounds of fossil fuel, or foreign wars it was possible to lose . . . It had all the sinister fruitiness of Hitler Youth propaganda. (Gibson 1988: 47)
Gibson’s explicit link between fascism and technological progress decentres the grand narrative of scientific optimism by arguing that it conceals a covert totalitarianism. However, Gibson’s protagonist only drowns out his ghosts by submitting to another kind of dystopia: the ‘really bad media’ of contemporary culture (Gibson 1988: 48).

為什麼中國大陸的電視連續劇裡沒有男女主角的父親的角色
我說的父親是男女主角的父親簡單講沒有祖父比如說爸爸快長大裡面崔朕的爸爸長得很像領導卻是一個沒有過去歷史的不存在的人年輕的時候忙著工作養家是對於他的唯一的描述宋大楠的岳父是一個喜歡下象棋的老頭長得不像幹部就真實得多孫強的父親沒有出現王珊珊的父親是成功的企業家但沒有交代他的成功是多少關係和潛規則經營出來的相對於父親連續劇裡的母親比較真實她們唯一存在的理由就是干涉成年兒女的一切她們的娛樂就是跳廣場舞為什麼八零九零後的主角們沒有真實的父親因為他們的父親在中共建政的頭四十年不可能不殺人不害人假如他有成就的話比如說我愛男閨蜜裡面梁師傅是國企退休下來的剃頭師傅所以我們的結論是1949-1989唯一敢於存在面對歷史的父親唯一能做的事情是剃頭

尋找一個正常的不正常的故事的可能性
This article proposes that the therapist assessing a patient for BDP should attempt to establish a twofold focus that integrates the work of the psychodynamic and nonpsychodynamic contributors to brief therapy. The twofold focus consists of both an external situational or plot focus and an internal psychodynamic focus, which, continuing the literary analogy, can be called the character focus. (Alan Barasch, 1999, p. 51)
When contraindications have been ruled out, when a plot focus and a character focus can be established, and when the informed patient wants a brief therapy—and this may be the case for the majority of patients who ask for our help—then brief dynamic therapy is not only feasible but the treatment of choice. (p. 53)
Substantial experience with BDP shows that it is possible to foster characterologic or dynamic change in brief treatments. By exploring repetitive patterns of conflict, BDP can reveal the deeper meaning beneath current problems. In this regard BDP stands in the middle between the position of nonpsychodynamic brief therapies and the position of many psychoanalytically oriented therapists.
The nonpsychodynamic brief therapies tend to avoid character and try to deal with symptoms directly, for example, by reasoning and correcting faulty cognition (cognitive-behavior therapy), or by suggested solutions to problems and cheerleading (IPT). They select patients by DSM (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) diagnosis and aimfor symptomreduction. They do not use transference to clarify focus or locate the origins of repetitive character patterns in past relationships. (p. 57)
In closing I will offer a few ideas fromthe history of the modern short story. For Edgar Allen Poe, its first modern practitioner, the two key principles of the short story were what he called “singleness of effect”—a particular emotional experience Poe focused on reproducing—and a length brief enough to be read in its entirety in one evening so as to have maximum impact on the mind of the reader.
For Williams James the structure of the short story was that it should be “a situation revealed” (Stegner and Stegner, 1957).
A recent literary handbook (Harmon andHolman, 1996) compares the novel and short story in this way: “The novel… tends to show character developing as the result of actions …. (The short story) may be distinguished fromthe novel in that it tends to reveal character through actions, the purpose of the story being accomplished when the reader comes to know what the true nature of the character is.”
Finally let me quote what WilliamTrevor (1987) has written about Anton Chekhov, perhaps the greatest contributor to the modern short-story form: “Chekhov noticed,” said Trevor, “that there was something the novel could not do: inspired, he fashioned the art of the glimpse” (book jacket of Love and Other Stories).
“The art of the glimpse”: this image might be kept in mind as we try to give brief psychodynamic therapy its distinct status as a separate, vital, psychotherapeutic formin its own right. (p. 58)

The Short Story: An Introduction (Paul March-Russell, Edinburgh University Press, 2009)
This new general introduction emphasises the importance of the short story to an understanding of modern fiction.In twenty succinct chapters, the study paints a complete portrait of the short story - its history, culture, aesthetics and economics. European innovators such as Chekhov, Flaubert and Kafka are compared to Irish, New Zealand and British practitioners such as Joyce, Mansfield and Carter as well as writers in the American tradition, from Hawthorne and Poe to Barthelme and Carver.Fresh attention is paid to experimental, postcolonial and popular fiction alongside developments in Anglo-American, Hispanic and European literature. Critical approaches to the short story are debated and reassessed, while discussion of the short story is related to contemporary critical theory. In what promises to be essential reading for students and academics, the study sets out to prove that the short story remains vital to the emerging culture of the twenty-first century.

Ruin and Redemption in Architecture (Dan Barasch (Author), Dylan Thuras (Contributor), Phaidon Press, 2019-4-17)
Lost, forgotten, reimagined, and transformed: the compelling beauty of abandoned, reinvented, and rescued architecture
Ruin and Redemption in Architecture captures the awe-inspiring drama of abandoned, forgotten, and ruined spaces, as well as the extraordinary designs that can bring them back to life - demonstrating that reimagined, repurposed, and abandoned architecture has the beauty and power to change lives, communities, and cities the world over.
The scale and diversity of abandoned buildings is shown through examples from all around the world, demonstrating the extraordinary ingenuity of their transformation by some of the greatest architectural designers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Examples range from Victorian gas holders, imposing railway stations, factories, World War II flak towers and bunkers to Gothic churches and belle époque theaters.
This compelling book also brings to life the fascinating stories behind high-profile projects such as the High Line in New York, Tate Modern in London, the Prada campus in Milan, and Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town, as well as extraordinary lesser-known abandoned - and regenerated - spaces around the world.
Iconic work from the stars of the 20th century including Marcel Breuer, Louis Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright - as well as extraordinary transformations by such contemporary masters as Jean Nouvel, OMA, Thomas Heatherwick, and Herzog & de Meuron.
Ruin and Redemption in Architecture includes a foreward by Dylan Thuras, co-founder of Atlas Obscura, a guide to the world's most obscure places. (amazon)
Hong Kong May Topple Communism (Gordon G. Chang, WSJ, 2019-9-25)

http://tw.aboluowang.com/2019/0927/1348462.html
A constant of Chinese history is that regimes begin to disintegrate along the periphery.
As Hong Kong entered the 16th straight week of unrest, protesters adopted origami cranes as symbols of resistance, sang their new anthem, burned the Chinese national flag, erected barricades, threw petrol bombs and beat opponents unconscious. The protest movement in the semiautonomous region now has taken on characteristics of an insurgency as people across Hong Kong society vigorously challenge local authorities.
The 79-day “Umbrella” protest of 2014, as large as it was, had little lasting effect on Beijing, which has ruled Hong Kong as a “special administrative region” since 1997. This year’s protests are different. “China’s disintegration is now under way,” Arthur Waldron, a China historian at the University of Pennsylvania, told me last month.
In Chinese history, regimes often unravel from the outside in. “Disintegration,” Mr. Waldron told me, “begins at the limits of empire, only to grow, steadily undermining adjacent territory, until the seats of central power are imperiled.” That’s what happened in the 10th century to the mighty Tang dynasty, which, as Mr. Waldron puts it, was “mortally wounded by military disorders remote to the capital.”
Similarly, in the mid-19th century, the Qing dynasty was fatally weakened by the 14-year-long Taiping Rebellion. Starting in southern China not far from Hong Kong, the revolt—actually an attempted revolution—claimed an estimated 20 million lives and displaced tens of millions more. The Manchu Qing rulers held onto power for nearly a half-century longer but never recovered from perhaps the most destructive civil war in history.
Almost every analyst today assumes that one way or another, Beijing will prevail in the current crisis. China’s Communist Party maintains the world’s largest standing army, with more than two million personnel. Some 7,000 are already stationed in Hong Kong. The hard-core protesters dressed in black—a “guerrilla force,” according to American correspondent Michael Yon—number only in the thousands.
Yet despite appearances, Beijing is at a disadvantage. The mass of Hong Kong residents firmly oppose Beijing’s encroachments. The protests, initially over a bill that would have allowed extradition to the mainland, have widened in scope. Now the target is China itself and its effort to eliminate the “one country, two systems” arrangement that had promised Hong Kong a “high degree of autonomy.”
China’s efforts to take over Hong Kong have resulted in a shift in self-identification, especially among younger adults. A recent Hong Kong University survey shows that the share of 18- to 29-year-olds who self-identify as Hong Konger rather than Chinese or mixed has surged to about 75% from 40% a decade ago. Almost nobody in this group believes he is Chinese only. A plurality of residents of all ages now see themselves as Hong Konger only.
Changes in self-identification have fueled a still-small independence movement, which did not exist a decade ago. Whether or not Hong Kongers want to separate fully from China, Beijing has to be concerned by protesters there repeating the line from “The Hunger Games”: “If we burn, you burn with us!”
As protesters clash with police, analysts worry about another Tiananmen, the June 1989 slaughter in Beijing. Soldiers in tanks and armored personnel carriers moved to the center of the capital, killing at will.
I think Chinese leaders know that such a response is not possible this time. Hong Kong’s dense urban landscape—tall buildings and narrow roads and alleys—reduces the advantages of armor and favors defenders, who can occupy the high ground from apartment buildings. Many protesters say they’re willing to fight to the end; eight have committed suicide to dramatize their cause.
The militant demonstrators not only are determined but are becoming an effective fighting force. Mr. Yon, who has observed them from the beginning, told me the emerging contingent of youthful fighters is “breathing, growing, evolving so fast that I am having difficulty tracking its evolution.” Chinese ruler Xi Jinping surely does not want his first war to take years, kill thousands of Chinese, and end in a loss.
The authorities don’t have the ability to clear the streets, and the longer the demonstrations continue, the higher the risk they spread to the mainland. Mainlanders have already crossed the border into Hong Kong to stand with the protesters there—like one earnest young man from Guangdong province who spoke with me earlier this month in front of the Mong Kok police station. He and perhaps 1,000 Hong Kong men and women in surgical masks had squared off with riot police in Darth Vader-type helmets and visors.
The majority of mainlanders have little sympathy for Hong Kongers, but they do have grievances of their own, especially as economic growth slows and Mr. Xi enforces tighter social controls. Beijing has to be worried that ordinary Chinese will be inspired by the boldness of those in Hong Kong, who have inflicted severe political damage on Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam and forced her to announce concessions.
Protesters know Beijing is afraid of contagion and have targeted mainland tourists with messages delivered by Apple’s AirDrop app, among other means. They congregate around venues frequented by mainland tourists to press their case.
The protesters have significantly changed the political narrative in Taiwan, which Beijing also considers its rightful possession. Until the Hong Kong protests began, it looked as if a pro-Beijing figure would be elected Taiwan’s president this coming January. Now that’s unlikely. The governing Democratic Progressive Party, sometimes described as “pro-independence,” has shored up support and is expected to retain power.
There will be little for the Chinese Communist Party to celebrate Oct. 1, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic. Its imperial project is stalling and beginning to disintegrate along the periphery.
But refugees from China’s totalitarian rule have reason to be optimistic. A friend of mine fled Mao’s army as it approached Beijing seventy years ago, eventually ending up in New Jersey. She vowed never to return to China as long as the Communist Party ruled and had given up hope of ever going back. Last week, she told my wife she now knows she will soon return. She promises to take us to her favorite restaurant in the capital for a jiaozi dinner.

盛洪：國企業虧損超7萬億元，相當於去年GDP的8.3%
按照所有者權益691681億元計算，約虧損74790億元，相當於去年全國GDP的8.3%。也就是說，國有企業的存在使經濟總量下降了8.3%；而帶來的機會損失就不僅如此。
如果假定國有企業的這些凈資產能夠帶來6%的凈利潤，就說明它們的存在嚴重拖累了經濟增長約11%，是經濟下滑的最主要原因。

Correctional psychiatry has received increasing recognition as an area of practice with unique skills and knowledge. The Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry brings together American and international experts to provide a comprehensive overview of the field. Students and psychiatric residents will find basic information that prepares them for clinical rotations, and psychiatrists working in jails and prisons will find a detailed review of the complex issues that arise in these settings.
The Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry contains 73 chapters divided into 14 sections. The first three sections address history, structure, and processes including chapters on case law, human rights, ethics, organization and funding of systems, and stages of patient management that cover initial assessments through re-entry. The next three sections review in turn a broad array of management issues, emergencies, and psychopharmacology topics. Among other topics, these sections include chapters on sleep, detoxification, reassessment of community diagnoses and treatments, diversion programs, levels of care, malingering, substance use within facilities, and formulary management. Section seven has chapters on common psychiatric disorders, relevant medical disorders, and pain management. Sections eight through ten focus on psychotherapeutic options, suicide risk management, and addictions treatment. Chapters on aggression, self-injury, and other behavioral challenges appear in Section eleven. Section twelve reviews unique assessment and treatment needs of many distinct population groups. Special topics such as forensics, psychological testing, sexual assaults, quality improvement, training, and research, appear in Section thirteen, followed by a section devoted to current resources in correctional healthcare.
The range of topics covered and the number of prominent contributors set this book apart from other available resources. Readers at all stages of their careers will gain the depth of understanding and practical information they need to approach all of the common clinical, organizational, and ethical challenges they face.

Trajectories of prescription drug misuse during the transition from late adolescence into adulthood in the USA: a national longitudinal multicohort study (The Lancet, Psychiatry, 2019-9-19)
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(19)30299-8/fulltext
Summary
Summary
Background
Prescription drug misuse is most prevalent during young adulthood (ages 18–25 years). We aimed to identify prescription drug misuse trajectories for three drug classes (opioids, stimulants, and sedatives or tranquilisers) from adolescence into adulthood, assess the extent to which different trajectories are associated with symptoms of substance use disorder, and identity factors associated with high-risk prescription drug misuse trajectories.
Methods
For this longitudinal multicohort study, nationally representative probability samples of 51 223 adolescents in the USA were followed up across eight waves from age 18 years (cohorts 1976–96) to age 35 years. Data were collected via self-administered paper questionnaires.
Findings
Five prescription drug misuse trajectories were identified and the defining characteristic that differentiated the five trajectories was the age when past-year prescription drug misuse high frequency peaked: rare or no misuse at any age, peak at age 18 years, peak at ages 19–20 years, peak at age 23–24 years, and peak at ages 27–28 years. Similar prescription drug misuse trajectories were identified for each prescription drug class. The later peak misuse trajectory for sedatives and tranquilisers crested at an older age (35 years) than that for the other drug classes. Prescription drug misuse trajectories were all associated with significantly greater odds of having two or more substance use disorder symptoms at age 35 years, especially the later peak trajectories. In controlled analyses, risk factors associated with the high-risk latest peak prescription drug misuse trajectory included high school heavy drinking, cigarette smoking, marijuana use, poly-prescription drug misuse, white race, and not completing a 4-year university degree.
Interpretation
Prescription drug misuse trajectories are heterogeneous, and any high-frequency prescription drug misuse is a strong risk factor for development of substance use disorders during adulthood, especially later-peak prescription drug misuse trajectories. These findings might help practitioners identify individuals at greatest risk for substance use disorders and target intervention strategies.

DNS s/p CO intoxication
Delayed neuropsychiatric syndrome — In up to 40 percent of patients with significant CO exposure, a syndrome of delayed neurologic sequelae (DNS) can arise 3 to 240 days after apparent recovery. Characterized by variable degrees of cognitive deficits, personality changes, movement disorders, and focal neurologic deficits, DNS generally occur within 20 days of CO poisoning, and deficits may persist for a year or longer.
The development of DNS correlates poorly with COHb levels, although the majority of cases are associated with loss of consciousness during acute intoxication.

昨晚我說心理治療者應嗜讀毛姆短篇小說
毛姆不須精神分析的過去決定論就可識人
這簡直是魔術難道你不以為
好看的小說捕捉到陌生人突然不陌生的瞬間
我們必須同意那個瞬間你爸爸是誰媽媽是誰真的不重要
我的意思是說那個瞬間你是誰
才是毛姆和心理治療最大的趣味
