OCCUPY AND OPPRESSION

In my book THE MEETING OF TWO PERSONS: WHAT THERAPY SHOULD BE I describe the role of oppression and the social, political, and familial factors leading to emotional distress. The Occupy movement has been a reaction to oppression, but sdly we are seeing more oppression occurring in the means goverment authorities have sought to shut down this movement in various cities. I hope that those who are truly dedicated to restoring community, ending disparity, and addressing injustice, will continue to speak out and that a continued public discourse will take place.

OCCUPY WALL STREET

In my book THE MEETING OF TWO PERSONS, I discussed the social, political, and familial factors leading to emotional distress and the role of oppression. I suggested that society was 'ill' and that people had become apathetic, prone to taking abuse, and that society had offered its technologies and drugs to keep people in conformity. The Occupy movement is that hopeful awakening that I spoke of in this book, a movement that encourages young people to stand up against oppression and injustice.
