essay progress
Nov. 26th, 2017 12:11 amI mostly just wanted to rant here about this essay We're writing for class, the one We did the survey for. also We've been getting very helpful results from that--thanks to those who have contributed! We're done with the paper on the 12th of December (or We'd better be--ack!) so We'll post it and the suvery results here and on Tumblr then. We might also try to get it published in some online magazines We know.
So We gave a presentation about the paper on Monday that went over extremely well--people actually listened to Us about how DID alters should be treated as people!! Neither of Us had expected that may people would accept Our argument, but even the psych majors were at least open to the idea! plus We introduced a few people to LB Lee's stuff (We're gonna cite one of their comics as a source!!) so it was a very successful day.
but now We're in the process of writing a review of the literature for it and it involves the debate between the sociocognitive model (those who think DID is iatrogenic) and those who defend DID as an actual thing that exists. unfortunately that means that one of Our most reliable sources for countering the sociocognitive model is Colin fucking Ross who is just trash. I can't believe We have to use his work like he's a reputable source for anything, but there it is.
ughghghgh academia.
