Quotes by Tim Cantopher (?)

“[Sigmund Freud] was writing a century ago when the standard treatments for severe depression included being chained to a wall and being doused by high-pressure hoses, or being strapped in a revolving chair and spun rapidly for a protracted period. 'Do you feel better now?' 'Yes, yes, just don't do it again please!' Another therapeutic success.”

“It is difficult to induce learned helplessness in an adult who has been consistently brought up. It is possible; it has happened to a few victims who I have seen, of major disasters. They teach apprentice torturers to do it in South American dictatorships. The principle is sometimes to reward your victim and sometimes to visit unspeakable torment upon him, but above all, to make him recognize, over a protracted period, that you are in control and that he is powerless to affect his environment.

But it is easy to do it to a child. All you have to do is fail to be consistent, so that she doesn't learn that she can make things happen.”

“I think there are three main programs that every child needs. They are: ‘Education’, ‘I’m OK’ and ‘The world is OK’. Education is obvious; you need to learn some stuff to get by in the world. But even more important, you need to learn that whatever happens, whatever you do or don’t achieve, whatever anybody says about you, you are OK, because you are you. Whatever happens, good or bad, it’ll be OK in the end, because the world is an OK place. If you learn these lessons, you have a happy life, unless you are really unlucky and suffer wave after wave of misfortune later in life. You absorb most reverses with phlegmatic acceptance, because of your happy and realistic underlying assumptions. But if you don’t, you tend to run your life as a set of threats to guard against, hostile circumstances to overcome and people to please.”
