Biography and psychology « Bethlem Blog. In September 1896, the editor of Bethlem magazine Under the Dome had “a very serious loss” to report: the death of the un-official “Sub-Editor”, Henry Francis Harding, at the age of seventy. Harding had contributed regularly to the magazine since its foundation, compiling a regular column, Notes Apropos, (which related articles in the outside press to events in Bethlem and vice versa), writing a variety of articles on historical and other topics (signed X. or H.F.H.) and compiling the index to each annual bound volume.1 In addition, Harding received credit in publications going beyond the Hospital.
When Theo Hyslop’s Mental Physiology was published in 1895, he thanked “his friend, Mr. H.F. HARDING, for revisal of the proof-sheet”.2 It would not be obvious from either of these sources that Henry Harding was,throughout this time, a patient at Bethlem, although Harding himself made no secret of this fact.

The remainder of Jackie Hopson’s account, One Good Year: Being an in-patient in the Charles Hood Unit, Bethlem Royal Hospital, 1974 -1975 follows (to read part one, click here): Something new for me, after the long, inactive days in county asylums, was occupational therapy, of which there were four sessions each week, one of them being entitled, “Social Skills”. I particularly remember the well-equipped pottery workshop (I still have a dish I made at Bethlem by my bedside, 35 years later).
There were two gruelling but productive afternoon sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays: these were Psychodrama (role-play, improvisation, reading dramatic texts and dance), led by the inspirational Miriam Plummer, and Art Therapy. On Fridays, there was a large meeting of all patients and staff (medical, OT and social work) together in the big room. Because we lived in a hostel, slightly apart from the main hospital, I didn’t feel like an in-patient. Sometimes we behaved like unruly children. Brave New Slipstream « Torque Control. Anna Kavan. Alain Robbe-Grillet. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Alain Robbe-Grillet Œuvres principales Alain Robbe-Grillet, né le à Brest et mort le à Caen est un romancier et cinéaste français. Considéré avec Nathalie Sarraute comme le chef de file du nouveau roman, il a été élu à l'Académie française le 25 mars 2004 sans être reçu.
Son épouse est la romancière Catherine Robbe-Grillet, dont le nom de plume est Jeanne de Berg. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] Il se consacre ensuite à la littérature. Peu à peu, ses romans se sont tournés vers l'érotisme, et vers l'« autobiographie fantasmatique[2] », romans qui ont parfois été plus appréciés à l'étranger (notamment aux États-Unis) qu'en France, au moins du point de vue des universitaires. De 1972 à 1997, Alain Robbe-Grillet enseigne aux États-Unis, à l'université de New York (NYU) et à l’Université Washington à Saint-Louis, et dirige le Centre de sociologie de la littérature à l’université de Bruxelles entre 1980 et 1988. Instantanés (1962) Women Surrealists « whollybooks. Female Artists in the Surrealist Movement: Women in Touch with their Inner Witch Depictions of the Witch and the Witches’ Sabbath often took gruesome forms.
They were usually drawn by men and included male fantasies of what these unknown beings were up to when nobody was looking. Move forward a couple of centuries, and a number of women artists loosely falling under the category Surrealist, got in touch with the uncanny world of the Dream and the Dark side of the Female psyche. They were armed with a new knowledge of the esoteric and the occult and they knew greater freedom and had more opportunities.

Ayn Rand Comprehensive Book Review. S are assigned by a commiAyn Rand Comprehensive Book Review Below you will find a review of all of Ayn Rand's fiction writing, as well as some reviews of related movies, documentaries and biographies. While I won't say that "Ayn Rand changed my life" (an often-heard cliché) I will say that her books do ring true for me, and greatly helped me clarify my thinking on certain issues. In 1999 I finally made the time to read read Atlas Shrugged (I had been procrastinating, assuming that it would be a try read) and was deeply affected by it, as well as captivated.
You may disagree strongly with what she says (her books are simultaneously critique, polemic and propaganda) but you'll learn a great deal aboutyourself from the experience. The Fountainhead is Rand's story of an uncompromising architect facing a world of corruption. Easier to read, shorter and a better introduction to Rand than Atlas Shrugged. However, Atlas Shrugged remains for me her ultimate book. (NOI VIVI - no picture, sorry!) Mirth – Birth – Reverie: Remembering Nico (October 16, 1938 – July 18, 1988) « Pagan Reveries. I can’t let this day pass without remembering a beloved heroine – the great singer/songwriter, poet, composer, musician, fashion model, actress, Warhol Superstar, and self-described “international pagan,” born on this day as Christa Päffgen, but known to the world as Nico.
Nico is probably most famous for her association with The Velvet Underground, but her solo albums are absolute gems, extremely influential and decades ahead of their time, filled with haunting melodies and exquisitely beautiful lyrics . . . bursts of poetry charged with mythical and mystical symbolism. The following two songs are both from my favorite Nico album, her 1968/1969 masterpiece – The Marble Index.
