Prompt: Ornate
"I'm going to do an impersonal, interesting, well-researched piece on the Rhizome, the Arachnean, and how post-structuralist antipsychiatry wound up having more to do with art criticism and theory than 'actual' psychiatry" Proceeds to do a whiny, personal, self-pitying "personal essay"

Per "schizofrenia" intende il quadro clinico in cui si assiste alla dissociazione della personalità psichica; questo processo si traduce in gravi disturbi della strutturazione del pensiero, della dinamica affettiva e dell’apprezzamento dei rapporti tra ‘Io’ e ambiente circostante.

New on Youtube: Poltergeist – the Finale!
The third and final video in our series on poltergeist phenomena and hauntings in the history of science (and this time also medicine) has just gone live. This episode is on the longer side, as we will dwell quite a bit on twentieth-century continental Europe.
