The terror of young men
by Eivind Skjellum
About a week prior to the Oslo terror on July 22, I was in a part of town I rarely visit. I was en-route to an exciting adventure at IKEA and was waiting for the bus that would complete my journey. As I was scanning the features of the recently erected mosque there, I noticed two young ethnic Norwegians walking towards me. They didn’t look particularly tough. Though they spoke “tough”. One of them was clearly afraid. I saw it in his eyes; they were wide and beamed with terror.
Psychoanalysis: The forgotten grandparent of The ManKind Project
by Joe Jeral, MD
Psychoanalysis is the father of psychotherapy as we know it today. Every form of therapy, even an overtly non-therapeutic personal growth experience like MKP, owes its existence to Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. In the nine years since my first MKP weekend in 2001, I’ve noticed that few people know about the forgotten psychoanalytic “grandparents” of MKP.
Actually, the emotional, psychological and spiritual work in MKP borrows significantly from Freud and his intellectual descendants. I’d like to introduce some of these grandparents and some of the ideas that we have borrowed.
