Therapy vs creativity
The sign that the intellect has produced something useful is when it becomes embodied in a person. Posture, basic responses and vocal tone are altered. Therapists should be, but aren't, good poets. (This is tied to poetry's origins as a spoken art form).

Psychiatry and Real Life
Psychiatry is optimistic about antidepressants. The debate has been won, it is said, as more evidence from better trials comes out in support of their use. I’m not so sure. I support their use very reservedly, and have some thoughts about translational problems from clinical trials into real-life prescribing. The gap is larger than us doctors seem to realise.
