Stephen,

I haven't seen the film, though several people have recommended it to me,
and it's been quite a while since I used to read a lot in that area, but
I see from my scribblings in the margins that I once devoted quite a bit
of study to a book by John P. Muller, "Beyond the Psychoanalytic Dyad --
Developmental Semiotics in Freud, Peirce, and Lacan", and the book jacket
blurb says he was at the time Chief Psychologist & Education Director at
Austen Riggs.

Here is a poem by Emily Dickinson that I inscribed on the inside back cover:

Real
----

I like a look of agony,
Because I know it's true;
Men do not sham convulsion,
Nor simulate a throe.

The eyes glaze once, and that is death.
Impossible to feign
The beads upon the forehead
By homely anguish strung.

Regards,

Jon

Just a note to recommend "A Dangerous Method". Just saw it today. It deals
with the split between Freud and Jung and even more with the boundaries of
the physical in relationships. It reprised for me a time in my life when I
was deep into that area working at Austen Riggs Center and the NY State
Psychiatric Institute and studied religion and psychiatry... The film begs
for a Peircean review!
