I was listening today, as usual on my hour and a half commute to work, to Garrison Keillor's wonderful "Writer's Almanac" (you can get it in iTunes as a podcast if you're not near the radio when it's broadcast). He read a very interesting poem today called "How It Will End". What makes it of interest to us is that it's about a conversation between a man and wife as they sit on the beach. They are talking about what they think another couple on the beach are talking about. During the conversation you begin to realize that the man and wife are actually revealing their own feelings and thoughts about each other.
Might make for an good class conversation/example about the Freudian defense mechanism of projection. Michael -- Michael Britt, Ph.D. Host of The Psych Files podcast www.thepsychfiles.com [email protected] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
