Sigmund Freud had a lot of trouble with self-defeating patients, especially 'The Wolfman.' He was influenced to study masochism because of recurring beating fantasies indulged by his patients.

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/meditation-chronic-pain/
I have another digital web review on Meditation but exclusively on dealing with Chronic Pain. As turbulent as it is to meditate with a stressful mind, it is much more difficult when there is physical pain. Both the mental and physical pain play off of each other and build. There is agreement with this in the book “The Mindfulness Solution to pain.” It states that “emotional stability contributes to a more manageable pain perception.” We cannot eliminate physical chronic pain but our emotional state can make it worse. Meditation can work to reduce the overall experience of pain, because “we function so much better when the body-mind dynamic feels better, and we are able to do more things.” As always don’t use these meditation instructions in place of professional medical care. Meditation is best when it is not the sole method used for your pain management.

As Buddhism's influence expanded in Asia, it encountered many different cultures that appropriated elements of it. There was always a pressure to make these philosophies fit normal human relationships and worldliness. One of the examples of this is Taoism, which when Buddhism encountered it in China, ushered in a mutual influence.

As the 19th century came to an end, a new kind of philosopher was dawning for the 20th century. He would come up with strange and ground breaking theories of the human unconscious. Bridging the 19th century’s experience with Darwin and hard science, with softer sciences of hypnotism and free association.

World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness day is June 1st , and I would like to do a small review on some of the precursors to Narcissistic Personality Disorder. As much as we hate the damage caused by these abusers, narcissists are still people and they came from families that weren’t dissimilar to ours. Some of the causes are related to inheritance but there are many other early family experiences that contribute to this disorder.
