I just noticed that a month and a half has passed since my last post. Which doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on my article. On the very contrary. (‘unfortunately’, I am tempted to write, but it was not sooo unfortunate) J 

This past month has convinced me that the writing of the article itself is the most challenging and difficult task. Faced with tons of documents and interviews, I discovered that my topic has so many different aspects that can be analysed in a series of different ways and there is no right or wrong.  

And that’s how troubles started.  

At the beginning of the Fellowship, they warned us of the possibility of developing a PhD syndrome.  

Well, they were right.
Too bad we didn’t talk about a psychological approach of dealing with the syndrome.  

And so, in the past month I played the role of a patient, while my Editor was trying to resolve the”issues” surrounding my article. As I “laid on the couch” with my article, I started reflecting on its development (childhood) as all patients do. 

Yes, it was troubled from the beginning (look back at my first blog entry).Yes, it grew up in an environment where its parents were still learning about creation of good children (articles).Yes, it didn’t always get the necessary attention, as it creator was working on other audio-video creatures. 

But, it was loved! I enjoyed raising it up into a healthy and good – looking article…  

But my Psychiatrist was not satisfied with its (and mine) development.  

I will have to stay on the couch a bit longer. 

Fortunately, I am a follower of the Freudian approach in which the parents are to blame for everything that is wrong with the child and its development. Otherwise, I would have had to blame society, circumstances, the Government or the weather. 

‘Till the next session, then.
