Pioneer psychology
I was reminded of something myself thought about sometimes. Not very profound. If you want something like that, you can read these columns by the psychoanalyst Per-Magnus Johansson in GP. Seems to be a theme he is drawn to.
"Nothing interests me less than Andy Warhol's sexuality" (GP, 2023-09-16)
"It is pointless to psychiatrise Serge Gainsbourg" (GP, 2023-07-14)
That people who go against the flow, track in the snow themselves, are often a little crazy. Also. Besides their stubbornness and talent. There is often a portion of self-assertion, rowdiness, and lust for revenge baked in. Which not infrequently has to do with early experiences of just being left out and odd. Can one think.
This Per-Magnus Johansson who, by the way, is lecturing at the ABF house in Stockholm tomorrow 20/9. Then about August Strindberg, Sigmund Freud and loneliness. Speaking of…
Johansson starts the season with this as well "With psychoanalysis from the cradle to the grave".
