With great ingenuity and penetration the author throws much light on the complex problems of human behavior, and clearly demonstrates that the hitherto considered impassable gap between normal and abnormal mental states is more apparent than real. This led to a study of the faulty actions of everyday life and later to the publication of the Psychopathology of Everyday Life, a book which passed through four editions in Germany and is considered the author's most popular work. It was while tracing back the abnormal to the normal state that Professor Freud found how faint the line of demarcation was between the normal and neurotic person, and that the psychopathologic mechanisms so glaringly observed in the psychoneuroses and psychoses could usually be demonstrated in a lesser degree in normal persons. Psychoanalysis always showed that they referred to some definite problem or conflict of the person concerned. By discarding the old methods of treatment and strictly applying himself to a study of the patient's life he discovered that the hitherto puzzling symptoms had a definite meaning, and that there was nothing arbitrary in any morbid manifestation. Professor Freud developed his system of psychoanalysis while studying the so-called borderline cases of mental diseases, such as hysteria and compulsion neurosis.

In Smart Girls Marry Money, Elizabeth Ford, a news producer, and Daniela Drake, a physician, argue that despite the gains women have made in the last few decades, we still earn considerably less than men (especially if we are mothers). But that's what the authors of a provocative new book advocate. In June, the prime month for weddings, it may seem heretical to suggest that romantic love is not the only requirement for a successful marriage. "It just so happens," she once said, "that I get turned on by liver spots." She married oil tycoon Howard Marshall Smith when he was 89 and she was 26. Even the late Anna Nicole Smith, no rocket scientist, understood that being accused of marrying just for money was an insult. Admiring her intended's bottom line (the financial one, that is) automatically makes a woman a gold digger. It's supposed to be a love match between two people who somehow sense that they are meant to be together forever. That's certainly the prevailing view of marriage, American style, in 2009. You vowed to marry only when you found The One, and his bank account would not be a factor. "It's as easy to fall in love with a rich man as a poor one." Some elderly aunt probably offered that advice at some point and you probably dismissed it. McIlvane investigates what happened, leading him to various friends in the family, including Harry and Augustus’s widow, Sarah Pemberton. Martin tells only a few people of what he saw, including the narrator, the narrator’s fiancée, Emily Tisdale, a college friend Harry Wheelwright, and the family’s priest, Dr. Shortly after the funeral, Martin catches sight of Augustus in a horse-drawn carriage, surrounded by other older, sharply dressed men. Augustus had renounced and disinherited Martin after Martin spoke out against his exploitative methods of amassing his business fortune. In 1871, Martin is a freelance journalist, hardly mourning his recently dead father, Augustus. The novel is told from the perspective of McIlvaine, Martin’s editor, looking back from the early 1900s. The novel references failures in (or, lack of) medical ethics in the late nineteenth century, showing how the secret sanitariums in which the scientists conducted their research were allied with inequalities of wealth, class, and access to institutions. Setting out to track him down, Martin uncovers the sinister plot of mad pseudo-scientists and mystics to extend their lifespans.

How random is that? I didn’t like it but others might. I also felt like the author just added these off the wall words that didn’t fit in with the rest of the writing. I could predict everyone’s next move, and I’m terrible at predicting anything. It sounds like every other thriller/mystery. Honestly, I’m not sure what I expected with this book. If anyone can help me make sense of it that would be wonderful! Either way two stars is my rating just for the simple fact that it was boring. To me it felt like the author couldn’t think of a good ending and just threw one in there. Maybe I didn’t enjoy it because I just didn’t understand the ending, and I’ll admit that. I would hate to spoil everyone but nothing happens. It didn’t help that the entire book just kept me waiting for something to happen. WRONG! The ending left me in a weird mood and oddly confused. When I looked into reading this book I was excited because everyone said to wait for the ending because it was fantastic.

The five words above are the best summary I can give for The Institute. Which means I had to do what I do when I google something and don’t find the thing I’m looking for. The results varied, but suffice it to say that the only thing I found from these searches was pages encouraging me to buy The Institute, reviews of the Institute and, in the case of the last search term above, information about art institutes in Minnesota. What stephen king got wrong about minnesota in the instituteĭid stephen king research minnesota before writing the institute I’m writing this because after I finished reading The Institute, I went to Google-like I usually do after I finish reading a book-and looked up the thing about it that nagged at me the most. This is my reflection on the things I liked about the book and the things I didn’t like and, specifically, the things Stephen King got right and wrong about Minnesota in his 2019 novel The Institute. This is not a conventional book review of Stephen King’s The Institute. Or: why didn’t Stephen King do more research on Minnesota before writing a book partially set in Minnesota? |
