Replies to Castor Girl’s blog- The confusion and complexity of Mother’s Day May 12, 2012It’s Mother’s Day. That means that in about three hours, I’ll be expected to call up my mother and voice wishes for her to have a lovely day. I’ll listen to her complaints about her life, and my siblings; then end with sending her my love. It’s a familiar pattern. A predictable one. Yet, it [...]castorgirl

- Anxiety vrs reality April 19, 2012One of the ways that anxiety manifests for me, is the fear created when I imagine the worst case scenario that could happen when facing a situation.

Hi Sam’s Alter:
I am a researcher studying the effects of the double-bind on worker productivity. While your poem and flowchart aren’t explicitly related to the double-bind, you indicate a relationship that I would like to work on.
Rather than take your knowledge and rephrase it without citation, I would like your permission to use the flow chart or a modification thereof (with full citation) as part of my research. The version I am looking at is: http://mybelovedalter.wordpress.com/2009/02/24/a-poem-illustrating-the-flow-chart/. Please let me know if I will be authorized to use your flow chart.
I don’t have any money with which to pay you royalties and this will be used only for inclusion in my dissertation. It will be disseminated within normal dissemination parameters for a dissertation (i.e. instructors, publishing, other cited individuals or groups). I would be willing to share the results of my research with you once it is completed.
Sincerely,
Jacob

Hi, Jacob!
You are authorized to use my flowchart in your dissertation. In fact, it is flattering to find (as such material is called by Wikipedians) the “original research” quotable in an academic text.
Sincerely,
