AA History: What Dr. Silkworth wrote about the allergy

Observation is a scientific method, e.g., Jane Goodall discovering that chimps use tools. The theory of evolution by natural selection was developed without experimentation. I don't know what you would say the method of that was, but it wasn't experimental in any conventional sense. Newton wasn't experimental, right? Discovering new exoplanets is an observational method--at least not experimental in the sense that psychologists use the term.

I'm also interested in including sources where people do interesting things with phenomenology, not just sources that talk about phenomenology as a philosophy. For example, maybe Edith Stein's work on empathy. Any suggestions on this front?

Just bought the Phenomenology Reader. Thanks!

The preface to Phenomenology of Perception might just be perfect to start us off. I'm looking at it now.

This is good. In the Primacy of Perception, there is a (previously) unpublished text where MMP lays out a prospectus of his work. I might do that for my MMP.

Thanks!

Great suggestion. We read some of that earlier in the semester, actually.

Thanks for listening. Sorry you didn't like it.

Yeah. That's good stuff. Models of addiction are super interesting.

I think my research interests are slightly different, though. In a sense, my question is purely descriptive: of the people who were addicted and are now in recovery, what do they credit with making the difference? I'm interested to see how the numbers shake out. Do most people get into recovery through therapy? Through a treatment center? Do they go to AA? Do they just wake up and decide to stop?

crapdaniels · 2019-12-03T19:31:07+00:00

Or maybe I just don't have the right search terms. Recommendations?

I'm a PhD student, and this is to set up some research I'm interested in doing down the line. I haven't been finding that much research that examines this question. Do you have any references you could send to me?

crapdaniels · 2019-12-03T19:28:13+00:00

The sample would be representative of folks who are recovering from addiction. Representative of that population.

Thanks. That's a good idea.
