Yeh that's the thing with philosophy: you got to keep it as grounded as possible or all it all gets out of hand. Like a Rottweiler with a
grudge.

What is this Frosh/ Baraitser paper? I have read Frosh here and there but can't recall Baraitser. Can you put up the title if possibile, so I can hunt it down????

Cheers!

Hi All

Thanks for the advice; reassuring to hear that I seem to be doing some of those of things already.

The area of psychosocial i'm in is to do with developign the unconscious-disocurse divide; I'm using the contested illness nit
to ground the thinking.

Must admit that I feel compelled to look for the big cave of a gap rather than the little bits and pieces and new slants on old methods.

Hi

I started a part-time PhD last October in the area of contested illnesses and developing new psychosocial methodologies. Up to now I have been reading across the area and following up where this reading leads. My I have written to articles for my supervisor so far and now she wants me to write a 5000 word piece sumarising the gaps and absences in the literature. Trouble is: I CAN'T FIND ANY! Or at least they aren't apparent to me. What does a gap or an absence look like? What I have done is synthesied my key obervations and then from this suggested what next directions in research might be, but these are broad and undefined as this is what my work is ultimately going to be about! So circles I will be going around in.
Any advice??
