I was gearing up to write a bit of a rant entry on sleep disorders. Then,
after a brief conversation with Andrew, I became completely distracted by
issues of pathologisation.
In a fairly coincidental juxtaposition, while at work I ended up reading
this
essay, called “Is Bad Writing Necessary”. I find myself completely
agreeing with both of the opposing sides presented in this essay, which
seems puzzling. It also leads me back to pathologisation, in two respects.
The first is that pathologisation is about word usage, and how that
affects point of view. The second is that I find myself very much on both
sides of the fence when it comes to providing labels for behaviours. Once
again, puzzling. Perhaps more on this topic later.
