Humbly confess Sir, that I wasn't paying attention. If a hard copy is sent to
the address below I'll scan it using an Optical Character Recognition gizzmo
and put it on the www.

Ta. I like compliments.

Nope, I prefer to stay disorganised. That way I can indulge in my fetishism
for very very fast cars with a clear revolutionary conscience.

Herr Reich huh? Don't forget that he was Fritz Perls' analyst for a while. As
for Laing, can't remember whether her indoors dealt with him in her thesis.
Some nice bits from Paolo Friere though. 
Of course if you really want to stir things up then Frantz Fanon is the man.
What a character, born in the French colony of Martinique into a posh family,
finds himself "just another dirty nigger" (his words) in Paris and gets a job
as a psychiatrist in colonial Algiers. Here he treats both torturers and
tortured and ends up joining the revolutionary Algerians. Now he's a hero to
be reckoned with!
