Communication in relationships is like talking to a mirror. Say a kind word in a mirror, and it will say the same back to you. Curse in the mirror, and the image curse back. It’s my actions that come back to me, I can seed carrots but not harvest pears. Smile at the world today, and the world will smile back at you. Thank you Anna-lena for those wise words.
Communication is the key to everything. I cant for my life dont get rid of this horrible situation regarding how they treat this young girls that hurts themselves in Sweden. So-called self-destructive behavior. Read this that I did a research from BBC and the book slutstation rättspsyk.
In 2008 the BBC decided to repeat part of the controversial research that a professor in psychology named Donald Hebb had done during the 50-60 century. Research traded about isolation and sensory deprivation – how people are affected when they deprived their freedom and the stimuli that the brain needs.
6 volunteer persons would under 48 hours staying alone in a single cell, monitored by a psychologist that kept them under surveillance by video cameras that were installed in the cells. 3 patients would spend the two days in a cell that was total darkness. Only one tiny bed, a small table, they were locked with ”pillows” around their hands, a pair of glasses through which they were only possible to see blur and a pair of headphones out of which only heard a low voice monotone noise. The volunteers could at any time stop the experiment. The switch was inside their cell, the door was unlocked and everyone was in agreement with the experiment that under all circumstances it would be stopped after 48 hours.
It went fast for the subjects to completely lose sense of time. After a couple of hours in the dark cell one of the prepared woman had difficulties to rely on her remaining senses. When she felt with her hands on the sheets of the bed, she experienced those wet. When the TV team then checked it was found that the sheets was of course not wet, but just cold. The woman, a studying psychologist who participated in the project to challenge herself, was one of several volunteers who developed direct delusions before two days were over.
There are of course differences between the attempts made in the BBC program Horizon and that patients experienced in isolation cells in Sundsvall/Sweden. But there are also a lot of similarities. The volunteers the program was robbed of more senses than most of the patients in Sundsvall did – however, several patients in that clinic in Sundsvall remained in that isolation cells wearing both hockey helmet with face shield grille and leather bags that are locked firmly on their hands. Bring to your mind about mental-deprivations, which is an established method of torture.
Those who took part in the BBC program was mentally stable persons who participated voluntarily. The patients who are forced into isolation cells in Sundsvall/ Sweden suffering from severe anxiety even before the insulation starts. They do not know how long they will have to be in the cell, the emploee who is looking at them through a window, or gives them food practice ”active disinterest” and the patients have no way to stop it going on.
CPT (Europarådetetsantitortyrkomitté emphasize that isolation should never be used as punishment.
I couldnt just drop this after had read the book ” slutstation rättspsyk”. Its a about young women that cut or hurt themselves in Sweden. The big problem is that they put these young girls in the same institute where we have men/women that have killed or raped people (??) ! Its something so horrible so I dont have any words of it. And when they cant behave, stop cutting themselves or jump into the floor with thier head firs, they put these women to the isolation cell, covered sometimes with leather glovs . One girl had those leather gloves locked on her hands in 3 month. Can you believe it???
I couldnt in my wildest fantasy think that this whas happened in fantastic Sweden, but its truly exist. Start to communicate with your kids – they need you as a parent. They need older people to look up to. See the young one – it is our future.
