42. SENG: Articles & Resources - Existential Depression In Gifted Individuals What is it? Why does it disproportionately affect our gifted youth? http://www.sengifted.org/articles_counseling/Webb_ExistentialDepressionInGiftedI

Getting Involved SENG Conference Continuing Education Parents ... Grants Counseling, Multiple Exceptionality, and Psychological Issues Title: Existential depression in gifted individuals Citation: Reproduced by permission of the Great Potential Press. Author: James T. Webb Online since: August 2002 Download a printer-friendly version (PDF) It has been my experience that gifted and talented persons are more likely to experience a type of depression referred to as existential depression. Although an episode of existential depression may be precipitated in anyone by a major loss or the threat of a loss which highlights the transient nature of life, persons of higher intellectual ability are more prone to experience existential depression spontaneously. Sometimes this existential depression is tied into the positive disintegration experience referred to by Dabrowski (1996). Existential depression is a depression that arises when an individual confronts certain basic issues of existence. Yalom (1980) describes four such issues (or "ultimate concerns")death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness. Death is an inevitable occurrence. Freedom, in an existential sense, refers to the absence of external structure. That is, humans do not enter a world which is inherently structured. We must give the world a structure which we ourselves create. Isolation recognizes that no matter how close we become to another person, a gap always remains, and we are nonetheless alone. Meaninglessness stems from the first three. If we must die, if we construct our own world, and if each of us is ultimately alone, then what meaning does life have?

skip to main skip to sidebar Desperately UnEnterprise Saturday, 1 March 2008 Existential types in Scala With 2.7 of Scala on the way, people are being exposed to Java wildcards more and more, which translate to Scala existential types. Unfortunately no one seems to understand these (including me at first!) and had previously let them go largely ignored, and now everyone is getting confused. Here's a brief introduction. :6: error: type mismatch; found : Array[String] required: Array[Any] foo(Array[String]("foo", "bar", "baz")) This doesn't compile, because an Array[String] is not an Array[Any]. You can put 1 into an Array[Any], but not into an Array[String]. Nonetheless, it's completely typesafe - we've only used methods in foo which would work for any Array[T]. How do we fix this? Here's one way: We've parameterised the method by T in order to make it accept any T. But now we have a superfluous type parameter on our method. This may not seem like a big deal, and it's usually not, but it can add up if you're not careful (and can be particularly annoying when for some reason the type checker is no longer able to infer a single one of your type parameters and you have to supply all of them). It's also not really what we mean - we mean "I want an Array, and I don't care what type of things it contains" This is exactly what existential types are for.

Existential philosophy grew out of the nineteenth century writings of Soren Kierkegaard and Frederick Nietzsche, and was later elaborated in the " phenomenological " philosophies of Husserl and Heidegger. In the 1940's, the theories of existentialism were given a name, and an enormous boost in popularity, by Jean- Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and other European intellectuals who had suffered through World War II and come out on the other side with a philosophy that focused on self-reliance, authenticity, responsibility, and mortality. How did this philosophy get translated into psychology? One way was through the philosophers: Sartre himself wrote extensively on the "psychology" of everyday behavior, imagination, and other topics. Another way was through psychologists who were intrigued by the philosophical claims of existentialism and the opportunities it offered to escape the dominating theories of psychoanalysis The following description of existential psychology is founded mostly from the writings of Rollo May, one of the more philosophically-minded of the

Existential Psychology Existential Psychology represents a synthesis of philosophy and psychology. The philosophical bases were formed by Kierkegaard and Heidegger. The most popular one-sentence summary is "existence precedes essence". The followers who have translated their thinking into statements about personality include the Europeans Ludwig Binswanger, Medard Boss, and Victor Frankl. Major American theorists include Rollo May and Paul Tillich, but I will also include some writings of Salvatore Maddi. The following notes represent an attempt at a synthesis of the writings of many theorists. I will not attempt to associate each concept with it's originator. You can get this detailed information in a graduate class. The writings of Rollo May are considered as a primary source. Core of Personality I. Core Tendency: To achieve authentic being. Being signifies the special quality of human mentality (aptly called intentionality), that makes life a series of decisions, each involving an alternative that precipitates persons into an unknown future and an alternative that pushes them back into a routine, predictable past. Choosing the future brings ontological anxiety (fear of the unknown), whereas choosing the safe status quo brings ontological guilt (sense of missed opportunity). Authenticity involves accepting this painful state of affairs and finding the courage or hardiness to persist in the face of ontological anxiety and choose the future, thereby minimizing ontological guilt.

This is taken from Concluding Unscientific Postscript, and it is part of a passage in the book that I consider the best of Kierkegaard. Indeed, perhaps the best of prose: If one who lives in the midst of Christendom goes up to the house of God, the house of the true God, with the true conception of God in his knowledge, and prays, but prays in a false spirit; and one who lives in an idolatrous community prays with the entire passion of the infinite, although his eyes rest upon the image of an idol: where is the most truth? The one prays in truth to God though he worships an idol; the other prays falsely to the true God, and hence in fact worships an idol." What can you say about a writer that continues to amaze? This is related to one of his fundamental ideas that religious truth is subjectivity, and quite probably an idea i'll do my best to explore in the near future.

Recent Bestsellers The Existential Jesus John Carroll 'Awesome, awe-inspiring ... The Existential Jesus is a work of genius. Like works of genius, it will haunt without being accepted, its impossibility of being absorbed being its power.' Zygmunt Bauman The Existential Jesus has the merit of being a beautiful piece of writing as well as a remarkable piece of thinking. The words dance with each other as well as with the reader, resulting in an experience not unlike listening to a beautiful piece of orchestral music. The different movements are designed to enchant, challenge, shake, delight, confound, and uplift (sometimes one feels all of these things at once, such is the striking depth of language and craftsmanship in expression) until we are ultimately led into silence, which is, of course, the right response to the enigma of Being and of finding oneself before the mystery of I AM.' Dr Felicity McCutcheon ( Melbourne Anglican '[Carroll] does not bring the biases and learned habits of churchly biblical interpretation. This leaves him free to encounter freshly the power of Mark's story of Jesus ...

Among the winners have been Christina Stead, Randolph Stow, Thea Astley, and Gerald Murnane. A fierce disdain of the commonplace. European or Australian? It is important to recognize White's conflicting loyalties to Europe and Australia. In many respects the European background and influences are obvious in his writing. After spending his first school years at private schools in New South Wales, he was sent at the age of thirteen, very much against his will, to Cheltenham College in England. There he spent a "four-year prison sentence," according to his autobiography, Flaws in the Glass (1981). All the same, after a couple of years as a jackeroo on his uncle's sheep station in Australia, he chose to return to England and Cambridge in order to study modern languages. He also spent some vacations in Germany and developed a lasting interest in German and French literature.

The Montreal post-rock innovators have called it a day, but not for the reasons of 'musical differences' cited by many retiring bands. Instead, founder Efrin Menuck declared that the band had become untenable due to "an existential freakout" relating to the Iraq war. Menuck told Drownedinsound : "The last American tour that Godspeed did was in the run up to the current war in Iraq. For what Godspeed did, it was very difficult for us to work out a way to communicate directly with the audience about what was going on." He continued: "We could talk to people after the shows, or we could make announcements from the stage, but so much what Godspeed was, was one-way communication, and I had an existential freakout about that, that those tactics aren't valid anymore.

April 2006 Thursday, April 13, 2006 A Vantage Point in Time I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I would check in. In my previous posts I had talked about being more positive and that it was “working for me”. As with any claim, there should be empirical evidence to show that it is correct. Well, I think there are at least two empirical claims I can make for this lifestyle change. The first is that my blood pressure has dropped from 150/90 to 130/75. I haven’t changed what I eat and, until bike season hit Maine, I hadn’t been exercising. The second is that I don’t consume alcohol as much. I’ve gone from a daily drinker to an occasional drinker. I did this because I just didn’t like how I felt, not that I had a drinking problem. Now I feel better than ever, I eat and drink because I enjoy it and it brings pleasure, and not just to feel different. Even though I have given up my personal history, I have been fascinated with my ancestral history. My personal history is just my beliefs about why I am the way I am. It at best serves as a reminder of what it took for me to get where I am today but more often forces me to serve it and maintain it. It doesn’t want me to change (i.e. “how can I be happy when so many people I love have died. It would be shameful to

Today's Globe Local Opinion Magazine ... Ideas THE WORD Existentially speaking February 4, 2007 "THIS IS AN existential conflict," Dick Cheney told Fox News on Jan. 14, describing the war on terror as a fight the West must win. The following week, in an interview with Newsweek, the vice president used the phrase again: "It's an existential conflict." And his daughter Liz spread the word in a Washington Post op-ed: "America faces an existential threat." Existential isn't just a Cheney buzzword, though. Bill Frist, then Senate majority leader, called bioterrorism "the greatest existential threat we have in the world" in a 2005 commencement address. Tony Blair assured Britons in 2004 that "the global threat...is real and existential." Condoleezza Rice warned of the "existential threat" in 2002. And what is this existential of which they speak? "They're using the word in a straightforward way to mean 'our existence is at stake,"' e-mailed Christopher Shea, my fellow Ideas writer, last week. "But is that what you think of when you hear existential?" No, it's not. Like him, I think of Sartre in a Left Bank cafe or Woody Allen on a psychiatrist's couch, pondering (or suffering) the struggle to create an authentic self in an indifferent and purposeless universe. But that can't be what the Bush people mean by existential, even if the president did read Camus on his summer vacation. No, they're harking back to the existential coined centuries ago an adjective meaning merely "pertaining to existence" and putting it to use in what looks like shorthand for "a threat to our very existence."

Lecture 12 The Existentialist Frame of Mind As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as if it were armour-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his dome-like brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes. Franz Kafka, The Metamorphosis In the two decades which fell between the two world wars, European intellectuals lived in a state of profound shock. It was a nightmare world a world projected in the fantasies of a Czech writer like FRANZ KAFKA (1883-1924). Life held little intrinsic meaning to the characters which populated Kafka's novels and short stories. Man was isolated and constantly subjected to unknown and terrifying forces forces without direction, forces without control. In the short story, The Metamorphosis , Gregor Samsa awakes to find that he is a bug. In
