Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)

Thirty Day Challenge.  For the month of September I will write one Post each and every day. No minimum word count (per Post), no theme(s) or over-arching connective topic, just a-Post-a-day. No, wait, that last was a bit of a lie. There is (an over-arching) theme. The Wakefield Doctrine.

So.  This is all because I feel like I’ve run out of interesting, amusing and useful insights into the Wakefield Doctrine. And my remedy is…?  Write a Post every single day for a month.(!?!) If you can read that last sentence without thinking, ‘sure  …what?!  wait a minute!!’  I suggest you consider the possibility that you might be a clark.

I’ve been ‘here’ before, (as have most of us who would write a blog), the difference this time is the quality of the public-exposure of the exercise.

true story: my first Post
I wrote it. I check it several times. I got another cup of coffee and checked my (work) voicemail for messages and (work) email for messages. I sat in front of the computer and dared myself to try and find a reason to delay. I laughed (to myself and Bella sitting on the bed in the room that serves as my ‘office’). I hit ‘Publish’. I then closed out the WP application. I clicked  ‘Shut Down’. I watched the screen go dark. I got up and got in my car and drove around for at least 30 minutes.

Ok! This is my 4th trip back to this Post and finally I’m feeling like this might be fun. (not overly understandable…fairly wildly careening rhetoric but hell! in my world, if I am comfortable using the word ‘rhetoric’… then that, somehow is total license to publish the most arrant nonsense in this here Post here.

btw? the expression in today’s subtitle, ‘binyon’? it’s actually a word used in a recording that was included with my text-book on Abnormal Psychology, back in my grad school days (1973 or so). There’s a bit of a story there, but given that this is only Post#2  you know I’m gonna save it for later.

Reader (imaginary) Profile:

Kristi (aka K2): a blogger from southern CA and a roger. What is most impressive about Kristi is how her secondary clarklike aspect manifests. (Granted this is the internet and everything and everyone is, to a certain, non-definable extent, imaginary), Kristi communicates her rogerian self with a balance and un-affectedness that is totally refreshing. And…and! she has contributed an artifact (0f the rogerian) worldview, specifically, ‘the security of expectations‘. (An artifact of a worldview is a word or a concept or an understanding that when stated, people from all three worldviews have a sense of understanding… it is a view (for those of us outside of the worldview the artifact is from) that is not likely to be found, even with the Wakefield Doctrine as a guide.

Thank you to zoe and her friend, Lori  modeling a fine bit of Doctrine approved apparel.
