ALICE MILLER Biography

the most significant thinker in psychiatry today



Interviewed by Diane Connors



"I describe pictures of people, use histories of them as mirrors. And then many come and say, `This is exactly

what I felt all my life but couldn't say.' I don't want to be a guru. I don't want people to believe me. I only encourage them to take their own experience seriously."

China survivors cremate their dead



— Survivors of Wednesday's deadly earthquake in western China's Qinghai provice have begun mass cremations of the dead.



Buddhist tradition says that the dead should be left outside for vultures to eat in a so-called "sky burial", but with so many bodies to dispose of the monks have sanctioned the cremations.



Hopes of finding more survivors are fading and the rescue efforts are turning into a clean-up operation.

Palestinian Am I

Palestinian Am I



by E. Yaghi



No one can take away from me

My identity,

For it is mine.



Palestinian am I.

I am the river that flows

That shines down on my fertile valleys

And parches my barren desert.



I am the red poppy and yellow daffodil

That grow upon my bloodstained hills.

I am… Continue
