‘ Een psychotherapeut is goed te vergelijken met een cultureel antropoloog / ontdekkingsreiziger, die rondwaart in de psyche van haar of zijn cliënten en die daarbij niet voortdurend hinderlijk in de nek moet worden gehijgd door politieke technocratische bemoeials die niets nuttigs te doen hebben. Je moet als therapeut in alle rust kunnen onderzoeken hoe of je de ander (weer) op haar of zijn verhaal kunt brengen. Daar gaat het in feite om: weer op verhaal komen. En als het niet klikt, dan moet de cliënt een andere reisgenoot kunnen zoeken. Dat kan meerdere keren gebeuren, zij het niet onbeperkt.’
- ‘ Zo zou het idealiter moeten kunnen gaan. In plaats van miljarden over de schutting bij corrupte criminelen te smijten, om gruwelijke oorlogen in stand te houden. Houden we het bij een talking cure, of ondersteunen we het proces met psychopharmaca …? Wat denkt en voelt u als cliënt zelf? Weet je, al die bleke bureaucraten, die bescheten bizzibodies, die zouden als eersten grondig psychologisch onderzocht moeten worden, want dat zijn de ergste ziekmakers, de potsierlijke pathogenen.’

%% citaat (vet toegevoegd) %%: Self-help is an important concept to anthropologists, ethnographers and legal scholars. It implies the non-existence of, or deviance from, established and accepted processual norms for disputes, a fundamental failure of the entire legal system and a chaotic breakdown of values and institutions. The images of a system of chaos or the law of claw and fang are so powerful and horrific that several modern legal systems put a premium on discouraging even the slightest hints of systematic failure-driven individual actions. “Law and Order” is their code phrase for responding to such hints of systematic failure.
In common parlance, individuals within Western legal systems are enjoined not to take the law into their own hands. Vigilante justice is not only discouraged but also scorned as an unacceptable substitute for “Law and Order.”
Furthermore, the exercise of self-restraint, even in situations where a quick counteractive response is natural, is encouraged as a virtue. However, all of this is based on the reliance on some normative concepts of accepted behavior and established methods of dispute resolution some normative concepts of accepted behavior and established methods of dispute resolution. Crucial to this inquiry, therefore, is the conceptual or normative referents used in the empirical investigation of self-help. If African disputing processes are analyzed from the perspective of Western legal concepts, it is not surprising that they are characterized as self-help.

Geredigeerd citaat uit Dipak K. Gupta (2001, Preface xi ) (vet toegevoegd): Path to collective madness : a study in social order and political pathology. % citaat %: In Part II, I offer an alternative theory for analyzing collective action and then, based on this expanded behavioral assumption, examine the path through which a society descends into the depths of collective madness.
Chapter 4 introduces my hypothesis of individual rationale for participation in a collective action. I posit that, at the core, an individual’s perception of personal well-being is hopelessly intertwined with that of one’s group. An individual’s decision to choose between short-term self-utility and the utility of the group is predicated upon the opportunity, cost of time, and the strength of the individual’s collective identity. I argue that a person’s collective identity is not something inherent, but is shaped and strengthened by the effectiveness of a political entrepreneur.
Political entrepreneurs, like their counterparts in the business world, frame the past and present of a group’s history into an overarching mythology consisting of “good” and “bad,” “heroes” and “villains.”
If this framing of identity resonates with an individual, a potential activist is born. However, in the final analysis, an individual’s choice is determined by three basic motivations: greed (selfish interest), fear (cost), and ideology (group preference). I therefore argue that people join collective movements from a variety of motivations. ………… ……… %% einde citaat %%
