Not sure I see the changing style. The German quote at the top of TLP is from Ludwig Wittgenstein and if there is one consistent thing about TLP it is that he writes in a style that is very heavily influenced by Wittgenstein. Notice, for example, that he writes as if responding to the objections of an offstage interlocutor whose objections we can't here.

Maybe it started out as just the husband, but now they definitely both write posts. The most recent have alternated. Compare and contrast the old SSI posts with the most recent one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696956101824934089.post-5344845638385975722013-05-11T15:27:04.712-04:002013-05-11T15:27:04.712-04:00The goal isn't to make people well, its to kee...The goal isn't to make people well, its to keep them coming back.

The goal is not only the advancement of an agenda (by pathologizing certain things like the example you illustrate) , but also to maintain a perpetual flow of clients with real or imagined problems. And this is all done in the name of science. I can say this because I work in the field, and I see it first-hand.BobinCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07349641483981235572noreply@blogger.com
