A BESTIARY OF HEALERS
DADA in the Psycho Forest
The mental health industry is booming – and full of those who sell the ultimate formula for healing.
DADA keeps ambivalence alive against it.
Patricia von Papstein, the Dadaist Psychologist, celebrates loving disenchantment from inside the profession.

Happy to Be Kept Immature?
Maturing is a search, never a final state – and it feels good when our childlike agility isn't suppressed.
Staying immature means someone else always knows better what's good for us.
Immaturity Pushing keeps us there – on a never-ending pay carousel.
I ask for all of us: what does help take from us when it works perfectly?

Meet the Dealers
Immaturity makes us easy prey: we stay the baby face who won't carry the consequences.
Foggers, Clampers and Grinders deal it to us.
All tyrants, each with a different grip – mixtures happen, one always leads.

A BESTIARY OF HEALERS
The Immaturity Pushers as Foggers
To fog: to cloud over.
They deal warmth. So much talk of care that we no longer notice the billing running on – they cloud our perception.

A BESTIARY OF HEALERS
The Immaturity Pushers as Clampers
To clamp: to fix in a vise.
They deal the one answer. No second reading, every question gets the same reply – they make us afraid.

A BESTIARY OF HEALERS
The Immaturity Pushers as Grinders
To grind: to wear down.
They deal tasks, one after the next, and no spark from nowhere. Whoever doesn't join in is made to feel ashamed – they drain us.

My DADA Asks
Foggers, Clampers and Grinders put up a façade. DADA stays unimpressed – and drills into the inner life.
Who takes our swings seriously – instead of trying to ground them?
