Cracks in the Shields

Quinn Jacobson May 17, 2023

"The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life"

Chapter 10: Cracks in the Shields (Mental Health and Terror Management Theory)

- SCHIZOPHRENIA: DEATH DEFIED

- PHOBIAS AND OBSESSIONS: DEATH DISPLACED

- POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER: THE SHIELD SHATTERED

- DEPRESSION: DEATH VISIBLE

- SUICIDE: DEATH ENACTED

- ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUGS: DEATH DIFFUSED

- MENDING THE CRACKS IN THE SHIELDS

This is a reading of the book "The Worm at the Core: On the Role of Death in Life" by Sheldon Solomon, Jeff Greenberg, and Tom Pyszczynski. Quinn will read a chapter every week and then have a discussion about it. This book, along with "The Denial of Death" by Ernest Becker, is the basis for Quinn's (photographic) book, "In the Shadow of Sun Mountain: The Psychology of Othering and the Genesis of Evil."
