Todschweigen Mail
Occasionally I respond to various pieces out there out of genuine concern
for those who want to quit their addictions being misled by the various
charlatans out there. Sometimes the insight is so much that those who are
criticized make believe that the exchange never occurred.
Dr. Jeffrey Schaler described this phenonenon within
his
12-Step Horror Story as Todschweigen:
"I then decided to place the situation in the court of public opinion.
I posted all correspondence about this situation on my web site, and titled
it "Todschweigen [a German word meaning "death by silence"] at Chestnut Hill
College." It's a way of shunning people by just not responding to
them."
-- Dr. Jeffrey A. Schaler, "An AA Inquisition", pp. 159
