Postponed until further notice: Ethics as the Duty to Care for psychic integration: considering sources of trauma which arise from within (hatred of difference, overwhelming guilt, raw affect); considerations that once the mind is defensively cleaved (good vs bad) mental integration is feared and avoided; review of qualities of care that foster mental integration (exemplars, hope, transcendent values, mourning).  Clinical vignettes for illustration.
