maladaptive and progressive schemata

Emacs Lisp mode for fontification of "maladaptive" schemas:
https://raw.github.com/holtzermann17/rid-mode.el/master/mal-mode.el

Working on this was rather tedious. What I'd like better than what
I've made here would be a "progressive" word-list generating tool that
would not only extract an initial list of keywords from a given
document, but flesh that list out over time to make a better
representation of the key ideas, based on keywords found in the
documents. For example, if a known keyword A appears many times in a
given document, some new word B that also appears frequently in that
document should be added to the list of words that A is a part of.

Also, the maladaptive schema stuff is tedious because it is
depressing! "Maladaptive Schemas are self-defeating, core themes or
patterns that we keep repeating throughout our lives." Things like
"The perceived instability or unreliability of those available for
support and connection", or "The expectation that others will hurt,
abuse, humiliate, cheat, lie, manipulate, or take advantage."

It's also not entirely clear to me that working on this tool was
itself "adaptive", but I wanted to make another analytic module I
could share on the GNU Emacs mailing list (because rid-mode.el was
copyright encumbered).
