		<description><![CDATA[There was an interesting article recently in Live Science Online News on October 11, 2011 titled, "Military Seeks Sensor to Gauge Brain's Reaction to Stories," by Stuart Fox, InnovationNewsDaily Assistant Editor. The article stated that,

"DARPA plans to not only figure out why hearing or reading a particular story may change someone's life, but also plans on developing sensors that can scan people's brains to identify those changes. Narratives exert a powerful influence on human thoughts and behavior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often, when people talk about introverts and extraverts, they think in terms of whether people enjoy social interactions. In fact, the true definitions of introversion and extraversion have to do with where a person finds meaning - and for this reason, knowing which you are can help you make life decisions that leave you happier and more fulfilled.

I was surfing the web the other day and came across a site that defined introverts as people who do not enjoy social situations and who are more comfortable alone. Now, if the author had prefaced the word 'introvert' with the word 'social', then you wouldn't be reading this article because I wouldn't have written it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do movies make a difference in our lives? Of course they do. We are human beings and we learn from what we see, hear and feel. Movies offer it all.

Even when the experience is vicarious and we are only imagining ourselves in a role, movies affect us because of the combined impact of music, dialogue, lighting, camera angles, and sound effects that enable a film to bypass our ordinary defensive censors.

We can become emotionally receptive and energized by an uplifting message, or we can become desensitized to violent behavior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The role of the student social worker is not without cognitive dissonance: a mind state generally recognized in the field of psychology as a feeling of discomfort brought about by engagement in behavior inadequately aligned with one's attitudes/beliefs. The level, frequency and intensity of such dissonance can vary, depending upon a few different things, such as the individual student's emerging (professional) identity, personal awareness around such identity and the particular circumstance(s) facing the student.

Every master's level social work program involves a practice component, which typically consists of an unpaid internship, of various design and quality; students undertake their internships (also known as practicums) in many different service delivery organizations/systems, including psychiatric, correctional and educational facilities (to name but a few). If an individual is to encounter difficulties during time spent in social work school, it is often at the practice juncture that the problems begin to arise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are different fields of psychology each assuming a study of different aspect of human behaviour as it relates to social, mental, emotional and developmental issues. Whilst clinical psychology looks at diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, emotional disturbances and behaviour problems, child psychology looks at the mental and emotional development of the child and is also a part of developmental psychology which takes into consideration the study of change in behaviour that occurs throughout the lifespan of the child.

Cognitive psychology looks at how the human mind receives and interprets impressions and ideas while social psychology examines how the actions of others influences the behaviour of an individual (Webster's New World Medical Dictionary).

Consequently there are several schools of thought on the subject and countless tests, assessments and research have been carried out in these different branches of psychology, each addressing issues and causes as they relate to human behaviour. The branch of psychology relating to the child however has seen a great deal of interest over the years.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Fairy Story for the Chinese Female Single Patient:

Introduction

Often in therapy a story can help the client to understand their own emotions and feelings about their own situation. At first they just hear the story as a narrative but soon as with most good stories the client puts themselves into the action and associates with the plot line, as they try to make sense of how they can assimilate the underlying psychological message to their own lives.

In China many young girls under 27 years old are obsessed with finding Mr. Right, the boy who is from the good family, with a good education, with a good job with good prospects and has a good character.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Psychology is a subsystem within a larger socially, politically and historically constructed reality. This is at least my understanding of psychology.

In my mind we need a psychology for us Iranian that enables us comprehend our everyday life, behaviours, thoughts, and emotions. Every culture has their own cultural psychology to define the most significant aspect of mental health within their communities.

I appreciate Western psychology and the mainstream psychology for their hard work in generating knowledge about human mind.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What constitutes consciousness? Where does it reside? Is it strictly personal - or also transpersonal? Is there actually a "collective unconscious"? What happens to consciousness when we die? And perhaps most intriguing, why do we have this phenomenon at all?

Consciousness has only become a serious field of study in the scientific community within the past 20 years, though it represents a perennial focus of philosophical and theological inquiry. To define the term itself has proven difficult, alternately having been equated with a wakeful state, attention, spirituality, self-awareness. Others have gone further, suggesting awareness beyond the self, and capacity for experience.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does psychology as an import from Western culture adequately explain Eastern behavior? Are all human brains and thus, development, cognition, and behavioral patterns essentially alike? Are its methods of therapy appropriate or displaced? Are the goals for outcome similar regardless of geography, or must they be modified to reflect the values of the dominant culture? And perhaps most of all: is the overlay of a Western model of the mind effecting change on the cultural psyche of the East?

Psychology as a scientific study has the pathology-driven Western medical model at its foundation, overlaid by the values of ancient Greece, such as individuation, self-control, and self-efficacy. The cultures of Asia have at their core the values of ancient China, such as hierarchy, moral development, achievement, and social responsibility, and a non-dualistic medical system that is based on principles of balance and harmony. Some, such as Richard Nisbett in The Geography of Thought,argue that these phenomenally diverse core systems result in very different processes of cognition.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Integrative Psychotherapy is defined in three ways: (1) a blend of psycho-therapeutic approaches based on each client's uniqueness; (2) an approach that considers the best of both Eastern and Western models of mental health; and, (3) a combination of psychological and somato-energetic therapies for the goal of mental and emotional well-being. Further, the whole person is considered, not only mental and emotional aspects but also physical, spiritual, and social components plus the transpersonal realm. This model is well supported by evidence-based healthcare practices and brings together therapeutic models and methodologies from both ends of the mind-body continuum in order to assist in the restoration of a state of balance.

Integrative Psychotherapy indeed represents the very balance that it's meant to facilitate.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We all know about intelligence: the kind measured by IQ (and Mensa) tests. A measurement of verbal-linguistic and logical-mathematic skills, this appears on first consideration to be an accurate portrait of intellect. Howard Gardner, a psychologist at Harvard, theorized (and popularized) the concept of "multiple intelligences" during the past two decades, a theory which highlights types of intelligence beyond this measure: musical, kinetic, visual-spatial, and more.]]></description>

Along with monitoring and evaluating, advising and instructing, I tried to support her and her professional growth and to share my experiences with clients, including mistakes I made.

We worked on developing treatment plans as she needed this skill for her work in the agencies. We went to the bookstore and she purchased one of the excellent treatment planning guides, and I helped her walk through choosing the long-term goals, short-term objectives, and therapeutic interventions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it came time to assess my supervisee, I focused on her diagnostic and treatment planning skills, her theoretical basis, the stage of her professional development and skill level, and her interpersonal style:

The supervisee had many of the characteristics expected at the novice level: confusion between textbook knowledge and practical application, insecurity about the "doingness" of therapy, and lack of therapeutic techniques and case management skills for a variety of issues. She needed to become comfortable with client sessions, learn how to conduct an intake, take session notes, and how to present a case. She didn't know how to identify when a client might have an Axis II diagnosis, and as novices often do, tended to under-diagnose.]]></description>

She became the first female physician in Italy upon her graduation from medical school in 1896. Then, she was chosen to represent Italy at two different woman's conferences, in Berlin in 1896 and in London in 1900.

Her clinical observations led her to analyze how children learn, and she concluded that they build themselves from what they find in their environment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Abstract:

In this paper I want to review the investigations from the Citizens Committee for Human Rights in Mental Health. It is this organisation in the United States and other countries that have consistently brought the dangers of psychiatry to the attention of the general public who by and large are the victims of a marriage between pharmaceutical companies and their paid distributors of lethal drugs, psychiatrists. This alliance has been based on the greed for money, profits and kudos all in the name of a science that as one leading authority called - "hokum"

Introduction: A Short History

The history of psychiatry is strewn with the deaths; torture and misadventure that would make any sane person wonder why it has been allowed to continue to practice this black art for so long.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do I start? It's gonna be difficult to write this post in a way that everyone can ready it and at the same time don't commit heresy by not being rigorous and awaken the wrath of my colleagues.

Also, I don't want to get into the "politics" of Freudian Psychoanalysis and the "war" it's into against other branches of Psychology such as cognitive sciences. The point I'm trying to prove is that Freudian Psychoanalysis and the people who study and has studied it (including me) have some points and miss some others.

I think Freud was dead right regarding the dynamics of the unconscious mind (the existence of unconscious processes is not arguable). (mental note: avoid being technical) Once you understand the theory and articulate it, you can trace behaviors back to its' elemental state.]]></description>

Curiously, even as humans are increasingly accepting of political and cultural pluralism, there is still insufficient focus on how pluralism in general arises from differences in breeds of humans. Populous mammals like dogs and cats have a number of breeds that cluster by physiological external differences like size and internal neural differences like aggressiveness, friendliness, and task specialization.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm in the midst of reading a fascinating book by Philip Alcabes. The very title, "Dread: How Fear and Fantasy Have Fueled Epidemics from the Black Death to Avian Flu" gives me fodder for at least one article without even reading the book.

There is so much fuel for thought in this book, that you will have the opportunity to read several articles as my mental juices are stimulated.

As a Mind-Body Psychotherapist I work with the concept and the emotion of fear. From the lowest level of anxiety to full blown panic, this emotion can cause the heart to race and one to shudder in anticipation of the possible event that one's life feels out of control.

Decisions made when in a state of fright are not, by their very nature, rational.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Source of All Good Healing

Psychology and fundamentalism at best have been polite opponents. In recent history, say the last 50 years, this opposition has become vigorous and often less than polite. Many churches, such as Calvary, completely eschew all mental health practitioners (whether social workers, psychiatrists or counselors) and staunchly maintain that all healing comes directly from God or prayer and that all you need in order to develop and maintain a robust mental health may be found in Scripture or a prayer session.

This rejection of psychotherapy may have been a reaction to the "I'm okay, you're okay" generation of therapists who did very little for most people except to allay the anxieties of narcissists and sociopaths by telling them "if it feels good, it is good." In the eyes of both Orthodox Jews and Christians, the field of humanistic psychology took the whole program of self-improvement one giant step too far, putting man in the center of the universe, particularly his own.

Their objections were not wrong.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Millions of women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond are raptly following the romantic escapades of 18-year-old Bella in the teenage romance series known as Twilight. What, we may wonder, is the emotional yearning that drives them?

Feminists loathe the fact that Freud described many of his female patients as suffering from hysteria. Though I consider myself a feminist, I'll take the risk of saying I think hysteria aptly explains grown-up women's frenzy over Twilight.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT is a psychotherapeutic approach used by therapists to help to promote positive change in people by addressing their thought patterns, feelings and behavioural issues. Difficulties with irrational thinking, dysfunctional thoughts and faulty learning are identified and then treated using CBT. Therapy can be conducted with individuals, groups or families and the goals of CBT are to restructure one's thoughts, perceptions and responses which facilitate changes in behaviours.

The earliest form of CBT was developed by an American Psychologist, Albert Ellis (1913-2007) in 1955, naming his approach Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, a Christian colleague made it clear to me that he found the use of hypnosis at the very least questionable and at the very worst "dark." He asked me to refrain from using it in my psychotherapy work with my contract patients in the agency he founded. For lack of time, I assured him that I would honor his wishes, but quickly pointed out to him that the use of hypnosis (whether it was formal trance or Verbal First Aid, which is the use of words to facilitate healing in acute situations, such as accidents or shock) was no different than the use of a knife. In the hands of a good surgeon, it could be a life-saver.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From two Greek words: psyche, which means the mind or the soul and logos, which means study, the science of Psychology has been studied and defined by many people throughout the ages. Hilgard, Morgan, Silverman, and Schlesinger are just a few. A careful analysis of their foregoing definitions of psychology reveals common points: Psychology is the scientific study of the behaviors of living organisms; the term behavior must not be solely attributed to man's physical reactions and observable behavior; and thoughts, feelings, and attitudes are also connected to the term behavior.

The primary goals of Psychology are mainly to describe, identify, understand and explain behavior, to know its factors, and to control or change behavior.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On why we have dreams and the functions of dreaming 

The psychology of dreams has been explained either with the psychoanalytic interpretation of dreams and the psycho-physiological process of dreaming. Thus there are two distinct schools in the psychology of dreams - one school of thought believes in the relation between REM sleep and dreaming, the role of dreams in learning and dreams as a result of random neural firings further leading to random images that may not have any significance; and the other school of thought believes that dreams occur as a result of unconscious and repressed impulses and could be explained with psychoanalytic symbolism and in turn also explain psychic phenomenon or even lead to understanding the causes of mental illnesses.

According to Freud, 'dreams are the royal road to the unconscious', in the sense that dreams could be analyzed in a way that will reveal the hidden impulses in the unconscious. Dreams may thus reveal who we 'really' are, what we 'really' want and how we want to attain these desires.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many years before Aaron Beck developed his Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Freud's concept of psychodynamics held sway. It's based on a person's re-actions to his or her environment and their genetic make-up.

Beck tired of this long held view, and in 1967 in his paper, 'Depression. Causes and Treatment,' first came to describe his theory of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

At about the same time, another eminent psychiatrist, Dr.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1972, Thomas Nagel first introduced what is now known as the "epistemic gap" amongst contemporary philosophers. It was described in his paper "What Is It Like To Be A Bat?" and the gist of the argument was this: one cannot fully understand the mind unless one is experiencing that mind.

Nagel took the example of a bat because bats are so fascinatingly different than humans; they hang upside down most of the time, use echolocation, they are nocturnal, and most eat nothing but insects. Could a human ever convincingly claim that he knew what it was like to be a bat? Nagel didn't believe this was possible - I agree.

Can the same be true amongst humans? Can another human fully understand the mind of another, or, does one have to be in the first-person to understand the mind more clearly?

Philosopher Frank Jackson wrote a paper in 1982 titled "Epiphenomenal Qualia" where he introduced the famous thought experiment known as Mary's room.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are almost completely unaware of the evolution of psychic function. We believe that people of ancient times were exactly like us, as if conscious human nature was born, like Paul Bunyan, in it's present form, without any need for psychic leaps of understanding-perhaps most of which haven't happened yet. Whether as archeologists, historians, sociologists, or anyone studying ancient times, we draw conclusions about motive and state of mind based upon present-time human consciousness, assuming that psychically we always have been like we are today, and always will be exactly the same.

Indeed the entity least studied on planet Earth is human nature.]]></description>
