Fewer men are choosing clinical psychology as a profession. We’ve known this for many years, as graduate programs in psychology — both Master’s level and doctoral — have increasingly become female-dominated. In my graduate class of 1990, over 75% of the class was female. That percentage has only increased in the past two decades. So Benedict Carey’s new article in the New York Times is a bit of a puzzler. The angle is that because of this gender discrepancy, a good male therapist is increasingly becoming difficult to find: Researchers began tracking the “feminization” of mental health care more than a generation ago, when women started to outnumber men in fields like psychology and counseling. Today the takeover is almost complete. And I say, &#...

How would you define “brain fitness” vs. “physical fitness”? Brain fitness and physical fitness are interlinked. Each enhances the other and both are essential components of successful aging. As we age, the ability to cope with inexorable challenge to social-emotional-economic well-being is rooted in having a high level of mental alertness and a physical body that functions efficiently. But fitness is not just a happy consequence of a hardy gene pool. Fitness for bo...

Hurray! The roll call vote for all of the Senators is here, reflecting the 65 votes for repeal and 35 votes against. The votes for repeal came almost exclusively from Democrats, with just eight Republicans voting yes. My own Senators, Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, were unsurprisingly among the Republicans who voted against repeal; I’m disappointed in them for voting their party and their prejudice to be on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of human rights and dignity. The repeal will not become active for at least 60 days; HRC has a Pathway to Final Repeal document [PDF] that explains the necessary next steps, and warns service members about the interim: The Human Rights Campaign i...

On Race Day, Remembering a Filly Named Ruffian. The Preakness Stakes at Pimlico may well be the homely wee sister of the Triple Crown — the Kentucky Derby being steeped in southern tradition and the Belmont Stakes as its the New York counterpart — but any race day is a good day to remember the filly who broke everyone’s heart 35 years ago. In 2007 a TV-movie, “Ruffian,” showed up on ESPN. Before that a book about her, “Burning From the Start,” was published. Four years ago her name was in the news after an injured champion named Barbaro benefitted from the recovery pool invented after Ruffian woke up from surgery, panicked, started kicking and re-injured herse...
