The effects are explained by Dr. Michael Gazzaniga. From Youtube: “To reduce the severity of his seizures, Joe had the bridge between his left and right cerebral hemisphers (the corpus callosum) severed. As a result, his left and right brains no longer communicate through that pathway. Here’s what happens as a result.” * * * To watch a (3.5 minute) clip from Situationist contributor Phil Zimbardo’s program, Discovering Psychology, in whcih Michael Gazzaniga discusses the essential role of the “interpreter” in creating in each of us a unique sense of self. * * * Below you can watch an vintage (11 minute) video in which a very young Dr. G...

Though you might assume anyone who is terminally ill would become depressed, only about 25% develop serious symptoms of depression. A meta-analysis finds that they do respond to therapy with significant improvements. The argumentative comments on his post are telling; a minority of people (including some doctors) assume that depression is inevitable with a terminal diagnosis and treatment is pointless. Joseph responds: If I even show up in an emergency department with a gunshot wound in my abdomen, I sure hope the doc doesn’t refuse to treat it, saying “of course he’s bleeding to death, he’s been shot in the spleen.” Peopl...
