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, &#...

But holidays, in particular, can make the loss even tougher to handle. “Holidays tend to cause anniversary reactions,” according to George A.

Anniversary reactions occur on the anniversary of an important event or holiday.

People stop blogging for all sorts of reasons (anonymous bloggers who fear for their future professional career; lack of interest or boredom; moving on in life to other projects or interests; family or personal life or issues; etc.). But we still miss them nonetheless. So for 2010, here’s our list of bloggers who have either stopped blogging or stopped blogging nearly so much on mental health, psychology or psychiatry issues that we miss them.

I excerpted his 9 Kinds of Hopelessness and How You Can Overcome Them awhile back, and now I wanted to focus on what you can do to find and sustain hope. Dr. Scioli is professor of Clinical Psychology at Keene State College and a member of the graduate faculty at the University of Rhode Island. Question: What is the biggest thread to hope? Anthony: If I had to pick one resource it would be surrounding oneself with good “hope providers”. I view hope in terms of four dimensions: mastery or goal strivings, attachments, survival or coping skills, and spirituality. Good relationships can serve as catalyst for the development of all four of these resources. We need a powerful presenc...

Here’s the summary: Pulling together the data for the study was no small task. Led by Twenge, researchers at five universities analyzed the responses of 77,576 high school or college students who, from 1938 through 2007, took the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, or MMPI. The results will be published in a future issue of the Clinical Psychology Review. Overall, an average of five times as many students in 2007 surpassed thresholds in one or more mental health categories, compared with those who did so in 1938. It’s no wonder that a test developed 70 years ago may not accuratel...

The people who are most harmed by this shallowness are women, especially young adults, as so many of their role models are “perfect and thin.” How can you have a healthy body image when the media constantly bombards us with messages telling us that the only good body image is a thin one? So it is with great pleasure to bring you a new blog about just this very topic — body image, the skinny fad and learning how to attain freedom from the (weight) numbers and dieting.

Yet that seems to be what’s happening in the profession of clinical psychology. A new journal article to be published next month by Timothy B. Baker, Richard M. McFall, and Varda Shoham (2009) suggests that psychology is falling apart. Specifically, the researchers argue that graduate training programs for psychologists studying to become psychotherapists has taken a wrong turn and needs to be turned around before it’s too late. So what steps could be taken to fix the apparent problem? Funny you should ask, because not only do the authors have a prescription, they actually started implementing their prescription more than a year ago. Is Psychology Like Medicine?

A quick snort of Oxycontin improves your empathy but only if you are male. The trust hormone, it seems, is also the mind-reading hormone. A sniff of oxytocin, which underpins social attachment among animals, also turns out to improve men's ability to read other people's emotions. Two years ago, researchers reported that oxytocin increases trust. Now a team led by Gregor Domes at Rostock University, Germany has investigated one of the basic components of trust: emotional recognition. The researchers sprayed oxytocin up the noses of 30 men and tested how well they could read the emotions conveyed by photographs of eyes taken in real-life situations. Twenty of them performed significantly better on the test after sniffing the hormone (B...

Given that the Washington University study purports to be the largest outpatient therapy trial for depression yet undertaken, these would appear to be perplexing results for the proponents of cognitive therapy as a treatment for depression. However, putting aside the comparison with BA, the Washington results would seem to contradict many previous studies which have shown CT to be equally effective as pharmacotherapy as a treatment for moderate depression and severe depression.

Guidelines for the Management and Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder.This is a very practical hands on book focussing on what to do and how to respond to this complex client group.  It promotes a strong  Linehan model (dialectical behaviour therapy).  The newer Transference Focussed and Schema Focussed don’t get much of a mention. It has good chapters on working with other health profession and managing risk.  I definitely recommend it.

Interesting news just out today on neurophysiological measures of empathy in both clients and clinicians. Hat tip: Eureka. As a total aside Eureka is one of the best news feeders I have found for keeping up to date with breaking science news.There is now converging evidence that, during moments of empathic connection, humans reflect or mirror each other’s emotions, and their physiologies move on the same wavelength. I suppose it is not surprise really to think that we mirror physiologically as much as psychologically with our patients but this seems to be a first step in actually beginning to be able to measure it. Actually measuring empathy is something new. Is this yet another of the clinician’s arts falling to sci...

Australian and Tasmanian professionals will appreciate information about local training and interest groups as well as opportunities for supervision. Of interest to me is Bruno’s work applying mindfulness to child and adolescent populations. Mindfulness-based psychotherapies are a growing area and mindfulness.net.au provides a great starting point for clinicians to start their journey.

In the mail this week is Paul Gilbert and Robert Leahy’s new book titled: The Therapeutic Relationship in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. I’ve been holding the book up to everybody who comes to my office over the week with a range of responses from “unbelievable” to “about time". I have to say I was delighted to see this title which I see as a sign of the rounding out and maturing of cognitive approaches to therapy. I know my headline will invoke some criticisms from the Cognitive Therapists. However looking through all the books on cognitive therapy in our clinic (and we have a lot) I could not find one that had a chapter...

It is simple, positive and easy to apply. Sometimes I like a break from all the deep stuff that demands so much more from me both as a person and a therapist. It has certainly seen rapid growth both in research and commercial exploitation. I must admit I find some of the research confusing. I remember reading a New Scientist article (can’t find the link now) on happiness indicating that most of your happiness is genetically determined, around about a whopping fifty percent. The next biggest contributor off the block at two per cent (yes only two per cent) was marriage. This is actual marriage (ring on the finger stuff) not just living together.

Googling or Dogpiling, as I prefer, for psychology blogs provides a limited list of the more well known blogs. However I like the way the discovery of many new blogs come through the author commenting on my postings or email in my inbox or a new listing on the blogroll of the other psychology blogs I read.  There is a personal connection element to blogging I have discovered I really like. A recent comment sympathising with my posting about creeping commercialisation in the blog world is a case in point. Annette is an Irishwoman with a psychodynamic focus on organisations. She has a very professional looking blog called: Interactions. She is living proof that Freud was wrong. Sigmund is quoted as saying th...

You see some sites where the blogroll disappears down the right column into the ether and beyond. This makes for some interesting decisions at times about who to put on the roll. Recently the author of All About Forensic Psychology approached me to let me know about his site. In my private practice outside of the university I do mainly forensic work and this site is an excellent one in that regard and one I read regularly. At the same time it is somewhat outside the area of psychotherapy technique and as a result I have not listed it. Similarly I received an email from Oxford University Press about their blog.

Basically this is the idea that the self has or consits of multiple parts, aspects, object or persons rather than that the self is some type of unitary concept.  Dimaggio and Stiles offer a very lucid and easy to udnerstand overview of this concept in the opening paper. Internal multiplicity is present, if not always acknowledged, in most systems of psychotherapy. It is expressed in such cognitive-behavioral concepts as automatic or intrusive thoughts and self-talk or self-statements. Self-criticism and self-blaming, for example, are forms of self-to-self relationships in which a harsh part of the self criticizes or blames a...
