As we get older, however, the disappointments get bigger. It’s not the game we lost, but the games we can’t even play that upsets us. It’s not the rides we can’t get on, but the rides that life thrusts upon us on that really gets our goat. It’s not the gifts we didn’t get, but the unwanted gifts we got that makes us want to be a kid again, throw our hands up in the air, cry and scream, “It’s not fair!” Whether it’s physical or mental illness, tragedy or a natural disaster, life will hand us unexpected challenges.

It’s been almost two years since the first post in my Psych Central series on the paradigm shift occurring for therapists in how we present ourselves on the web.  In October 2009, in Psychotherapists Unmasked on the Internet, I used an exchange between my psychiatrist father (of 45 years) and myself, a new Marriage and Family Therapist, to demonstrate the clash of eras and belief systems occurring.  He had given me a hard time about putting my picture up on my website several years back but in the end asked me to help him figure out how to get a website up for himself (sheepish gri...

One of those places is in our schools. Schools can be a helpful frontline in the identification — through screening programs — of at-risk children and teens who may get a mental disorder. In the past decade, schools have also become a necessary component of ensuring students who need mental health treatment have access to something that can help. But University of Missouri researchers caution that when it comes to mental health programs in schools, one size does not fit all. Just trying to implement research-based solutions without truly understanding what the problem is in a particular school or sch...

You were knocked for a loop, of course. You cried. You felt a piercing, painful sense of loss and longing. Maybe you felt like the best part of you had been ripped away forever. You probably lost sleep, and didn’t feel much like eating. You may have felt this way for a few weeks, a few months, or even longer. All this belongs to the world of ordinary bereavement — not of clinical depression. Yet the two constructs of “normal grief” and major depression are a source of continued controversy and confusion — and not just among the general public. Many clinicians still find it hard to disentangle grief and depression, inspiring countless debates over ...

According to a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychiatric Association last week, the 8,600 comments submitted in response to the draft of the new version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (called the “DSM-5″ for short — the 5 stands for the 5th edition of the book) helped spur changes in the draft. To me, this kind of change demonstrates a fundamental shift in the ability to engage in a meaningful scientific/clinical dialogue. Twenty years ago, there was no easy feedback mechanism for a project of this scale. Back then, significant time and resources would be needed in order to get legitimate and critical feedback (e.g., setting up focus groups in multiple geographic locations, ...

Bless these people for actually volunteering to share their stories with me, someone who has been told she is a “good listener,” but isn’t really sure at this point what else she can offer another person therapeutically. We’ve been told silence is golden. I’m hoping it isn’t also awkward. Yes, I did read my theory textbook last semester, and have my “favorite,” although by no means am I an expert in any of them!

The DSM is used by clinicians in the mental health field to diagnose mental disorders according to the symptom lists contained in the book. The DSM is also used by researchers to ensure that when one researcher is talking about treatments for “major depression,” another researcher will use the same definition for “major depression.” I’m no defender of the DSM revision process, as previous blog entries have noted.

Mentored by Freud himself, Jung broke off from Freud to found his own theory of human behavior, nowadays generally referred to as Jungian psychology. The Jungian theories place more emphasis on the spiritual side of our inner psyche, and the belief that all of humanity shares what he referred to as a collective unconscious. He also believed in the power of archetypes — that our myths and symbols are universal and innate and serve a greater purpose in helping us learn from each of our stages in life. Carl Jung died 48 years ago, but he still has a devout following of professionals, clinicians and researchers who believe in the power of his theories. While not a popular form of psychotherapy in the United States, it r...

Well, in the hands of a sloppy mental health professional, the answer might be “nothing” — all three might be diagnosed as “major depression.” But is this really sloppy diagnosis (or, as researchers would call it, a “diagnostic challenge”), or a simple result of how mental health is typically reimbursed in the U.S.? Researchers Monroe & Reid (2009) argue that clinicians and researchers need to do a better job in evaluating depression in context of a person’s life stress. Without doing so, they argue “one cannot determine whether or not the presenting condition represents an understandable response to adve...

Most clinicians simply don’t spend a lot of time measuring or worrying about measuring their client’s progress. If this is a problem in the mental health professions, it’s virtually a non-existent exercise in primary care practices. You know, those places where most people actually get their antidepressants. Why should anyone care about measuring what a person is feeling or experiencing?

I hope to continue on the road that Dr. Gareth paved so well. My first inclusion in to the land of PsychSplash involves Human Research Subjects Training. As a Ph.D. Student who is almost finished with his proposal, I am working on the IRB as well, and this can be a daunting task sometimes to keep the principles of the human research participant combined with my own wanting to get the proposal done.

Most research into psychotherapy requires use of a specific “program” or manual of instructions or exercises that most therapists, in the real world, have trouble sticking to. Because if you’re been practicing for 5, 10 or 20 years, you’re not likely to throw out everything you’re currently doing just because some new research suggests a different technique might be more effective. Researchers, on the other hand, have a hard time understanding what it’s like to be a clinician. Most researchers work within a very small niche or section of psychology, studying just one well-defined asp...

A regular theme on HealthBlog has been the growing use of contemporary, lower-priced, very powerful, knowledge worker solutions in healthcare settings around the world.  I've written about hospitals and clinics in countries like Spain, Portugal, Germany, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and elsewhere that are using development tools, technologies and solutions from Microsoft (and our partners) to meet their need for scalable, intuitive, mobile, modern IT solutions in clinical settings.  These are clinical settings and clinicians that now enjoy improved care...

Their reasoning? Test publishers have not shown any basis, other than pure speculation, that making such tests available for sale could cause the public harm. Many psychological tests are “protected” or “secured,” meaning they are originally sold only to certain qualified professionals (e.g., licensed professionals or researchers), with proof of their qualification. This is done to protect the integrity of the test. The more people know about a specific test (say, one of the IQ tests commonly used, or the MMPI...

On average, doctors spot only 1 in 4 children that have high blood pressure. I would say that is a reason for concern. And when you do the math, that would mean that there are over 1.5 million kids that are “living” with undiagnosed hypertension. What is the reason behind this very, very frightening little statistic… One of the biggest reasons that hypertension is missed in children is that normal blood pressure values change based on a child’s age, gender and height. So, while 120/80 mm/Hg is a normal reading for an adult and for some older children, that same reading could indicate high blood pressure in a younger, shorter child. So my suggestion is to be that pushy parent. Yes, take it from a nurse mommy of 3 that has had her...
