Some very good critiques and analyses have already been posted on the blogowebs, notably by Neuroskeptic and Mindhacks. See also Abysmal Musings and Confessions of a Serial Insomniac for their thoughts on what this will mean for their respective diagnoses of bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. Neuroskeptic acerbically comments that, “If, as everyone says, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is the Bible of Psychiatry, I’m not sure why it gets heavily edited once every ten years or so.” Kind of like the Gospels being rewritten regularly to give a clearer idea of what they think Jesus meant to say. Though some people seem to think that’s not s...

They contain no new ideas: surrender, self-inventory, confession to someone outside ourselves, and some form of prayer and meditation are concepts found in spiritual movements throughout the world for thousands of years. What the Steps do is frame these principles for the suffering alcoholic – sick, frightened, defiant, and grimly determined not to be told what to do or think or believe. The Steps offer a detailed plan of action: admit that alcohol has you beaten, clean up your own life, admit your faults and do whatever it takes to change them, maintain a rel...

It was set to contain some practical tips on how to get by thrive in these challenging times. It is my pleasure to share with you the official launch of this free ebook: defiant!

Its a truism of child psychiatry that attachment disorders grow up to become borderline personality disorders, conduct disorders grow up to become antisocial personality [...] (Source: Mental Nurse) Mental Nurse blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1217916 Fri, 08 Feb 2008 16:54:42 +0100 1217916 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=487409&cid=t_284369_122_f&fid=35065&url=http%3A%2F%2Feideneurolearningblog.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F02%2Fwhy-husbands-dont-listen-to-wives.html Husband and wife researchers at Duke provide insight into why spouses don't listen to each other, and in fact might choose the opposite of what their partner wishes. If a person scored high on trait reactance (likelihood of resisting influence), even subliminal priming of the wishes of their partner resulted in opposing effects. So the influence on actions is not conscious.In their study, Chartrand and Fitzsimons found that high reactance individuals worked hardest when primed with a message from their partner that told them to "relax". When primed with the opposite ("work hard"), they relaxed and did little work. It's interesting that the effect was present even subliminally. One wonders about other relationships - parent-child, teacher-student, boss-employee.Queried about the results, Dr...
