A 1981 survey of chairpersons of graduate psychology found that the respondents considered Freud the most influential figure in the history of psychology (Davis, Thomas, & Weaver, 1982).  But times have changed. “[I]f all the members of the American Psychological Association [APA] who  were concerned with Freudian psychoanalysis were collected, they would make up  less than 10 percent of the membersh...

And in psychology, researchers spend a lot of time testing these hypotheses to see how true they are. Wouldn’t it be cool to have someone who takes things from the real world and see what the research says about them? Indeed, I thought so too, so I’m happy to bring you Real World Research with Sophia Dembling. Sophia will blog here about what the research says about all sorts topics delving into human behavior, psychology, why we often feel the way we do after something happens — you name it. While the specific topic may vary, the focus will be on how research is applied to the real world. Sophia Dembling left the daily newspapers in 1994 to freelance and immediately took to the solitary lifestyle of the freelance writer. Sophia is auth...

Situationist Contributor, Phil Zimbardo will co-host the DR. PHIL TV show, on: Thursday, Dec. 9, 2010 (for local airing times, see www.drphil.com). This program continues an earlier show (Oct. 25, 2010) that focused on The Lucifer Effect, understanding how good people can turn evil, and centered on the issue of obedience to authority. The new show builds upon that theme by adding demonstrations of bullying by girls in groups, and the power of group dynamics and social trust as revealed in the recent “Bling Ring” Hollywood thefts. Millions of dollars worth of celebrity jewelry and clothing were stolen by a group of young girls, as described by one guest. The final component shifts focus to understand how “bad kids” can turn good and ev...

One is that making an account for Hildy is a bit creepy. I had to though, since famous fictitious television characters get their own accounts, I figured the attention-seeking whore that my little miss hildy is, that I’d give into her constant whining demands. Well actually, it’s  more like little wimpers as if someone were jogging on a Cupie Doll, to be more exact. Trust me, you can only take so much of that shit, and then finally give in. I’m sure Hildy would be the perfect weapon of tourture for Guantanamo Bay. After years of silence those poor inmates would be spilling their guts in no time. She does have that kind of power, trust me. However, her typing skills really suck and I’m the one having to input her... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2326529 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:43:37 +0100 2326529 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2256065&cid=t_151265_87_f&fid=34825&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wesleyjsmith.com%2Fblog%2F2009%2F03%2Foprah-culture-strikes-again.html Oprah Culture, named after the hyper successful daytime television powerhouse Oprah Winfrey, is soap opera in real life--which in the cause of destroying moralism so that nobody feels badly over their various dyfunctions--extols people pushing the envelope of cultural values, those involved in the most egregious personal irresponsibility, even criminality.Oprah Culture permeates the entire media. For example, the media helped hide Kevorkian's macabre goals by focusing obsessively on "suffering" during his nearly decade-long assisted suicide rampage, culminating with Time inviting him to its big 75th anniversary gala a decade ago where Tom Cruise--himself an A-List member of OC--ran up to shake his hand.Oprah has been guilty repeatedly of pushing Oprah Culture, for example cooing over the "...

Flowers usually work for everybody. A precious friend sent flowers as soon as I told her about the diagnosis. My sister–in-law sent them to my house as soon as I got home from surgery. While most women think that spending money on something that will not last is a waste, Dr. Phil listed smelling flowers among one of the best ways to fight stress; it causes you to stop and take a deep breath. I love flowers, and they are appropriate for someone home from surgery and limited in mobility, but I wouldn’t suggest flowers for anyone undergoing chemotherapy as some smells can increase nausea. To this day, I cannot buy particular scented hand soap because the smell seemed too intense and triggered nause...

Massachusetts plastic surgeon Christine Hamori, MD, offers VelaShape in her Duxbury, MA cosmetic surgery + skin spa center.VelaShape replaces VelaSmooth (by the same manufacturer, Syneron) as a more effective process requiring fewer treatments. It is an FDA-cleared technology that improves body shape and tone by treating both the deeper tissue and the upper layers of the skin.

When bipolar disorder is left untreated — whether via medications or other methods — people with this disorder can go back and forth between these two extremes (called “cycling”). If it happens a few times a week (or even a day), the person would have what’s called “rapid cycling,” but it’s more common for people to cycle between the two moods more slowly, over a few weeks’ or months’ time. The rumor about her possible bipolar disorder diagnosis comes from frien...

We all know that turmoil and constant marital strife can make your days seem very long and your life feel plain out miserable but it can also put you at higher risk for heart disease. In a study of 9,011 British civil servants, most of them married, those with the worst close relationships were 34 percent more likely to have heart attacks or other heart trouble during 12 years of follow-up than those with good relationships. That included partners, close relatives and friends. Being in a bad marriage proved to be a risk factor for increased heart disease but dissolving that same marriage is not exactly the answer either as non married persons proved to also be at a higher risk. Bottom line? Who the heck know... A Hearty Life blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=937000 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 10:36:47 +0100 937000
