If that is the case, then it might see a little odd to create yet more mayhem, but occasionally it is sometimes best to admit defeat and go with the flow.You will need:-Felt squaresGlueSharpie Permanent pensA picture from your offspringThe temporary loan of your offspring’s fingerExamine the creature that your child has drawn to determine which, if any, are the most important features.

The more people read about others’ experiences with therapy, the more open, perhaps, they will be to considering therapy themselves. Psychotherapy is such a mysterious process to many people who haven’t tried it, so such stories take some of the mystery out of it. But not everyone’s story with psychotherapy is a positive or happy one. Some people try it many different times with many different professionals and never quite find the right fit. Others simply don’t find the process very helpful at all. And reading those experiences are just as important, because just like most treatments for mental disorders, one size does not fit all. So I enjoyed reading in today’s Boston Globe Mag...

He was asked a question he couldn’t get into the kind of answer he felt the question deserved at the time, so he posted his answer today on his blog. The question itself was thought-provoking: My question was, how do you feel about the presence of bipolar? Have you felt that it is, in the terminology of Icarus [Project], a ‘dangerous gift,’ something to be cultivated and learned from (a personality trait for which this culture marginalizes you?), or is it an invasive agent to be kept at bay? Interesting, because the definition of mental illness has never been as clean and as clear-cut as something like diabetes. It has been shaped as much by societal norms and co...
