Cleveland places the piece in the “Not Worth a Read” category and asks: Hasn’t this kind of simplistic “history” and inaccurate categorization of today’s critics of liberal internationalism/neoconservatism been written about a million times already?  And aren’t these types of pieces really just rhetorical bullying to prevent a serious discussion of American foreign policy? Answer: Yes, and yes. And Cleveland is hardly the first to make this observation. (e.g. here, here, and here)   As with other writers who have crawled out of the woodwork recently to write about isolationism (so-called), Greenberg is sure that it&...

This blog will discuss the increasingly complicated landscape of modern day aging, because, let’s face it, none of us is getting younger. Topics relate to healthcare and medicine, gender differences related to aging, coping with illness, and the many demands today’s middle-aged and older adults face. We’re all getting older, and with a generation of baby boomers getting to retirement age, this is the largest group of individuals that will become seniors in our nation’s history. There is a lot to navigate as we age, and few of us get a handbook to help guide us on our journey. I hope this blog will help give us the valuable tips and information that will make ...

We are all so fortunate that she is able to devote herself to helping people with diabetes.  She has much wisdom and many gifts to share with us. She wrote a post recently (A Valentine’s Gift of Health and Happiness) about her experience with Divabetics (another group I’d like to write more about – Max is awesome), and there was a section that jumped out at me. Many healthcare providers unknowingly try to motivate diabetes patients to manage their condition through fear — specifically, fear of diabetes complications, which indeed are scary. But fear motivates behavior temporarily — you jump to protect yourself from harm. Fear does not motivate sustainable behavior change because you do not want to stay focused on your fears. You jump to...

Oh, and lots of the players have familiar names. In the December 27th issue of Wired magazine, Gary Greenberg writes a comprehensive article on the debates around the revision of the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) upcoming revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) entitled “Inside the Battle to Define Mental Illness.” Do read it. Here’s an excerpt: I recently asked a former president of the APA how he used the DSM in his daily work. He told me his secretary had just asked him for a diagnosis on a patient he’d been seeing for a couple of months so that she could bill the insur...

D. about her work towards a biological cure.  Next was Tom Karlya's presentations with Kimberly Davis,  talking to your congressperson.  Then was some social time listening in with a group huddled around Cherie Stabler, Ph. D. talking about tissue engineering.  I also spent a ...

I’m referring to Ben Stiller’s character Roger Greenberg in Noah Baumbach’s latest movie. I don’t know what it is about the desperately needy, passive-aggressive, narcissistic misanthrope that sings to me, but there it is. Spoiler Alert! For those who haven’t seen the film or read reviews yet, here’s a summary: Roger Greenberg, recently released from the hospital after a nervous breakdown, goes to stay at his brother’s well-appointed L.A. home to house- and dog-sit while his sibling takes an extended vacation with his family in Vietnam. Roger’s plan is to do “nothing for a while.” Mostly, he writes letters to corporations that offend him (Starbucks, Hollywood Pet Taxi). He spends the rest of the time...

Menard lays out in excruciating detail the questions revolving around psychiatry these days, including the recent research into drug trials that suggests that some of the science psychiatry is founded upon is sometimes … Well, how shall we put it? Lacking. But it is a thoughtful piece that just doesn’t review two recent books — Gary Greenberg’s Manufacturing Depression and Irving Kirsch’s The Emperor’s New Drugs — but provides a fairly balanced set of observations and valuable historical insights about these never-ending arguments that seem to pervade psychiatry (and psychology and mental disorders in general). Questions such as: What is the basi...

There are many persistent and widely believed myths about diabetes. It's important to dispell them, especially at the beginning, to save those with diabetes from devastating mistakes. 50 Myths accomplishes this goal in an easy-to-browse fashion.

Today it was over the top, and I cannot believe this is why.This story is not about how I regret making a headline calling the man a creep.[which I do]This is a sad story now taken to where we never want to go: suicide. I am floored, and as a person who read a story, said what I thought, and now read this, well I feel like a heartless person. I am truly sorry for his family and this tragedy, and the loss of someone that people loved. I love unconditionally, and I am not going to re-write my words or delete my other post, so that it can be a learning lesson to myself to not pass judgement or say mean words.Suspended psychologist commits suicide (Source: soulful sepulcher) soulful sepulcher blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=761570 Fri, 27 Jul 2007 05:52:00 +0100 761570
