Jul 9, The Clinical Method: Today in the History of Psychology (9th July 1903)
Charles Gilman, the first client to be treated at the world's first psychological clinic at the University of Pennsylvania (clinic entrance shown in picture) had his last session with pioneering psychologist Lightner Witmer who had been approached by Charles Gilman's teacher, concerned over his student's inability to learn to spell.
As part of an innovative approach which Witmer called 'the clinical method' Gilman was assessed using a combination of psychological tests and educational interventions; the result of which was a significant improvement in Gilman's academic performance.

Government Unions and Dysfunctional Government
Why is government so often dysfunctional? Why is it, in contrast to the voluntary sector of society, so often slow, inefficient, wasteful, and counterproductive? Peter Schuck explored the question at length recently in his book Why Government Fails So Often . Chris Edwards offers a shorter and more libertarian analysis in a recent Cato policy study . But maybe these two new stories from the past few days shed some light on the question, first from Washington, D.C.: Metro officials fired a senior mechanic just weeks after the L ’Enfant Plaza smoke incident last year, alleging that he failed to properly inspect a tunn...

“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.” - Aristotle
When we see people do incredible things, it’s natural for us to want to know how exactly how they’ve done them.
We watch the news or follow world affairs and see people accomplishing incredible feats all the time, and one thought often plays in the back of our minds.
Could I do that?

The Truth About Tubal Ligation Reversal Surgery
Have you been told your tubal ligation is not reversible…or once your tubes have been tied that you can never be a mother again?
The truth is that tubal ligation is reversible and you can be a mother again.
Many health care providers will mistakenly advise you your only option to have more children after tubal ligation is in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Unfortunately this is not correct.
In fact, tubal reversal can be more affordable and more successful than IVF. Leading reproductive specialists have recently reported:
“Tubal reversal has a significantly higher pregnancy rate than IVF, and is more affordable, e...

Does Monetary Policy Have a Future?
I have chosen a provocative title, but it is fully justified. Fed officials are flying on autopilot, but the controls don ’t work anymore, or at least not reliably. Fed watchers are largely clueless. The investment community and the economy may be collateral damage.Let me begin by briefly reviewing the recent past. All through last year, Fed officials were signaling they would begin a program of rate increases. At first, there were going to be 8 increases of one quarter point. As the year progressed, the first increase faded into the future. Finally, in December 2015, the Fed finally hiked its new interest-rate targets b...

Anti-Vaccinators and their Brave Fight Since the Smallpox Vaccine
With the development of the very first vaccination of smallpox, brave anti-vaccinators fought against the dangerous, ill-advised practice of vaccinations. Those fighting against vaccines included the most intelligent and respected physicians of their time. [1]
This fight has been steadfast and continuous, as anti-vaccinators fought against an unjust, dangerous medical procedure. Vaccinations have always only profited the vaccine makers, not the people targeted for vaccines. Today’s anti-vaccination movement, while still in the minority, is most likely the largest we have had in history.
First Anti-Vaccinators

Concerns about the " Border Adjustable " Tax Plan from the House GOP, Part I
The Republicans in the House of Representatives, led by Ways& Means Chairman Kevin Brady and Speaker Paul Ryan, have proposeda “Better Way” tax plan that has many very desirable features.Death tax repealDepreciationreplaced with expensingCorporate tax ratedropped to 20 percentNodeduction for state and local taxesAnd there are many other provisions that would reduce penalties on work, saving, investment, and entrepreneurship. No, it ’s not quitea flat tax, which isthe gold standard of tax reform, but it is a very pro-growth initiative worthy of praise.That being said, there is a feature of the plan that merits closer ...

Bozos on the Trump Health Care Bus: An Evidence-Denying Advocate, Former CEO of a Company Which Committed a $1.7 Billion Fraud, and An Internet Troll
Normally, the sorts of people who are responsible for health policy for the US government are not the most flamboyant in the world. Government advisers and officials show up on theHealth Care Renewal, an equal-opportunity offender, usually because ofconflicts of interest issues, particularly therevolving door.

Healthcare Insurance: America ’s Collective Action Nightmare
By CHARLES SILVER
Across the country, ugly confrontations are occurring between Republican lawmakers who pledged to repeal Obamacare and Americans who are afraid of losing their healthcare coverage. The protesters’ fears are understandable. The cost of medical services can be devastating. The chief selling point for Obamacare was that, between the guarantee of coverage on the exchanges and the expansion of Medicaid, the vast majority of Americans would be protected. And the main difficulty that Republicans face in repealing Obamacare is the widespread concern that tens of millions of people might be tossed off th...

An open letter to Psychological Medicine about “ recovery ” and the PACE trial
In conclusion, noted Wilshire et al., “the claim that patients can recover as a result of CBT and GET is not justified by the data, and is highly misleading to clinicians and patients considering these treatments.”
In short, the PACE trial had null results for recovery, according to the protocol definition selected by the authors themselves. Besides the inflated recovery results reported in Psychological Medicine, the study suffered from a host of other problems, including the following:
*In a paradox, the revised recovery thresholds for physical function and fatigue–two of the four recovery measures–were...

Make Trumpcare the First Big Step toward a Free Market in Healthcare
By CHARLES SILVER
Say what you will about Obamacare—at least President Obama eventually took ownership of it. When it comes to the American Health Care Act, President Trump isn’t ready to do that. He’s discouraging people from calling it “Trumpcare.” Since Trump normally he puts his name on everything within reach—even the trash can liners at the Trump SoHo Hotel bear his moniker—he must be keeping his distance from the AHCA because he’s ashamed of it.
The editors of The New York Times think he should be. They accuse Trump and the rest of the GOP of “Trading Health Care for the Poor for Tax Cuts for the R...

How politicians mislead their constituents on health care
When Louisiana resident Andrea Mongler wrote to her senator, Bill Cassidy, in support of the Affordable Care Act, she wasn’t surprised to get an email back detailing the law’s faults. Cassidy, a Republican who is also a physician, has been a vocal critic.
“Obamacare” he wrote in January, “does not lower costs or improve quality, but rather it raises taxes and allows a presidentially handpicked ‘Health Landing Pages Choices Commissioner’ to determine what coverage and treatments are available to you.”
There’s one problem with Cassidy’s ominous-sounding assertion: It’s false.
