Do Psychologists Reject Science?Email this article to a colleague.

Do psychologists reject science (as Sharon Begley writes in her October 12, 2009 column in Newsweek Magazine)? In this column, Begley states that clinical psychologists (of the Freudian or psychodynamic type) ignore scientific data in favor of their own devices and experiences. In contrast, she lauds cognitive/behavioral approaches that ostensibly and strictly speaking presumably utilize such scientific bases to their treatment. The unalloyed truth here is that a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, or an M.S.W. in clinical social work, or an M.D. in psychiatry or an R.N. in psychiatric nursing solely, in the absence of further p...

In this study, to determine whether CREB is implicated in IL-6 production from arthritic synovial cells, a dominant negative
molecule of activation transcription factor 1 (ATF-1) was transfected into synovial cells obtained from arthritic joints of
env-pX rats. These transgenic rats carrying the env-pX gene of human T-cell leukemia virus type-1 develop destructive arthritis with high titers of serum rheumatoid factor and
are thus regarded as a suitable model of RA. The dominant negative ATF-1 (ATF-1DN) constitutes a heterodimer with CREB and
inhibits CREB function, as CREB/ATF-1DN heterodimers no longer bind to the tar...

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease and is characterized by pain and functional loss of the joint. However,
the pathogenic mechanism of OA remains unclear, and no drug therapy for preventing its progress has been established. To identify
genes related to the progress of OA, the gene expression profiles of paired intact and damaged cartilage obtained from OA
patients undergoing joint substitution were compared using oligo microarrays. Using functional categorization combined with
gene ontology and a statistical analysis, five genes were found to be highly expressed in damaged cart...
