Why Should You Care About the Controversial DSM V?
Date: 06/04/2013
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), version 5, is finally out after years of debate and posturing. This book is considered the "Bible" of psychiatry. It is the one used by all clinicians and doctors to give diagnoses so insurance companies will pay for mental health benefits and so treatment can be directed. It is part science and part art and that can be a problem. For example, in 1968, ...

Autism Risk Linked to Newborn's Placenta
Date: 05/16/2013
One in 50 children are now diagnosed with autism (CDC). Right now, there are no definitive tests to tell whether a child will develop autism, but we know that the earlier we detect autism, the better we can serve a child. So how about detection at birth?

Medicine Keeps Changing But Not Well-Being
Date: 05/27/2013
By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP Anyone who regularly follows the medical news from the Associated Press or New York Times will get the impression of fickleness.

Remember where you are going
Date: 02/07/2013
Each of us has been given a plan for our lives. For most, that blueprint remains a mystery and a puzzle. We wander back and forth unsure of our footing or grasp. Much like a mountain climber who has no safety rope or pick, we inch our way through life fearing each move. There is challenge and fear because we know that one wrong move will plunge us to a certain death. Yet, there is little ...

Remember--a Christian discipline
Date: 02/06/2013
Remembering is a vital Christian discipline that is either ignored or taught in an off-handed, casual manner. Most of us know that routine thinking is defined by psychologists as remembering what happened in the past and rehearsing how we would change it if we could relive the event. Perhaps that is the reason why Christians disregard the command of Jesus to “do this to remember me.” Why ...

She is never early. Always late. He cannot speak without using offensive or vulgar expressions. ”I’M marching to a different drummer” is her excuse for breaking all the rules and acting selfishly.
