Group Psychotherapy in Inpatient, Partial Hospital, and Residential Care Settings

This book describes six therapy models that can be used to treat individuals in facilities that offer short-term group psychotherapy. Group psychotherapy can be daunting, especially for students and others who have not led groups before. Choosing a model of therapy can be especially tricky. The best therapy, as authors Virginia Brabender and April Fallon explain in this book, is one that meshes well with the needs of the patient population, the therapist, and the environment in which treatment is taking place. They also emphasize the key role of process–the interactions between and among group members and the therapist–in the mechanics of group psychotherapy. For each approach–interpersonal, psychodynamic, cognitive behavior, acceptance and commitment, problem solving, and behavioral therapies–the authors examine theoretical underpinnings, characteristic interventions, relevant research, strengths and weaknesses across different clinical contexts, and the unique demands of the therapy setting. Filled with vivid clinical vignettes, the authors demonstrate how therapists can choose, adapt, and implement the model most suited for their group.

Coronavirus Causing Lots Of Anxiety, Especially Among Children

Experts say we should focus on what we can control.

Obsession

We live in an age of obsession. Not only are we hopelessly devoted to our work, strangely addicted to our favorite television shows, and desperately impassioned about our cars, we admire obsession in others: we demand that lovers be infatuated with one another in films, we respond to the passion of single-minded musicians, we cheer on driven athletes. To be obsessive is to be American; to be obsessive is to be modern. But obsession is not only a phenomenon of modern existence: it is a medical category—both a pathology and a goal. Behind this paradox lies a fascinating history, which Lennard J. Davis tells in Obsession. Beginning with the roots of the disease in demonic possession and its secular successors, Davis traces the evolution of obsessive behavior from a social and religious fact of life into a medical and psychiatric problem. From obsessive aspects of professional specialization to obsessive compulsive disorder and nymphomania, no variety of obsession eludes Davis’s graceful analysis.

Sad! Science envoy resigns, claiming Trump’s Charlottesville response harmed the planet

It goes without saying that, as conservatives, we’re also science deniers, but we’ll admit we were shocked when we learned that the founder of the EPA’s environmental justice office had chosen to resign after 24 years at the agency. Who knew there was such a thing as the environmental justice office?

Still, that experience did little to brace us for Wednesday’s shock announcement: the Science Envoy to the Department of State was resigning as well in response to President Trump’s remarks following a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va.

Al definitely felt this one.

Al Gore is concerned that it’s bitter cold in parts of the US. Even though you know, it’s winter and that’s what happens in the winter.

Still, he and Dr. Michael Mann took time to explain that this is somehow part of a climate crisis (notice they changed it from climate change):
