Functional Disorders and Medically Unexplained Symptoms

This book is based on extensive research in assessment and treatment of patients with functional disorders and provides a thorough background to functional disorders as well as the etiology, classification and treatment of the disorders. The book primarily targets clinicians in primary care, non-psychiatric specialties and other health care professionals. The chapters combine research and clinical experience and also provide techniques that can be applied in daily clinical practice, both in terms of identifying the patients as well as helping the patients to better cope with their disorder. The highly structured hands-on treatment programme described in the book is now a compulsory part of the specialist training of Danish primary care physicians and has won the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicines Alan Stoudemire Award for Innovation and Excellence in Psychosomatic Medicine Education.

Dissociative Identity Disorders and Trauma: GRCC Psychology Lecture

Presented by Colin A. Ross, MD

Beyond Prozac

Lovelessness and loneliness cannot be explained by chemical changes in the brain and cured by the ingestion of drugs. Lovelessness and loneliness, like anxiety and depression and all the ways of expressing distress which are called mental disorder, are part of what it is to be human, but part that can be understood.

Psychedelics in Unlocking the Unconscious: From Cancer to Addiction – Gabor Mate

http://psychedelicscience.org Help us caption and translate this video on Amara.org:‪ ‬http://www.amara.org/en/videos/Nn3QhKSKSV0v/info/ Psychedelics in Unlocking the Unconscious: From Cancer to Addiction Gabor Mate, MD Abstract: Complex unconscious psychological stresses underlie and contribute to all chronic medical conditions, from cancer and addiction to depression and multiple sclerosis. Therapy that is assisted by psychedelics, in the right context and with the right support, can bring these dynamics to the surface and thus help a person liberate themselves from their influence. Special focus will be given to the speaker’s experience in treating addictions and other stress-related conditions, both with aboriginal people and in non-indigenous contemporary healing circles. This work has been done under the guidance of indigenous Peruvian shamans and their Western apprentices. Gabor Maté, MD is a Canadian physician, speaker, and the author of four bestselling books published in nearly 20 languages on five continents. His interests include the mind/body unity as manifested in health and illness, the effects of early childhood experiences in shaping brain and personality, the traumatic basis of addictions, and the attachment requirements for healthy child development. He has worked in family practice and palliative care, and for twelve years he worked in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, notorious as North America’s most concentrated area of drug use. He currently teaches and leads seminars internationally (drgabormate.com). More videos available at http://psychedelicscience.org At Psychedelic Science 2013, over 100 of the world’s leading researchers and more than 1,900 international attendees gathered to share recent findings on the benefits and risks of LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, ayahuasca, ibogaine, 2C-B, ketamine, DMT, marijuana, and more, over three days of conference presentations, and two days of pre- and post-conference workshops.

‘Tone-deaf and sad’: John Kerry addresses Iraq ‘crisis’ at last, royally blows it

http://twitter.com/#!/senatorshoshana/status/478902219744354304

Because priorities!

As Twitchy reported, this morning, Secretary of State John Kerry and Bill Nye the Not-a-Real-Science Guy teamed up for a Twitter forum about the ocean. That’s right. The ocean. Tweeters couldn’t help but wonder why Kerry would be futzing around with fish when Iraq is crumbling before our eyes.

Well, not to worry. Today, Kerry finally addressed the elephant seal in the room, thanks to a deep question from Nye:

http://twitter.com/#!/TheScienceGuy/status/478900525522374656

Wait … what?

http://twitter.com/#!/redsteeze/status/478902117206196228

Surely a professional like Kerry wouldn’t dignify such stupidity with a response, right? Pffft. Of course he did!

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnKerry/status/478900942927306752

Dude. That’s it? That’s his answer?

To his credit, Kerry did retweet a question from an irate tweeter wondering why the heck the ocean ranks higher on the State Department’s to-do list than mass human slaughter:

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnKerry/status/478903393097097216

Unfortunately, because he’s John Kerry, his answer demonstrated about as much intelligence as a hunk of seaweed. And that’s being generous:

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnKerry/status/478903860065755136

Profound. John Kerry, ladies and gentlemen.

http://twitter.com/#!/ChrisBarnhart/status/478906496978132995

Oh man, @TheScienceGuy asks John Kerry if Iraq-Iran are aware of global warming? Tone deaf and sad. Stop this nonsense #oceanchat now.— Ryan N. Maue (@RyanMaue) June 17, 2014

Interview With Former Watchtower Writer & Researcher (subtítulos en español)

On this episode, I speak with Ben who is a former JW elder, regular pioneer, convention speaker, and Watchtower and Awake! magazine writer and researcher for the Watchtower organization. He explains his history in the religion, some incredible insights into how the religion’s magazine articles are written, and what led to his departure. Ben’s email: fusion.photography@mac.com ENTREVISTA CON UN EX-REDACTOR Y INVESTIGADOR PARA LA SOCIEDAD WATCHTOWER En este episodio, hablo con Ben que era testigo de Jehová, anciano, y precursor regular que también daba discursos en las asambleas regionales (de distrito). Además, era redactor y investigador de las revistas Atalaya y Despertad! para la sociedad Watchtower. Él explica su historia dentro de la religión, detalles sobre la manera en que se escriben los artículos de las revistas, y el motivo por lo que él dejó a la religión. Además de este, los siguientes videos míos ya tienen subtítulos en español:

A Really Good Day

The true story of how a renowned writer’s struggle with mood storms led her to try a remedy as drastic as it is forbidden: microdoses of LSD. Her revealing, fascinating journey provides a window into one family and the complex world of a once-infamous drug seen through new eyes. When a small vial arrives in her mailbox from “Lewis Carroll,” Ayelet Waldman is at a low point. Her moods have become intolerably severe; she has tried nearly every medication possible; her husband and children are suffering with her. So she opens the vial, places two drops on her tongue, and joins the ranks of an underground but increasingly vocal group of scientists and civilians successfully using therapeutic microdoses of LSD. As Waldman charts her experience over the course of a month–bursts of productivity, sleepless nights, a newfound sense of equanimity–she also explores the history and mythology of LSD, the cutting-edge research into the drug, and the byzantine policies that control it. Drawing on her experience as a federal public defender, and as the mother of teenagers, and her research into the therapeutic value of psychedelics, Waldman has produced a book that is eye-opening, often hilarious, and utterly enthralling.

Obama says he’s sorry people are being dropped from their insurance plans

http://twitter.com/#!/The_Autopen/status/398593662294052864

In an exclusive one-on-one interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, President Obama said he was sorry to learn that people were receiving cancellation notices in the mail “based on assurances they got from me.” Of course, Twitchy has been telling the stories of these cancellations for weeks; still, that’s only a fraction of the time that President Obama has been assuring Americans that if they like their current doctors and health plans, they can keep them, period.

A one-on-one sit-down was perhaps the only place the president felt he could deliver such an “apology,” but are the people buying it? Well, they’re still forced to whether they want to or not.

There’s at least one other way to look at it.
