Choose Your Cognitive Therapist Wisely
By: Larry Lloyd, Wed Apr 4th, 2007
The issue with cognitive therapy is the Therapy part. When someone needs cognitive therapy, how can you be sure that the therapist and the curriculum he/she is using will have the ability to adjust faulty thinking and self-defeating behaviors? There are numerous therapists out there each with their own interpretations and curriculum. Few if any, are evidence based with sufficient confirmation that what they’re using is right and useful.

Misdiagnosing Personality Disorders as Bipolar I Disorder
By: Sam Vaknin, Wed Mar 7th, 2007
The manic phase of the Bipolar I Disorder is often misdiagnosed as a Personality Disorder. In the manic phase of Bipolar Disorder, patients exhibit many of the signs and symptoms of certain personality disorders, such as the Narcissistic, Borderline, Histrionic, or even Schizotypal Personality Disorders: they are hyperactive, self-centered, lack empathy, and are control freaks. The manic patient is euphoric, delusional, has grandiose fantasies, spins unrealistic schemes, and has frequent rage attacks (is irritable) if her or his wishes and plans are (inevitably) frustrated.

Lesbians And The Psychology Of Body Art, Piercings & Tattoos
By: Sarah Harris, Wed Apr 4th, 2007
Society, and the pressure it exerts on its members to conform, must not be underestimated. We, as lesbians (and women), know this only too well. Many of us were discouraged from playing with so-called “boys toys”, and many of our families still have a problem with the length of our hair, or the way we dress, or both. I recently overheard a woman in a bus queue asking a little girl who can’t have been older than four or five, whether she had a boyfriend yet. The subtle (and not so subtle) social pressures are there right from the word go.

What Is Success? Is It Money? Is It Recognition?
By: Al Zan, Wed Apr 4th, 2007
What is success? Is it money? Is it recognition? I think that any serious entrepreneur will need to face the difficult question: “What is my definition of success?” This would apply equally to the on-line world as much as non-Internet businesses. While this may seem like a strange position for me to take when there is so much hype about how to be successful around, I think it’s an important point for reflection. And if you are reading this saying “that’s easy, it’s to make money” - think again. It really isn’t that easy.
