I'M A TERRIBLE SHRINK. YOU'D HAVE TO BE CRAZY TO COME AND SEE ME! When this first came to my head as a joke, I didn't know that by the crepuscular hours of the day, it would turn into a song.

There is a distinction I'd like to point out, and it has to do with not sweating...

I think it takes maturity. I think it takes a solid foundation of mutual trust. I think it takes gentleness. I think it takes loyalty. I think it takes humility. I think it takes unconditional love. I think it takes sacrifice. I think it takes...

"One More Sad Song"
One boy, one girl, two hearts, their world
Time goes by, secrets rise
One more, sad song, tears shed, she's gone
She'd take it back, if she only could
As time goes by, and a relationship grows, one might expect that each member of a given couple becomes...

Scriptures and Psychotherapy: Issue 2
The scriptures, and psychodynamic psychotherapy are more compatible than one may think. Freud's theory introduced a model of psychic energy consisting of the id, governed by the primary process, and concomitant forces of instinctual energy; the...

Experts suggest that the phenomenon of adolescence was born out of the industrial revolution. Rural kids of yore knew who dad was and knew what his job was. They knew who mom was and knew her place and her role within the family.
The industrial revolution ushered in new...

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, EPH 6:12.
So, how is the surge going? Well, it depends on who you are talking to. Some would say...

You see many soccer moms with smiles on their faces and an SUV filled with little kids. But are they the picture of happiness? Does the big house, the picket fence and the politically correct number of children symbolize happiness for mothers?
If renown psychologist, and...

It's sometime in late March or early April. Half the time, I can't find my journal and half the time, I can't put my thoughts together well enough to enter something that makes any sense.
It's been taking me more time to structure my sentences properly. I've been losing my ability to...

The psyche, the soul and the scriptures series:
Guilt is one of the biggest barriers to personal growth and development. It torments the soul and stifles the psyche. As a psychologist, I have had to attempt to undo what has been done to members of certain church congregations by ministers...

Wow, this trip is getting exciting! I have stored some great memories of the structures that appear right under the cortex. I love the limbic system, especially the hippocampus and the amydala. I think of the hippocampus as an old college campus for hippos. I...

It's hard for me to remember dates, days and months now, and it's a real pain trying to look them up, so I've abandoned dates on my diary, at least until my meds kick in. I'm really afraid of how these meds are going to make me feel, but I keep that to myself.
Today my wife, Cecelia,...

Paint it Black. It's a song I used to love, but could never relate to entirely. Now, sadly, I can relate to it. I know that getting depressed is a common reaction that Alzheimer's patients experience, especially as they approach the middle stage of the disease. ...

I finally found my diary again. I still know what day it is, my wife's name, my own name, and I still know who the President of the United States is---George W. Bush. I even remember that we're at war with Iraq and that his popularity has slipped a little in the polls.
