The new biography of the world's most famous amnesiac, HM, is an inspiring, entertaining and informative read
'Why Sir, if you have but one book with you upon a journey let it be a book of science. When you read through a book of entertainment, you know it, and it can do no more for you, but a book of science is inexhaustible'.
This quote of Samuel Johnson’s was recorded by his Scottish friend, James Boswell, in his book, Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, published in 1785, a year after Johnson’s death.
Suzanne Corkin’s new biography of Henry Molaison, the man with no memory, is a…

The Terrible Love of War
The author James Hillman wrote a book a few years back entitled A Terrible Love of War. In it, he discusses the complexities and paradoxes of war in the human psyche. I was struck by how many of these same contradictions and brutalities described rape culture and the violence that exists within each of us. That which we consider relative peacetime is often anything but. This is why Hillman titles one section “War is Normal” and another “War is…

Color Of Broken Eyes
Color Of Broken Eyes

2011 06 07
Ice glitters in a glass of water forlorn
if silver were true color of broken eyes
or nothing swallows hot milk of death
so she chokes and gasps for breath.
Bow rips across her violin heart soft
as feathers plucked from crippled swan
whose last song is smothered by hand
of iron doctor twisting wires ripped sharp.
Eighty-six girls in torn white gowns
stand staring at you… Continue

Therapy Day
Bad news hits you in the pit of your stomach. Your center of gravity shifts, the magnetic pull of the earth holding you fast to your seat. It leaves you trembling, off-balance, dizzy. Hands shake, gait is unsteady, your head swims.
Some months ago, my latest helpful female therapist suggested I'd make greater progress with a male psychologist instead. And in the interest of greater health and personal insight I nervously followed suit. Once a week I sit in a stuffy basement… Continue

Therapists Can Be Wrong About Weight Issues
Just because someone is a therapist doesn't mean they're always right. In fact, they can be downright wrong, especially when it comes to weight issues. Therapists are ordinary human beings, and they can be just as brainwashed by popular theories as the next person. Popular theories about weight that are widely accepted as truth include:
-- The way to lose weight permanently is to…

Slavery in America’s Heartland? It’s a 21st Century Dirty Secret Affecting Girls as Young as 12.
Slavery is not dead in America. Human trafficking – forcing people to work against their will – is the second-largest criminal industry in the world; illegal sale of drugs is first. The money raised by trafficking girls for sex is used to purchase illegal drugs and guns, two commodities that bring in more money and wield more power for the men who possess them. The girls sold for sex don’t get any of the money they earn.
Don’t kid… Continue

The Nicer the Nice, the Higher the Price
I encountered the phrase “humble dependence” in a book I was reading this morning. Though in the context of the text it was meant to refer to a relationship between God and man or woman, I couldn’t help but wonder aloud about our own human dependencies. Are any earthly dependencies, regardless of the context or the situation, truly humble, deferring to superior judgment and guidance? For example, how much of any romantic relationship in which we… Continue

I Love Research!
My recent WIP involves a stalker, specifically a celebrity stalker. Until recently, all I’ve known about stalkers is what I see on television and read in the papers. Like me, you’re probably familiar with the most famous cases–the ones that ended in death, like Rebecca Schaeffer and John Lennon. Then there are the ones who barely escaped death, like Theresa Saldana. And there are the ones who are fodder for jokes like David Letterman’s stalker who has broken into his home more than once. Then… Continue

Karaoke as Cheap Therapy
"I think it heals the soul," she whispers, as if a secret.
"I think it does too, Aunt." I reply.
My Aunt Mary Lou and I are on the phone. We're talking about singing instead of addressing her daughter, who is dying of cancer. My aunt needs a break.
"Do you still sing, Bethy?"
Hearing "Bethy" always warms my heart. It's my child name.
"Yes, Aunt. I do. I sang with a choir for the last few years. I even sang a solo… Continue

GIVE YOURSELF A SPECIAL VALENTINE
If Valentine’s Day will come without the cherishing behaviors and special attention that you want from your guy consider what you can do about it. To keep from getting another bunch of supermarket flowers or an impersonal card you will need to help him. You may erroneously believe that he is wired for relationships like you are and that if he loves you he will respond sensitively to your needs. “Not so,” says Sally Watkins, psychotherapist and author of the new book, Change Your Mindset Not… Continue

The Happiness Factor
In the beginning (hmm that sounds familiar) psychology focused on understanding all emotions, not just those related to pathology. The War changed all that. Scientists needed to address post-traumatic stress disorder, understand how to treat it, in order to help veterans suffering flashbacks and depression from their experiences in battle. Psychologists developed a deep understanding of difficult emotions: anxiety, anger, depression. Little attention was paid to contentment, happiness,… Continue
