Brain Blogging, Twenty-Second Edition
Welcome to the twenty-second edition of Brain Blogging -- a semi-monthly blog carnival that aims to review posts "related to the brain and mind that go beyond the basic sciences into a more human and multidimensional perspective."
Spirituality and Mental Health, Part III of IV: Psychotherapy Beyond Words
Is there Energy in Psychology?I was conducting debriefing after a workplace suicide. The problems ran far deeper than a single suicide, because it turned out to be symptomatic of a drug culture that pervaded the workplace. A bald-headed man came in and said he was afraid because he had a heart condition. He was stocky, and his round head and face were very red. After about one minute of so-called energy psychology, his color was restored to normal, he was no longer afraid, and we were able to talk about more than his acute reaction to workplace stress.
How “False” Memories Appear True
A new study conducted by neuroscientists at Duke University explains how we can feel confident and certain about events that never occurred. It all depends upon the area of the brain that is processing the memory.
Conflicts of Interest in Drug Prescribing
As reimbursements continue to decrease every year, physicians must be extremely financial savvy in order to survive. Some areas of the United States can't seem to find enough doctors (think middle of the country), whereas others have a glut of doctors (think West and East Coasts). Coupled with the tough financial climate, there is the competition among practitioners who need to make a living in medicine to pay their bills and support their family. The golden days of doctors being rich off of their profession simply do not exist anymore. In order to do that, physicians must invest their income and make wise financial decisions.
