Hi

I don't usually look at it, but either Skeptic or Skeptical Inquirer (perhaps 
both?) have a kids section at the back of their magazine(s).  Perhaps their 
websites would have ideas as well.

Take care

[tips] We get mentioned

[sblack]

I've been reading Tavris and Aronson's (2007) _Mistakes were Made (but 
Not by Me)_, a book which could be called _Cognitive Dissonance for 
Dummies_ (and I don't mean that disparagingly).

Towards the end of the book (p. 227), they refer to a "young 
psychotherapist" posting on an "online discussion for psychologists 
working in the field of trauma research".  In response to the criticisms 
of his on-line colleagues, the therapist admits that he may have been 
mistaken in his enthusiasm for a new therapy, noting "I used my own 
practice as validation and allowed my thrill to overtake my critical 
thinking".

Surprisingly,  the reference given is to a post to us (that is, TIPS) 
despite the inaccurate description of our group.  The date is given as 
May 1, 2003.

Out of curiosity, I tried to retrieve this post from the archives
(http://www.mail-archive.com/tips%40acsun.frostburg.edu/)
 to see who it was who reduced his cognitive dissonance in this uncommon 
way. No luck.

So I wonder if anyone else can locate it, or perhaps remembers who it was 
who posted that message of humility gained. As an aside, I note that TIPS 
remains difficult to find. If someone tried to find us on the basis of 
Tavris and Aronson's mention, a google would take them only to a broken 
link.

Re: [tips] We get mentioned

[Christopher D. Green]

We have had a number of discussions about EMDR on this list. I remember 
one in particular in which (I think) Jean-Marc Perreault expressed an 
early enthusiasm for the method, and I (among others) uploaded a dozen 
or so journal citations showing that it is useless. I do not recall the 
year, but it was a long while ago. It could have been 2003 (I don't 
actully remember when I first signed on to this list. Is there a way to 
find out?). Might that be it?

Re: [tips] We get mentioned

[Christopher D. Green]

Ah, the discussion I had with Jean-Marc about EMDR was on Mar 10-12, 
2004, (under the subject line "Being Critical"), so it would appear to 
be too late.

I get nothing at all on the list for May 1, 2003 (but it seems that 
searching particular dates, even in the same format as is used in the 
messages  (/mm/dd)  yields nothing).

In answer to my other, ore selfish, question, the earliest post I can 
find by yours truly is Oct 6, 2002.

You can find the message from Jean-Marc at

It appeared in November 2002. I googled it.  If there is enough information, 
you can find almost anything.

Gidday, TIPsters. As many of you know, Beth Loftus has endured a boatloadof 
abuse the past decade for her research on the problems with theconcepts of 
repressed and recovered memories. That abuse reached its peaka couple of years 
ago when the University of Washington treated her withsomething close to 
contempt, a situation that prompted Beth to take up aDistinguished Professor 
position at UC Irvine. The case that started itall--the case of "Jane Doe"--is 
now a lawsuit brought forward by Jane Doeherself, probably with the support of 
some of Beth's detractors. Beth'sexperiences have chilling implications for all 
of us, not just those of uswho have interests in human memory. (As an aside, if 
you have read this far and have no idea what I'mrabbiting on about, you can 
read the excellent series of articles in theSkeptical Inquirer. The piece is 
called Who Abused Jane Doe? and starts 
athttp://www.csicop.org/si/2002-05/jane-doe.html Be sure to read thewonderful 
commentary by Carol Tavris athttp://www.csicop.org/si/2002-07/high-cost.html) 
Well, some of us have decided that it's about time we threw a party forBeth to 
thank her for her dedication. She'd be the first one to tell youthat she's too 
young for a festschrift, so this January, before the 6thmeeting of the Society 
for Applied Research in Memory & Cognition, we'regoing to have an all day 
tribute and and all night dinner party. I imaginethat some of you won't be able 
to make the trip, since it's here in NewZealand--but nonetheless, please do 
think about going to our tribute webpage and writing a message to her. So far 
we have submissions from othercolleagues, former students, people who 
"recovered" memories of abuse andlater recanted, and families torn apart by 
false accusations, lawsuits andcriminal proceedings. The tribute page is 
athttp://www.vuw.ac.nz/psyc/sarmac/beth-loftus/tribute.phpWe'll collect them 
into a book and give it to Beth in January. Thanks. Maryanne GarryVictoria

I recall that you actually signed on twice. The first time you left in a 
huff (which is a great way to travel), complaining about the high volume 
of mail. You later saw the error of your ways, and returned to the fold.

Re: [tips] teaching critical thinking to adolescents

[Jim Clark]

Hi

With respect to Skeptic, each issue includes a Junior Skeptic section at the 
end.  The issue I am looking at now has short bios of great American skeptics 
(written largely by two Canadian brothers, of course): Ben Franklin, Houdini, 
Mark Twain, and Johnny Carson.  The back cover states that there is a special 
area of the skeptic.com website now devoted to Junior Skeptic, and that they 
will be adding material for parents, students, teachers, and researchers.  And 
that their first Junior Skeptic books have gone to press.  There is also a 
Facebook page.  Here's the link to Junior Skeptic site

http://www.skeptic.com/junior_skeptic/

So perhaps something to build on or at least include?

Re: [tips] Interesting podcast/transcript - DSM

[Joan Warmbold]

Nancy, I think eliminating that topic is an excellent idea and will 
proceed to do so also EXCEPT to encourage skepticism on that entire topic.
 To me, covering abnormal pyschology in an introductory course is a
classic example of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."  I've always
been somewhat baffled at the significant number of psychology instructors
who like to give their students exercises on identifying disorders.  Come
one--experts make errors there and it's a very subjective proposition. 
Why would we want to be encouraging our relatively novice students to be
diagnosing disorders when we all also complain about their lack of
critical thinking?  I mean, to me that's asking for students to begin
seeing mental disorders all around them--in themselves and their family
and friends.

[Joan Warmbold]

Amazing anecdote Annette and thanks so much.  That series was so far ahead
of its time but to learn that the writes were aware of how we can create
false memories is quite amazing!  BTW, I highly recommend a book about the
arduous and courageous battles that Elizabeth Loftus experienced while
scientifically invalidating many "recovered memories."  The book is titled
"Do Justice and Let the Sky Fall: Elizabeth Loftus and Her Contributions
to Science, Law and Academic Freedom," by Garry and Hayne.

Re: [tips] Star Trek in intro psych (was: Dr. Seuss)

[Beth Benoit]

And let me recommend Elizabeth Loftus' own book (one of many, actually),
entitled The Myth of Repressed Memory:  False Memories and Allegations of
Sexual Abuse.  (Written with Katherine Ketcham in 1994)
I have so many passages marked in my own copy, but on p. 94 and 95, she
describes how the "lost in a shopping mall" experiment got started, and the
first time she tried it, which was actually at a party on a friend's
8-year-old child who, in five minutes, "remembered" getting lost at a
shopping mall when her dad suggested it, even though he had just insisted
that there's no way his child would fall for it.

Re: [tips] Interesting podcast/transcript - DSM

[Msylvester]

My experience is that most students may tell you that they are enrolled in 
General Psychology to find out what make people "tick". Despite the 
skepticism about the topic,I still think it is essential to cover the topic.
Although critical thinking looks at flaws in arguments,it is essential to 
compare and contrast both sides of the abnormal arguments.

[tips] "Web Therapy"; "In the Basement of the Ivory Tower"

[Christopher D. Green]

Three things (trying to conserve permitted postings):

(1) Stephen, I don't believe I ever quit TIPS in a huff, though I am 
open to evidence to the contrary. As too many TIPSters can probably 
testify, I am (unwisely) all too willing to express my "huffs" on-line. 
I sometimes signoff (from several lists to which I belong) when I am 
traveling and need to reduce the amount of mail I receive. (Before it 
was common for hotels to have internet access, I used to return home 
after just a week away to find upwards of 1500 messages to be dealt with.)


(2) Need a giggle? How about a video series that satirizes psychotherapy?
Lisa Kudrow plays a therapist of questionable judgment who "sees" her 
clients for 3-minute session over the web.
It is called /Web Therapy/ and it is freely available on (of all places) 
the web
http://lstudio.lexus.com/#vid1204


(3) David Books, columnist for the /New York Times/, just wrote a piece 
on this year's winners of the Sidney Awards ("for best examples of 
long-form journalism and thought"). Among them is this essay -- "In the 
Basement of the Ivory Tower," published in /The Atlantic/ June 2008 -- 
written by an adjunct college instructor of English composition about 
the problems he faces on a day-to-day basis and their wider implications 
for higher education in America.  
http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200806/college

Here's a snippet to whet your appetite [boldface added]:

"I wonder, sometimes, at the conclusion of a course, when I fail nine 
out of 15 students, whether the college will send me a note either (1) 
informing me of a serious bottleneck in the march toward commencement 
and demanding that I pass more students, or (2) commending me on my 
fiscal ingenuity---my high failure rate forces students to pay for 
classes two or three times over. What actually happens is that nothing 
happens. I feel no pressure from the colleges in either direction  
There seems, as is often the case in colleges, to be a huge gulf between 
academia and reality. *No one is thinking about the larger implications, 
let alone the morality, of admitting so many students to classes they 
cannot possibly pass. *The colleges and the students and I are bobbing 
up and down in a great wave of societal forces---social optimism on a 
large scale, the sense of college as both a universal right and a need, 
financial necessity on the part of the colleges and the students alike, 
the desire to maintain high academic standards while admitting marginal 
students---that have coalesced into a mini-tsunami of difficulty. No one 
has drawn up the flowchart and seen that, although more-widespread 
college admission is a bonanza for the colleges and nice for the 
students and makes the entire United States of America feel rather 
pleased with itself, there is one point of irreconcilable conflict in 
the system, and that is the moment when the adjunct instructor, who by 
the nature of his job teaches the worst students, must ink the /F/ on 
that first writing assignment."
