[tips] DSM: capital letters

Tipsters, does anybody know why the DSM uses capital letters when referring to a mental disorder in the text (e.g., Mood Disorders instead of mood disorders)? As this is not the case in the ICD-10, how widely are the capital letters used? I would also like to hear from international colleag

Hi Carla. I found the idea of driving while asleep (i.e., during sleepwalking) to seem a bit absurd, so I did a quick search on the web. There's an interesting post on Psychology Today from John Kline, a Yale Professor, that you might find of interest. If we can trust what he says, it apparently ha

RE: [tips] Discrimination against conservatives (again)

I think not, Rick. I look at my family as example: both parents were hard-line, old-school Democrats. My older brother worked his way (partly) through college, sees his every achievement as due to his hard work (not the fact that he's white and was raised in a middle-class household), has liv

Krugman says: "And it's not just the fact that you can choose your ideology, but not your race." I realize he is not giving much weight to this argument but he does refer to it as a fact. There were certainly people commenting on the original Times article that believe that we choose our ideol

Puzzling a bit more the 12 to 1 *could* make sense. If it is 80% democratic and most of the remaining 20% are independent/libertarian/other leaving only 7% or so as Republican then that's 80 to 7 or (drum roll. . . . ) about 11 to 1. Seriously. Back to the grind. :) Oh, and I'm one of those soc

Interesting. Though I find his math rather puzzling. I try to read with an open mind and some of what he says is interesting and thought provoking. But the article said: "In a 2007 study of both elite and non-elite universities, Dr. Gross and Dr. Simmons reported that nearly 80 percent of psych

Could it be that there just are no conservatives anymore? The Bush era was not conservative. The current "conservative" movement isn't conservative it is obstructionist. They have no agenda other than "NO!" Perhaps the "liberals" are simply people who are aware of this void. - Original Messa
