Sure You've Never Had a Threesome? Think Again.
People say the worst things come in threes, and relationships are no exceptions. If you're skeptical, think of the last time you grabbed a quick happy hour with a friend. How long did it take you before the conversation turned to that snarky coworker you don't like? Or the communication problems you have with your partner? Or perhaps the sobering reality that you still haven't forgiven Ben Affleck? Though we don't like to admit it, two people talking about another is a kind of verbal threesome.
In the therapy world, we don't exactly call it a threesome. This habit to gossip or complaining to a willing ear is known as an e...

What Donald Trump Can Teach You About the Narcissists in Your Life
It’s a pretty safe bet you’d like Donald Trump’s money. It’s likely too you wouldn’t mind Trump’s celebrity. And if you have a taste for politics, well, you wouldn’t half mind being the leading contender for the presidential nomination of a major political party. So the world of The Donald ought to be pretty sweet.
The problem is, the world of The Donald is a very different thing from the mind of The Donald. And that might be a less happy place to be.
By now, it may not come as much of a surprise that Donald Trump appears to think a great deal of Donald Trump. Unavoidably, this has...

F*ck Feelings: One Shrink’s Practical Advice for Managing All Life’s Impossible Problems
The gimmick is clever: the “f-word” combined with a counterintuitive premise that we don’t need to care about our emotions. After all, haven’t we been indoctrinated with the primacy of our feelings? The title alone is profanity plus blasphemy — and consequently piqued my interest.
Written by psychiatrist Michael Bennett and his comedy-writer daughter, Sarah Bennett, F*ck Feelings: One Shrink’s Practical Advice for Managing All Life’s Impossible Problems uses no coy asterisks inside; chapters put the profanity right out there with titles like “f. self-improvement,” “f. self-esteem,” “f. fairn...

In addition, many learning experiences were uncovered for the program faculty, determining how best to integrate behavioral services in a busy faculty family medicine practice. In this lecture, we will review some of these challenges. We will also discuss the benefits of integrating behavioral health consultants into pri...

Book Review: Working with Parents of Anxious Children
As a therapist working in an inpatient facility, I see many young clients with anxiety. I probably see it more often than any other diagnosis. In fact, according to the Child Mind Institute, about 31.9 percent of children suffer from anxiety disorders, with about 8.3 percent severely impaired by the symptoms. To make matters worse, parents do not always recognize what their children are going through. A whopping 80 percent of children suffer from a diagnosable anxiety disorder that is not being treated.
I know firsthand how hard it can be to explain to parents that their child’s oppositional, defiant, or moody behavi...

Teens and depression: What parents need to know about treatment
Depression is a treatable condition. With treatment, teens can recover and live a full and active life. There is a continuum of depression along a spectrum of mild, moderate and severe.
