Dr. David Spiegel is an author, psychiatrist and professor at Stanford University, and one of the world's leading experts into the clinical applications of hypnosis. He has published thirteen books, over 400 scientific articles, and 170 chapters on hypnosis, stress physiology, trauma, and psychotherapy. He is also the creator of REVERI, an innovative guided self hypnosis app which has been clinically proven to reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance focus. In this lively and wide ranging conversation, we explore: — The exciting new science of clinical hypnosis and how it can be applied in the treatment of addiction and trauma — The importance of focusing on valued directions in clinical work and being a kind parent to yourself — Dr Spiegel's experiences working with Irvin Yalom and what he learned from him — The neural mechanisms that explain why clinical hypnosis works, including dissociation, cognitive flexibility, and absorption — The extent to which we can view hypnosis as a form of “internal exposure therapy”. And more. I used Dr Spiegel's REVERI app to help with sleep earlier this week and found myself out like a light within a few minutes, so I'd highly recommend giving it a try.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)At DCA, we share a vision that couples would have the ability to rearrange and restructure their relationships and their families in a way that leads to wholeness and happiness. Divorce is often seen as an end—an ending to a marriage, an ending to a chapter of life. But what if it didn't have to be a painful, adversarial process? What if divorce could be approached with intention, healing, and collaboration, with the goal of not just separating, but rebuilding lives in a healthy, sustainable way?In today's episode, we explore the idea of restorative divorce—an approach that focuses on healing, mutual respect, and long-term well-being for both partners. We'll dive into how this process works, how it differs from adversarial divorce, and why we believe it's a better way forward.We wrestle with the concept that divorce creates a broken home, discuss the recent addition of CAPRD (Child Affected by Parental Relationship Disorder) to the DSM IV, and outline the six elements of a restorative divorce process. As opposed to traditional divorce that focuses on winning, a restorative divorce process is an alternative that can reduce harm, encourage positive outcomes, and support healthier post-divorce relationships for everyone involved.

Episode 175: Alcohol Use Disorder Basics   Future Dr. Sangha explains the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and fundamentals of the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD). Dr. Arreaza offers insights about the human aspect of the treatment of AUD.    Written by Darshpreet Sangha, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.What is Alcohol Use Disorder?AUD is characterized as the inability to stop or control alcohol use despite adverse physical, social and occupational consequences. According to DSM-5, it is a pattern of alcohol use that, over 12 months, results in at least two of the following symptoms, indicating clinically substantial impairment or distress: Alcohol is frequently used in higher quantities or for longer periods than planned.There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful attempt to reduce or manage alcohol use.Activities that are required to get alcohol, consume alcohol, or recuperate from its effects take up a lot of time.A strong need or desire to consume alcohol—a craving.A pattern of drinking alcohol that prevents one from carrying out important responsibilities at work, school, or home.Sustained alcohol consumption despite ongoing or recurring interpersonal or social issues brought on by or made worse by alcohol's effects.Alcohol usage results in the reduction or cessation of important social, professional, or leisure activities.Frequent consumption of alcohol under risky physical circumstances.Continuing to drink even when one is aware of a chronic or recurrent health or psychological issue that may have been brought on by or made worse by alcoholTolerance: requiring significantly higher alcohol intake to produce the same intended effect. Withdrawal: Characterized by the typical withdrawal symptoms or a noticing relief after taking alcohol or a closely related substance, such as benzodiazepine.How can we determine the severity of AUD? Mild: 2–3 symptomsModerate: 4–5 symptomsSevere: >/= 6 symptomsWho is at risk for AUD?Note: Ancestry offers a DNA analysis to find out about your heritage. You can also send that DNA to a third party to learn about your risks for diseases and conditions (for example, Prometheus.) Anyone can find out about their risk for alcoholism by doing a DNA test. The risk factors for AUD are: Male genderAges 18-29Native American and White ethnicitiesHaving Significant disabilityHaving other substance use disorderMood disorder (MDD, Bipolar)Personality disorder (borderline, antisocial personality)What is heavy drinking?According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), heavy alcohol use is characterized as: Males who drink > 4 drinks daily or > 14 drinks per week Females who drink > 3 drinks on any given day or > 7 drinks per weekPathophysiology of AUD.The pathogenesis of AUD is not well understood, but factors that may play a role are genetics, environmental influences, personality traits, and cognitive functioning. Also, genetic factors may decrease the risk of AUD, i.e., the flushing reaction, seen in individuals who are homozygous for the gene that encodes for aldehyde dehydrogenase, which breaks down acetaldehyde. Who should be screened?A person with AUD may not be easy to diagnose in a simple office visit, but some clues may point you in that direction. First of all, patients with AUD may present to you during their sober state, that´s why ALL adults (including pregnant patients) must be screened for AUD in primary care )Grade B recommendation). The frequency has not been determined but as a general rule, at least in Clinica Sierra Vista, we screen once a year. The USPSTF has concluded that there is insufficient evidence to recommend screening adolescents between 12-17 years old. What are the clinical manifestations of AUD?Some symptoms may be subtle, including sleep disturbance, GERD, HTN, but some may be obvious, such as signs of advanced liver disease (ascites, jaundice, bleeding disorders, etc.)If you draw routine labs, you may find abnormal LFTs (AST:ALT ratio >2:1), macrocytic anemia (MCV >100 fL), and elevated Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). All these findings are highly suggestive of AUD. Patients with AUD may present in either an intoxication or withdrawal state. Signs and symptoms of acute intoxication may include “slurred speech, nystagmus, disinhibited behavior, incoordination, unsteady gait, hypotension, tachycardia, memory impairment, stupor, or coma.” Signs and symptoms of withdrawal range from tremulousness to hallucinations, seizures, and death. They are seen between 4 and 72 hours after the last drink, peaking at 48 hours, and can last up to 5 days. Alcohol withdrawal is one of the few fatal withdrawal syndromes that we know in medicine, and the symptoms can be assessed using a CIWA assessment. Treatment of AUD.There are factors to consider before starting treatment: Evaluating the severity of AUD Establishing clear treatment goals is associated with better treatment outcomesAssessing readiness to change: It can be done by motivational interviewing and using the stages of change model, which are, Pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and relapse.Discussing treatment of withdrawal.Treatment may be done as outpatient or it may require hospitalization. Dr. Beare sent an email with this information: “The approach to treating patients with AUD can be broken into two parts - the first is withdrawal management and the second is the long-term maintenance part. You MUST have a good plan for withdrawal treatment as it can be fatal if it's not addressed properly.” “Patients with any history of seizures due to withdrawal or a history of delirium tremens need inpatient management. If their withdrawal symptoms are typically mild (agitation, tremors, sleeplessness, anxiety) then outpatient management may be appropriate, typically with a long-acting benzodiazepine such as Librium or Ativan.”According to Dr. Beare, “the human aspect isa key element in treating alcohol use disorder. These patients arrive with tremendous amounts of suffering, shame, guilt, and fear. The relationship between the patient and provider needs to be built with compassion and understanding that this disease is horrible from the patient's perspective and using an algorithmic and calculated approach can cause significant harm to the rapport-building process, leading to lower success rates.”Treatment requires a lot of motivation and willpower. Hopefully, we can use some tools to assist our patients to be successful.-For mild disorder, Psychosocial interventions like motivational interviewing and mutual help groups like AA meetings may be enough to help our patient quit drinking.-For moderate or severe disorder: 1st line treatment is Meditation and structured, evidence-based psychosocial interventions (CBT, 12-step facilitation); which leads to better outcomesFor patients who lack motivation, motivational interviewing can be a useful initial interventionFor motivated patients: medical management, combined behavioral intervention, or a combination of both can be utilizedFor patients with limited cognitive abilities, 12-step facilitation, or contingency management can be helpful For patients who have an involved partner: Behavioral couples therapy can be utilizedMedications for AUD.The first-line pharmacological treatment is Naltrexone. It is given as a daily single dose and can be started while the patient is still actively drinking. There is a monthly dose of long-acting injectable naltrexone as well. Naltrexone is contraindicated in individuals taking opioids, and patients with acute hepatitis or hepatic failure. Alternative 1st line treatment is Acamprosate which can be used in people with contraindications to Naltrexone.AUD is a chronic problem and requires a close follow-up to evaluate response to treatment and complications. Medications need to be used along with psychotherapy and support, and medications may need to be changed or adjusted depending on the patient. It is an individualized therapy that requires full engagement of the doctor, the patient, and their families or social support. In conclusion, I would just like to add that, be compassionate because AUD is not a choice. AUD is a chronic problem like diabetes and HTN and may require a long road to recovery. Treatment includes psychotherapy, medications, and regular follow-up.Thank you for listening!Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Der Begriff Dissoziation beschreibt laut Definition des DSM-IV die Unterbrechung der normalerweise integrativen Funktionen des Bewusstseins, des Gedächtnisses, der Identität oder der Wahrnehmung der Umwelt. Dissoziation im psychiatrischen und/oder psychotherapeutischen Sinne kann als ein Defekt der mentalen Integration verstanden werden, bei der eine oder mehrere Bereiche mentaler Prozesse vom Bewusstsein getrennt werden und unabhängig voneinander ablaufen (Abspaltung von Bewusstsein). Demgegenüber umfasst Konversion somatische, also sensorische und motorische Phänomene. Der französische Psychiater Pierre Janet verwendete als erster den Begriff Dissoziation, um psychische Prozesse zu beschreiben, die mit einem Auseinanderdriften und sich Trennen von Bewusstseinsinhalten einhergehen. (Stangl, 2024). Verwendete Literatur Stangl, W. (2024, 19. April). Dissoziation. Online Lexikon für Psychologie & Pädagogik. https://lexikon.stangl.eu/872/dissoziation. Merkmale der Dissoziation: Verlust der Erinnerung an bestimmte Ereignisse oder Zeiträume. Gefühl, als ob man außerhalb des eigenen Körpers steht oder die Umgebung unrealistisch erscheint. Wahrnehmung der eigenen Handlungen oder Gedanken als fremdartig oder nicht kontrolliert. Empfindung von Taubheit oder einem Gefühl der Entfremdung von den eigenen Emotionen. Abspaltung oder Fragmentierung des Selbst, möglicherweise mit dem Auftreten unterschiedlicher Persönlichkeitszustände. Schwierigkeiten, Ereignisse oder Erfahrungen als zusammenhängend und real zu erleben. Neigung zur Tagträumerei oder zum Abschweifen der Gedanken, um sich von unangenehmen Realitäten zu distanzieren. Häufige Konzentrationsschwierigkeiten oder Gedächtnislücken. Wiederholte Phasen der Desorientierung oder Desrealisation, bei denen die Umgebung als unwirklich erscheint. Gefühl, als ob die Zeit entweder beschleunigt oder verlangsamt wird, was zu einem verzerrten Zeitgefühl führt.

Multicultural competence in psychiatry is more than just a buzzword; it is a crucial aspect of patient care that acknowledges the diverse tapestry of human experiences. On this episode of The Menninger Clinic's Mind Dive Podcast, Dr. Francis Lu shares an enlightening perspective on the intricacies of cultural considerations in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment as well as the five-part framework of Cultural Formulation from the DSM-IV and its refined application in the DSM-V, which now includes social determinants of mental health and the concept of 'structural competency'. The discussion isn't just theoretical; Dr. Lu's experiences allow for a practical look into the challenges and advancements in weaving these critical elements into the fabric of psychiatric care.  Dr. Lu, often considered a pioneer in cultural psychiatry, speaks with hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland about his 36-year journey through the nexus of mental health care, community engagement, and spirituality, offering a treasure trove of insights into culturally competent care. The conversation covers the evolution of psychiatric training and the robust legacy Dr. Lu leaves behind, impacting both the care of patients and the education of mental health professionals. Dr. Lu's pioneering work in establishing ethnically focused inpatient psychiatric programs is a testament to the need for sensitivity towards a patient's cultural background. His initiatives at San Francisco General Hospital not only enhanced patient care but also set a new standard for inclusivity within psychiatric practice. The in-depth look of the psychiatric profession over the last four decades allows for a more personal discussion for Dr. Lu and our hosts about their personal journeys andcareers in mental health. Sharing stories and experiences about the lesser-known toll of being mental health clinicians and navigating a profession that is as diverse as the patients. Tune into Mind Dive for a comprehensive understanding of cultural psychiatry and the continuous quest to improve mental health care for all communities. Follow The Menninger Clinic on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date on new Mind Dive episodes.

Dr. Alycia Halladay joins we to discuss the topic of Profound Autism. If you're not familiar with Alycia's work, she is the Chief Science Officer for The Autism Science Foundation, and host of the excellent show, The ASF Weekly Science Podcast.  In this episode, we discuss the changes in Autism diagnosis from the DSM IV to V, the Lancet Commission paper on Profound Autism, why there is a need for this distinction in the Autism spectrum, the conditions under which an individual would be classified as having Profound Autism, the estimated proportion of Autistics who have Profound Autism, the differences in the distribution of sex-based differences in Profound and Non-profound populations, person vs. identity-first language, the importance of reducing stigma for everyone with Autism, criticisms of the proposal of this category, and responses to those criticisms. Even though we packed a lot into this interview, there is way more to this conversation than we had time for, so I'd like to revisit this again sometime in the future. In the meantime, if  you're in the New England area, consider attending The Profound Autism Summit, which is taking place on April 5th, 2024 in Burlington, Massachusetts. Alycia will be speaking at that event, and will go into even more detail than we did in this podcast. It's a multi track conference that, according to the PAS site, aims to "bring together leaders from the areas of research, medicine, treatment, advocacy, education, and human services to discuss the needs of those with Profound Autism across disciplines and throughout the lifespan." Even though the Profound Autism Summit features talks from notable Behavior Analysts like Drs. Greg Hanley, Shanna Bahry, Peter Gerhardt, Jessica Slaton and others, it's not just an ABA conference. There will be speakers and panelists representing advocacy groups, emergency services personnel, service providers, and more (check out the entire speakers roster here).  The PAS is right around the corner and is almost sold out, so if you're on the fence and are looking for some motivation, here it is (register your spot here!). If you can't make it, consider signing up for their mailing list, as I believe they'll be making the talks available  asynchronously some time down the road.  Did you know that if you use Apple Podcasts as your player, you can get transcripts to this show?

Being sad or feeling hopeless is a normal part of human existence appearing and disappearing and reappearing with the ebbs and flows of life. But when symptoms of a depressive episode last for more than two weeks, and begin to get in the way of one's day-to-day life, that's when a person meets the criteria for Major Depressive Disorder, or MDD, which is one type of the DSM-IV's depressive diagnoses and one of many different mood disorders. The prevalence of MDD in Canada is higher than other mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and anxiety disorders (discussed in our next episode!) like generalized anxiety disorder and social phobia. Because of its prevalence, many areas of treatment are available to those who are struggling with clinical depression, including talk therapy, changing diet and exercise, medication, and brain stimulation therapies.This episode's guest, Tammy, shares with us that she began experiencing symptoms of MDD when she was in grade school. While depressive disorders tend to begin later in life and global data suggests that the median age for the onset of symptoms is 26 years old, a study from the United States showed that depression can be diagnosed as young as three years of age. Interestingly, a study from Korea showed that the age at which a person experiences their first major depressive episode may be correlated to a variety of different clinical indicators, like the frequency in which MDD episodes recur, that play a key role in one's clinical prognosis of MDD and its outcomes. In this episode, we learn about a few of Tammy's family members, one of whom also struggles with their mental health. Given the hereditary, or genetic, predisposition to mental disorders, it is common for some mental illnesses, like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and depression, to run in the family. But when discussing the “nature” side of things, we mustn't forget about the “nurture”. We've also seen that the environmental factors like one's family structure, exposure to traumatic events, and much more can increase rates of mental health problems. Fast FactsGlobally, depression is estimated to occur among 1.1% of adolescents aged 10 to14 years, and 2.8% of 15- to 19-year-olds. More than a quarter of a million Canadian youth, representing 6.5% of people between the ages of 15 and 24, experience major depression each year.Depression can go unnoticed in children. Some may not talk about their helpless and hopeless thoughts and may not appear sad. Depression might also cause a child to make trouble or act unmotivated causing others to incorrectly label the child as a troublemaker or lazy.In Canada, once depression is recognized, intervention and treatment can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, which allows them to get back to their regular activities.Learn More about This Episode's Cool ResearchIn this episode, we spoke to Dr. Valerie Taylor, Head of Psychiatry at the University of Calgary, and the namesake for the Taylor Lab. Their main area of research is how the gut influences brain health, known in the literature as the gut-brain barrier. Scientists have already shown a potential for the influence of gut microbiota in diseases like asthma and type I and type II diabetes, to name a few. When it comes to the bidirectional relationship between the brain, gut and microbiome there is a growing amount of evidence that this is a valuable area of research that may have implications on new therapeutic avenues. For example, studies aiming to elucidate the relationship between depression and the microbiome have shown a link between MDD and an imbalance of the gut microbiota's bacterial composition. Some of these studies even reported seeing modest improvements in depressive symptoms following interventions targeting the gut microbiome. Dr. Taylor and her team are interested in whether or not microbiomes from the gut of healthy people can be used as a treatment for those suffering with ailments, and in their case specifically, people struggling with treatment-resistant MDD. In order to get those healthy microbiomes transferred, the Taylor Lab is experimenting with Fecal Matter Transplant, or FMT for short. For their research, the process involves retrieving fecal samples from healthy screened donors, converting those samples into capsules (also known as “poop pills”),and orally administering the capsules to patients. There is a fair amount of evidence to back up the efficacy of FMT in treating disease, in fact, the practice has been reported in literature dating 2,000 years ago. The efficacy of FMT for patients with treatment-resistant MDD, however, continues to be a question the Taylor Lab is working hard to answer. Through this work, Dr. Taylor remains hopeful. In an interview with Mike Fisher for the University of Calgary, Dr. Taylor discusses her team's research. “...[T]he jury is still out on whether we can actually leverage what seems to be a gut-brain connection into the next generation of therapies. There is reason to be excited and to pursue this work and that's what fuels us — the possibility. [...] There has been research that shows if you take bacteria from depressed mice and put it into non-depressed mice, they become depressed. Microbiota are not benign, and we want to ensure people are aware of that. [...] Patients are desperate for new treatments, sometimes the current treatments don't work for everyone or have side effects that are not tolerable. So, people are looking for anything that will help them.”SupportIf you're struggling with your mental health, you're not alone.If you are in immediate danger of harming yourself or others, call 9-1-1, or head to your nearest emergency room.

Antisocial personality disorder is a mental condition in which a person has a lasting pattern of manipulating, exploiting or violating the rights of others without any remorse and it is linked to sociopathy. While only 3% of men and 1% of women suffer from this disorder in the US according to PsychologyToday, it is important for us to discuss it.

Dr. Lois Choi-Kain, Director of the Gunderson Personality Disorders Institute at McLean Hospital and Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, introduces us to borderline personality disorder (BPD). We discuss the prevalence, naturalistic course, and treatments for BPD. We explore BPD using the “Good Psychiatric Management” (GPM) model, which is intended to empower clinicians of all disciplines to manage patients with BPD effectively. We discuss the principles of GPM and walk through some examples of how it might be used in the clinical setting.  Book: Applications of Good Psychiatric Management for Borderline Personality Disorder: A Practical Guide (Check your academic library!)  References:  (11:30) Grant BF, Chou SP, Goldstein RB, et al.

Dr Allen Frances was chair of the task force writing the DSM-IV, but subsequently became an outspoken critic of the rapid expansion of mental health diagnoses in DSM-5, and what he sees as the over medicalisation of behaviours that fall into the normal range of human life. Dr Frances offers a US perspective on issues such as treating ADHD and Autism, the pros and cons of early diagnosis, the appropriate role of drugs in mental health, and strategies to bring public mental health care to the greatest numbers of people.

Geestelijke gezondheid is een veelbesproken onderwerp op het moment, reikend van de zorgen over de gevolgen van lockdown op het mentale welzijn, de toenemende zichtbaarheid van neurodivergentie en de overvraagde psychologische zorg. Anders dan bij lichamelijke gezondheid wordt mentale gezondheid vaak gezien als subjectief en is daarom de gemeenschappelijke norm van wat “gezond” is extra dwingend, maar ook grotendeels impliciet. De grootste authoriteit op het gebied van geestelijke gezondheid is de Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders gemaakt door de American Psychological Association, die ook in Nederland is de geestelijke gezondheidszorg wordt gebruikt. Als alternatief is er ook nog de International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) van de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie. Er is echter veel kritiek op deze beide handleidingen, zowel van buiten de medische zorg als binnenuit. Een voorbeeld is dat Alles Frances, nota bene een schrijver van de DSM-IV, zegt dat vrijwel normaal gedrag steeds meer een label opgeplakt krijgen en vaker met medicijnen wordt behandeld. Prof. dr. Jim van Os, psychiater, zegt: “We zijn een beetje doorgeslagen in osn enthousiasme om iemand een label te geven zodra die zich anders gedraagd. Dit heeft een keerzijde. Door die sticker op iemand te plakken, duw je iemand in een hokje (…) - het bepaalt hoe de samenleving tegen je aankijkt en je wordt opeens in de richting van een specifieke behandeling geduwd omdat die in de behandelrichtlijn van dat specifieke hokje staat.” Hij zegt ook: “Je kunt zo'n diagnose niet objectief vaststellen in het lijf van iemand. Het is niet zoals een gebroken arm die je op een röntgenfoto kunt zien.” Naast de kritiek op specifieke authoriteit is er ook brede kritiek op het bestellen van gezonde geesten en ongezonden geesten, bijvoorbeeld invloedrijk verwoord door Michel Foucault in boeken als Folie et Déraison: Histoire de la folie à l'âge classique. Foucault stelt dat waar voor de Renaissance waanzin werd gezien als een apart soort inzich in de werkelijkheid, vaak ingegeven door goddelijke of bovennatuurlijke krachten, werd waanzin daarna steeds meer gezien als een ziekte, iets om mensen voor te behoeden. Hierdoor werden geesteszieken apart gehouden, onderdrukt en behandeld. Deze kritiek bestaat nog steeds: geestesziekte kan leiden tot gedwongen behandelingen, opname en stereotypering, terwijl mensen die als geestesziek worden bestempeld niet serieus worden genomen in hun kritiek op behandelingen. Waar we in aflevering zes over het gezonde lichaam bespraken hoe cultuur en samenleving gezondheid van het lijf vormen en de grens tussen ziek, gezond en wenselijk bepalen, willen we in deze aflevering onderzoeken hoe dit gebeurt met de gezonde geest. De centrale vraag is: wie bepaalt wie geestelijk gezond is? Te gast is Heleen, die tijdens haar studie Health Humanities onder andere onderzoek deed naar “normality” en “abnormality”. Nu werkt ze in het gezondheidsveld.

No episódio 248 do PQU Podcast falamos sobre o Eixo IV do DSM-III – Problemas psicossociais e ambientais, no qual se deveria estimar a quanto estresse o paciente estava submetido. Ele continha dois itens: uma lista dos eventos estressantes que pudessem ter contribuído para o desenvolvimento ou exacerbação do episódio atual do transtorno e uma classificação do nível de estresse desses eventos sobre o indivíduo. Ambos foram expandidos e refinados no DSM-III-R e no DSM-IV. Hoje o eixo IV ficou na história, não mais faz parte da nova edição do DSM. Cremos que, com isso, algo se perdeu, mas esperamos que seja resgatado de alguma forma na sua prática clínica, pois levar em conta eventos de vida aumenta seu entendimento da situação do paciente. Não deixe de escutar.

Gretchen LeFever Watson, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist whose research and intervention projects have received international scholarly and media attention, including appearances on TV and radio programs. Dr. Watson was among the first to document drug overtreatment for ADHD in the U.S. and to demonstrate that disruptive conduct can be successfully reduced through school wide behavioral interventions. In her paper, she chronicles the personal and professional attacks she experienced as a result of challenging industry interests. This serves as a testament to the potential hindrance of pioneering research and the adverse effects it can have.MUST READ: Shooting the Messenger: The Case of ADHD | SpringerLinkDr Gretchen WatsonIf you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

According to the latest data from the CDC, one in 36 children is diagnosed with autism in the United States each day. Worldwide, one in 100 is diagnosed. In the late 90s, the numbers were more around one in 1,000, and people weren't quite sure what autism was. To put it simply, autism is a different way of thinking and viewing the world. We've encountered some amazing people with autism throughout the years and many have incredible strengths. Here, we dive into the technical definition of autism as stated in the DSM-V. Today's definition of autism differs from what was originally listed in the DSM-IV. It's currently outlined as one big spectrum with three levels of severity. We discuss each level and the criteria for a diagnosis, including behavioral patterns and aspects, and how to classify autism in terms of behavioral excesses and behavioral deficits. Our conversation also includes discussion about repetitive behavior and how the approach to treatment and goal setting is as unique as the individual client.What's Inside:An explanation of the three levels of autism according to the DSM-V.How to classify autism based on behavioral excesses and deficits.How treatment plans and goals help autistic clients become their best.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramHowToABA.com/shopEpisode 093: Thriving with Autism – ABA Success Story!

Co to jest osobowość borderline (Borderline Personality Disorder, skrót BPD, z ang. pograniczny)? Czy możemy te osoby określić jako chwiejne emocjonalnie? Jakie czynniki mogą wywołać pojawienie się tego zaburzenia? Czy osób z takim zaburzeniem jest dużo? W jakim wieku? Jak się je diagnozuje? Cechy osobowości chwiejnej emocjonalnie / borderline według najpopularniejszych klasyfikacji psychiatrycznych: ICD-10 i DSM-IV. Czy są jeszcze inne klasyfikacje? Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowiada nasz gość, a jest nim dr Paweł Brudkiewicz – specjalista psychiatra, psychoterapeuta, lekarz z kilkunastoletnim doświadczeniem zawodowym (w tym w zakresie medycyny somatycznej).

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.27.534351v1?rss=1 Authors: Savage, H. S., Mulders, P. C. R., van Eijndhoven, P. F. P., van Oort, J., Tendolkar, I., Vrijsen, J. N., Beckmann, C. F., Marquand, A. F. Abstract: In this study we dissect the heterogeneity that underlies traditional group-level analyses, and determine how individualised patterns of predicted activation relate to age, sex, and variations in acquisition parameters and task design choices. To this end we take advantage of six large open-access/shared datasets and collate a large representative sample of over 7500 participants from which we build a normative of task-evoked activation during a widely used emotional reactivity task, the Emotional Face Matching Task. This enables us to bind heterogeneous datasets to a common reference model and enables meaningful comparisons between them. We then apply this model to the naturalistic and clinically realistic MIND-Set cohort, which is a heterogeneous and highly comorbid sample containing individuals with one or more current diagnosis (affective and anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). This enables us to determine whether, and if so how, participants with mental illness and/or neurodivergence differ from the reference cohort, both at the group level and at the level of the individual and in terms of cross-diagnostic symptom domains in addition to diagnosis. We show that patients have, on average, a higher frequency of extreme deviations, and have unique spatial distributions depending on the DSM-IV diagnosis and the number of co-occurring diagnoses when models are constructed using the face greater than shapes task contrast. Models built using the face greater than baseline task contrast, have, by comparison, greater predictive value for individuals' functioning across four transdiagnostic domains. We demonstrate the application of the normative modelling framework to task-based functional neuroimaging data, discuss its potential to further our understanding of individual differences in brain function within reference populations, and further validate the clinical relevance of these models.

Today my guest is the esteemed Dr. David Spiegel. I'm going to read you his bio from the Standford University of Medicine website, but as a side note, this is NOT the David Spiegel from the Amber Heard trial.   Dr Spiegel is a Willson Professor and Associate Chair of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences, Director of the Center on Stress and Health, and Medical Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Spiegel has more than 40 years of clinical and research experience studying psycho-oncology, stress and health, pain control, psychoneuroendocrinology, sleep, hypnosis, and conducting randomized clinical trials involving psychotherapy for cancer patients. He has published thirteen books, 480 scientific journal articles, and 170 book chapters on hypnosis, psychosocial oncology, stress physiology, trauma, and psychotherapy. He was a member of the work groups on stressor and trauma-related disorders for the DSM-IV and DSM-5 editions of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.    In my estimation, Dr Spiegel is largely responsible for legitimizing modern hypnosis and making it widely accessible through the Reveri app. He was recently on The Huberman Lab podcast where they went deep into the neuroscience and brain mechanics of hypnosis, so I highly recommend you check that out too, but today, I directed him to speak primarily on the use of hypnosis to treat addiction, trauma, and chronic pain management for those who don't want to become dependent on drugs.   The topics we cover include: What is hypnosis Guided Meditation vs Hypnosis Hypnosis for healing shame based self identity Why Guilt is often the response to sexual abuse and trauma How to use hypnosis to break self-sabotaging behaviors We talk about Reveri - Low cost app for learning self-hypnosis   ….and much more.   It was such an honor to have him on, I learned so much from him and I know you will too!   So without further delay, please enjoy this episode, with Dr. David Spiegel   Connect with Dr David Spiegel!

“Personality Disorder: Personality—the fundamental characteristics of a person that influence thoughts and behaviors across situations and time—may be considered disordered if judged to be abnormally rigid and maladaptive. Although treated separately by some, the commonly used categorical schemes include them as mental disorders, albeit on a separate axis II in the case of the DSM-IV. A number of different personality disorders are listed, including those sometimes classed as eccentric, such as paranoid, schizoid and schizotypal personality disorders; types that have described as dramatic or emotional, such as antisocial, borderline, histrionic or narcissistic personality disorders; and those sometimes classed as fear-related, such as anxious-avoidant, dependent, or obsessive–compulsive personality disorders. Personality disorders, in general, are defined as emerging in childhood, or at least by adolescence or early adulthood. The ICD also has a category for enduring personality change after a catastrophic experience or psychiatric illness. If an inability to sufficiently adjust to life circumstances begins within three months of a particular event or situation, and ends within six months after the stressor stops or is eliminated, it may instead be classed as an adjustment disorder. There is an emerging consensus that personality disorders, similar to personality traits in general, incorporate a mixture of acute dysfunctional behaviors that may resolve in short periods, and maladaptive temperamental traits that are more enduring.[42] Furthermore, there are also non-categorical schemes that rate all individuals via a profile of different dimensions of personality without a symptom-based cutoff from normal personality variation, for example through schemes based on dimensional models.[43]” I saw people getting arrested, shoved into police vehicles, riding in law enforcement vehicles, raided, police raids, the batter ram raids of drug houses and brothels, indictments, prosecutions, thrown in prison, law enforcement gunning folks down, standoffs between criminals and law enforcement, sex scandals (some included pulpiteers), sex work scandals (some included pulpiteers),and police brutality. Disability hate crimes in words and actions, LGBTQIA+ hate crimes in words and actions, elderly hate crimes in words and actions, children hate crimes in words and actions, female (women and girls) hate crimes in words and actions, BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) hate crimes in words and actions, those in poverty hate crimes in words and actions, and abuse survivor hate crimes in words and actions do exist in organized crime. Frenemies exist in organized crime just like Pilate and Herod, and Pharisees and Sadducees. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

”Partialism is sexual fetish with an exclusive focus on a specific part of the body other than genitals.[1][2][3] Partialism is categorized as a fetishistic disorder in the DSM-5 of the American Psychiatric Association only if it causes significant psychosocial distress for the person or has detrimental effects on important areas of their life. In the DSM-IV, it was considered a separate paraphilia (not otherwise specified), but was merged into fetishistic disorder by the DSM-5.[1] Individuals who exhibit partialism sometimes describe the anatomy of interest to them as having equal or greater erotic attraction for them as do the genitals.[4]” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

During this, the longest summer in the history of the world, we await the denouement of this great American experiment in Democracy. Also, on this episode, we answer the VERY impordant question, who the eff shot JR, anyway? JR Ewing, by-the-by, suffered from “Narcissistic Personality Disorder,” an incurable disease articulated in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Our host has it on good authority that the DSM IV was secretly authored by Kelly Ann Conway's soon to be former x- husband, George Conway. George also diagnosed Trumpie with the same disease, years ago! Can you believe it?  Also covered in this episode, Trumpie's abnormal chode and “yeti pubes,” per the author of that incredible piece of American literature, “Full Disclosure,” Stormy Daniels. And, FUPA's and gunts. (we blame @JoJoFromJerz for the FUPA reference!) On this episode, Midge celebrates (and we poke) her fellow deplorables: Jim Jordan, Madison Cawthorn, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell,  Donald J. Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, MAGA's (in general), GOP, Kevin McCarthy,  THORN IN THE USA is brought to you by a group of bleeding-heart liberal scoundrels who can see that the former king is totally naked, but cannot understand why people like Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and house minority leader Kevin McCarthy continue to INSIST he's is fully clothed and decent.

Welcome to PsychEd, the psychiatry podcast for medical learners, by medical learners. In this episode, we present a broad overview of antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy with our guest expert - Dr. Donald Lynam. Dr. Lynam is a clinical psychologist by training, and professor at Purdue university, where he heads the Purdue's Developmental Psychopathology, Psychopathy and Personality Lab. While there may be some disagreement in the field, Dr. Lynam and I discuss how ASPD and psychopathy are two diagnostic constructs that are attempting to outline the same psychopathology, with the main difference being the degree of severity - for this reason, we use the terms antisocial and psychopathic interchangeably.    While not necessary, it may be of benefit for listeners to familiarize themselves with the DSM-V criteria for antisocial personality disorder, the psychopathy checklist (PCL), as well as the 5-factor model of personality. References for each are listed below in the references section, however, for a brief overview, one could do a quick google image search for each term (Wikipedia also has a succinct overview of the psychopathy checklist).   The learning objectives for this episode are as follows:   Develop a basic understanding of what is meant by antisocial personality and psychopathy Be aware of some of the classic traits and characteristics of antisocial/psychopathic personalities, and the general functions of these behaviors  Describe the theoretical basis for the development of antisocial personalities    Guest Expert: Dr. Donald Lynam - Clinical psychologist, Investigator at Purdue University, Indiana Produced and hosted by: Dr. Chase Thompson (PGY5 in Psychiatry) Episode guidance and feedback: Dr. Gaurav Sharma (PGY4 in Psychiatry)   Interview Content:   0:50 - Learning objectives 1:40 - Dr. Lynam discusses his path to his current research interests 3:40 - Defining the terms antisocial personality disorder, sociopathy, psychopathy 8:30 - Discussing the possibility of antisocial behaviors without an antisocial personality 12:07 - Laying out the core features of antisocial individuals  18:20 - Antisocial personality from the perspective of the Big 5 personality model 22:00 - Discussion of the high-functioning psychopathy  25:06 - Prevalence of psychopathy 30:10 - Factors relevant to the development of psychopathy 39:30 - Prognosis and clinical trajectory  44:30 - Comorbid psychopathology  46:30 - Functions of antagonism or antisocial behaviours  49:30 - Treatment    References   American Psychiatric Association.

Welcome back to another episode of The Light After Trauma podcast. I'm your host, Alyssa Scolari. This is a two part, well, really a two part series. This is going to be two episodes today, and it is a guest episode. It has been a while since we've had a guest episode. I know that we he had talked about me sort of reeling back on guest episodes and being much more particular with who's coming on the show, just because I know that you all are really interested and have really, really liked the solo episodes that I've done. Alyssa Scolari [00:57]: But you all also love today's guest, who is a friend of the family, friend of the podcast, it's Rebecca Christianson. Duh, would it be anyone else? We love Rebecca. She has been on this podcast to talk about grief. She's been on the podcast to talk about guilt and shame, and she's incredible. Alyssa Scolari [01:19]: Today she's on the podcast to talk about narcissism. And I know this one's going to be a really big hit for you all because narcissism is honestly a very hot term right now. It is a really hot topic. It is all over TikTok, all over social media. But before we dive right into narcissism, I just want to take a minute to let you know who Rebecca is. Alyssa Scolari [01:41]: If you are a new listener, Rebecca really started out as a mentor for me and became, honestly, one of my closest friends. She's absolutely a soulmate of mine. We were absolutely meant to know each other in this life and every other life after that. And she really is the reason why I am the therapist that I am today. Alyssa Scolari [02:05]: So Rebecca is the founder of a group practice called Rebellious Wellness Counseling in the state of New Jersey in the United States. And I will, of course, link her group practice. She works with a bunch of wonderful people. She does amazing work. She is, especially you do a lot of grief, right? Like that's like you special when I think of you, I think like you do grief, but you also do couples, right? Rebecca Christianson [02:33]: Yes. Alyssa Scolari [02:34]: Yeah. Rebecca Christianson [02:34]: Yes. Alyssa Scolari [02:35]: Rebecca does two of the hardest things that I think any therapist can do. So I will absolutely link her group practice in the show notes for today. So let's just hand it over to Rebecca. Welcome. Rebecca Christianson [02:51]: Thank you. Thanks for having me. You always say the nicest things. You are the therapist that you are because you are extremely talented and work really hard, but thank you for giving me credit for that. Alyssa Scolari [03:04]: All shucks. Thank you. Rebecca Christianson [03:05]: Yeah. So I am always honored to be on the podcast. I love, obviously, I love talking to you. I love tackling some of these topics that I think are complex topics that everybody has to handle, but don't always understand exactly how to handle it or how it affects their lives. So I'm happy to be on it. Alyssa Scolari [03:27]: Yeah, exactly, exactly. And we make a really good team, which is why I feel like tackling narcissism today is like, you and I are really, really well suited to do this together because it's a really heavy topic, right? Rebecca Christianson [03:42]: Yep. Mm-hmm [affirmative]. Alyssa Scolari [03:43]: And it's something that I think gets talked about a lot, but also often very misused and overused. And so I think here's an interesting fact for y'all, right? So the word narcissism in itself is at actually derived from the Greek mythological figure, Narcissus. And basically the story of Narcissus is that he fell in love with his own reflection. And what narcissism is at its core is really just self-absorption but pathological self absorption. Alyssa Scolari [04:21]: So that's where the name comes from. And I think when it comes to narcissism, there's one way that therapists diagnose it. But then there's an entirely different way that I think you guys can understand it and recognize it in others. And that's kind of a little bit more important. Alyssa Scolari [04:48]: So the way that therapists diagnose it is, obviously, you all have heard of the DSM. I've talked about it on this podcast before. It's like the holy grail for mental health diagnoses. It's what therapists turn to in order to diagnose somebody. And there is a personality disorder in there called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. And this is how therapists would really diagnose somebody. And really what it is it's this pattern of grandiosity. Alyssa Scolari [05:23]: They just, people, who think that they just have this huge amount of self importance. They often exaggerate their achievements and their talents. They are preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, or ideal love. They believe that they are super special and unique and that they are very high status and everyone else is below them. They require excessive admiration. They constantly need other people to be doting on them and thinking that they are just the bees knees. Alyssa Scolari [06:01]: They have an extreme sense of self entitlement, very unreasonable expectations, and they always think that they should be favored above everyone else. They exploit people, especially those who are closest to them. In other words, they try to take advantage of the people around them to meet their own needs. And they lack empathy. They cannot identify with feelings or needs of others and they often can seem very arrogant, right? Alyssa Scolari [06:33]: So that's a very brief run through of what those symptoms look like in the book that therapists use to diagnose. But it's a little bit different when we're just in our day to day life. So Rebecca, can you actually talk about, I don't know. I feel like what I just said was a very hoity-toity way of describing narcissism. Can you break this down? What does that actually look like day to day? Rebecca Christianson [07:02]: Yes, absolutely. I think that one of the things that's important to remember about narcissist is that underneath it all, it's a very, very fragile ego and that extremely, extremely fragile ego, came from somewhere, right? Oftentimes it comes from childhood trauma. Oftentimes it comes from neglect or abuse where a child doesn't get their needs met. So they have to manipulate to get their own needs met and they build this wall or protection around that very fragile ego. And no one can see the fragile ego at any cost. So they will always externally get their needs met instead of getting their needs met from within. Rebecca Christianson [07:55]: That would be... The only thing that was really healing for them is to go in and process through the things that made that ego so fragile. But they, at a very young age, protect that fragile ego at all costs. At all costs. At the cost to anyone else their needs will always come first and that the hallmark of a narcissist. Rebecca Christianson [08:14]: So I'm going to quote Shahida Arabi who wrote, Becoming the Narcissist Nightmare, because this is my favorite quote about narcissist. It says, "The first thing you must know about a narcissist is that you will never truly know anything about the narcissist." Alyssa Scolari [08:30]: Ugh. Yes, yes. That's it, case closed. End of episode. Rebecca Christianson [08:37]: Closed, there you go. You'll never really know. And I really believe that because they don't know. They've created such a false self that they don't even remember why they became a narcissist. One of the questions I get all the time is like, "Can a narcissist heal? Can they get better?" And the answer to that's, yes. Rarely do they do the work that's required to get better, but they can. But that would be going back to the childhood trauma, whatever happened that made them realize that they felt they needed to manipulate their environment to get their needs met, that they were not lovable enough to get their needs met just by being who they were. Rebecca Christianson [09:29]: And that's so painful. Usually by the time they show up in our office, that's so painful that they rarely do that. But the times that I've seen narcissists actually do that work is either they have a terminal illness, and because they have never truly been able to connect authentically with anyone, they don't have very many people who are going to take care of them. Or they've had such a traumatic loss in their life that it's shocked them to their core. And they don't want to continue to live that way. Rebecca Christianson [10:03]: So, those are the times. But I think how it would show up, you said a lot of the things, I think that when you notice somebody has the inability to empathize with you or with other people at all, like if you have a friend that's a narcissist and you tell them they have the inability to empathize, but they understand people, so they can fake empathy. They can... Alyssa Scolari [10:30]: Yes. They're typically very, very charming. Rebecca Christianson [10:34]: Mm-hmm [affirmative]. Alyssa Scolari [10:34]: But when it comes to empathy, it could look like you confide in a friend about something and or you tell a friend something, right? And if that friend goes, "Oh, well they deserved it. They deserved it. They had that coming." Right? Or it could be, this person responds in a way that's like completely ignores what you're talking about and shifts the focus onto them. "Oh, well, when I was that age, it was even harder for me. Babababa." Rebecca Christianson [11:07]: Mm-hmm [affirmative]. Alyssa Scolari [11:07]: Yeah. Rebecca Christianson [11:07]: Yep. Or they will fake empathy if they think that's going to get them something. So they'll be like, "Oh, that was a hard day at work." And like this, whatever it is, because they think that they're going to get something out of that. So sometimes they'll fake empathy to get their own need met at the end of the day. And then if that doesn't happen, they get angry. So the inability to authentically apologize, see hallmark up. You notice that somebody cannot take accountability. They will skirt accountability for something that they have done that has hurt the other person or isn't right or whatever. They cannot authentically apologize. Rebecca Christianson [11:47]: You said this before, but it will always be somebody else's fault. There will always be a reason why they cannot take accountability and authentically apologize. Also hallmark of when you notice that with someone that you're around or involved with, that's definitely a hallmark sign. And then if you confront them, they become extremely angry. Rebecca Christianson [12:11]: In fact, there's a term called Narcissistic Rage. And that's if they perceive their ego as being challenged, some people have narcissistic rage. And then you did a podcast earlier that I listened to about gaslighting. This is where gaslighting comes in. They're unable to take accountability. So they will gaslight at all costs. And it becomes, because they're usually extremely bright and charming, it can become almost impossible to pick up on the gaslighting. Rebecca Christianson [12:47]: Some people are so good at that, that your head is spinning and you don't even understand what just happened. It's not until you tell somebody outside of that interaction or relationship that they might be able to see, "I think they were gaslighting you." Because it's real, some people become really good, they become professionals at not taking accountability. Rebecca Christianson [13:14]: And the thing about, again, they're very intuitive, very perceptive, very charming, and very bright. So they will learn things about you, your Achilles heel, your soft spots, and that's where they're going to hit. So when they gaslight you, it's not going to be always about the actual thing they're not taking accountability for. They're going to gaslight you and hit where they know it hurts so that you will be blindsided, taken off guard, all these other things. So ultimately they don't have to take accountability. Rebecca Christianson [13:47]: I think those, and then you mentioned self-absorbed, always bringing the conversation back to themselves. I feel like if you're in a relationship or a friendship or a work relationship with somebody who has more than one of those characteristics, they are probably a narcissist. Alyssa Scolari [14:05]: Red flags, red flags, red flags, red flags. Yeah. And I think gaslighting is the narcissists best friend. Best friend, that is their biggest tool. And as you're kind of saying all this, I feel like now's a really good time to read the Narcissist's Prayer. So this perfectly, for the listeners out there, reflects everything that Rebecca is saying and then some. It's like, The narcissist's prayer is, and by the way I did not write this. And I actually don't know who wrote this. I tried to look it up and there's a couple different versions of it, but I don't know. It says the author is unknown when it comes to this specific version of it. Alyssa Scolari [14:50]: But the Narcissist's Prayer is, "That didn't happen. And if it did, it is not a big deal. And if it was a big deal, then it was not my fault. And if it was my fault, well, then I didn't mean it. And if I did mean it, then you deserved it. Now this conversation is over. I am done talking about it." Rebecca Christianson [15:12]: I think that says it perfectly. And so many people, here's the thing about narcissists, right? So many people, as you were saying, all of the kind of DSM-IV criteria, I think two things. I think one on a bad day, we all feel selfish, right? It's normal to have moments of time where we feel selfish, that's normal. But we feel remorse and regret when that selfishness might have been at the expense of someone else. But there's remorse, there's guilt or shame. Rebecca Christianson [15:48]: Narcissists do not feel guilt or shame for that. They are self-absorbed to a pathological point, and you said that in the beginning and I wanted to reiterate that, they're not just having a selfish day. They're not just self-absorbed about the promotion they want at work. It's a way of living for them. It's to a pathological point. Rebecca Christianson [16:11]: And I think we all have narcissist in our lives and it's hard. It's hard because when you get close to, and I know Part Two is going to be more about the relationship with the narcissist, but when you get close to putting up a boundary with a narcissist, they love bomb. And when they love bomb, it feels as if they've heard you and they understand the error of their ways. Rebecca Christianson [16:36]: They don't say that because they can't take accountability. It just feels that way. And then you're hooked again. Then you're hooked again. And these characteristics will show up again. So if you think you're in a relationship or have a friend or a work relationship where you're in, or you think they're a narcissist, and you start to point that out or you start to set different boundaries because that doesn't feel good, and they make you feel like they understand the error of their ways they want to change. But these show back up again, run, run because they're a narcissist. Alyssa Scolari [17:13]: Run far. Rebecca Christianson [17:14]: And they just love bombed you. And now you're going to be right back in the same cycle. And gaslighting is, I think, the number one way that narcissists manipulate, but they also use silent treatment. Alyssa Scolari [17:25]: Yes. Rebecca Christianson [17:26]: Silence actually sets off the same pain receptors as physical pain. Alyssa Scolari [17:33]: Oh, I did not know that. It makes sense. Rebecca Christianson [17:36]: It does. Giving someone the silent treatment sets off the same pain receptors as actual physical pain in our brain. It's so painful to be ignored, rejected, abandoned to feel those feelings to suddenly have silence. So it's also a huge manipulation tactic for narcissists. Rebecca Christianson [17:54]: Stonewalling, the end of the prayer that you read, "And I am done with this relationship," refusing to talk about things is also a huge manipulation tactic. And then comparison. So they need the attention from everyone, right? So they will often compare what you're giving to what other people, past girl friends, other people that they are in their lives can give them, can feed them. So another huge manipulation tactic is to compare what you're offering to other people, whether that's imagined or real, to get you to up your ante, to get you to do more. Alyssa Scolari [18:38]: Yeah. And I also think that another too, well, you mentioned the love bombing, right? And for folks out there who may not have heard of this phrase before or may have heard of it, and don't quite know what it is love bombing is, again, the narcissist isn't taking accountability for his or her or their actions, but they are showering you with gifts, showering you with affection, spending money, maybe money that they don't even have, on you. Alyssa Scolari [19:06]: Suddenly you have that Prada bag that you have always wanted. Suddenly they are paying for you to go on a trip. Suddenly, you've been asking for three years to go and visit, I don't know, the state of Vermont in the fall because it's beautiful and guess what? All of a sudden you're going there. And they might be showering with you with words of affection as well, "I love you. You're so important to me." They tell you everything, like Rebecca said, that you want to hear, that makes you think that they have taken accountability and seen the error of their ways. But without them actually having to say that, right? So that's love bombing. Alyssa Scolari [19:41]: But then the other thing that I always see with narcissists is their attempt at isolation, right? So yes, also the comparison, but they will also do this thing where they will make you feel like you're alone in the world. And they might say very subtle things like, "Oh, did you see the weird way your friend was looking at you there?" Rebecca Christianson [20:06]: Yeah. Alyssa Scolari [20:06]: Right? "Did you see the way she rolled her eyes when you guys were talking? Do you really think she's a good friend?" When I was in a relationship with a narcissist, he would tell me time and time again, that my family hated me, that they hated me. And after a while, and he wouldn't sit me down and say, "Alyssa, your family hates you." But it was very subtle. It would be, "Huh? Are you sure you're okay with the way your mom said this?" And, "Are you sure you don't feel some kind of way about the way your dad said that." And, "Oh, well, I heard that your friend, so and so, said this about you." These very seemingly small things that suddenly, before you know it, have you feeling like you can't trust anyone else, but the narcissist. Rebecca Christianson [20:53]: Mm-hmm [affirmative]. Alyssa Scolari [20:54]: Do you agree with that? Did I explain that correctly? Rebecca Christianson [20:55]: I totally agree. Yes, I absolutely agree. They will... Until they're the only one that you trust, but they never, ever go, it's never going to actually be about you, it's always going to be about them. And the reason they do that is so that they don't have competition so that when you don't have anyone to say, "You know, he said or she said this to me." And for them to say, "That's gaslighting. They're gaslighting you." Or like, "That's not okay. They're breaking you down. You're not yourself." Rebecca Christianson [21:37]: Isolate you from everyone that can give you perspective, so that they are your only perspective, because they'll isolate you from anyone who can challenge them. Especially anyone whose smart enough to see what they're doing. Alyssa Scolari [21:54]: Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Rebecca Christianson [21:56]: Yep. I think that whenever... Another kind of hallmark I feel like I see a lot in people who come in and they're in a relationship with a narcissist is, they want to change. If you feel like you want to change or teach the person you're in a relationship with something, like about being a decent human, if you feel like they just don't understand how to treat people properly or be nice or kind, right? Sometimes people will say, "I just don't think that they understand." It always is a red flag to me. My ears always perk up and I start to listen because you shouldn't have to teach a normal person how to be decent and respect people. If you're in an adult relationship, you shouldn't have to, that's something that you teach toddlers. That's not something that you should teach an adult. Rebecca Christianson [22:54]: They should know that. That should be... So if you feel that way, be careful, because narcissists can't learn that. Alyssa Scolari [23:04]: Yes. Rebecca Christianson [23:04]: They do not get something from being inherently kind. If they're kind it's to feed their ego. It's to get something fed. It's not just about, it's never about the other person. So that's something else. It's like a hallmark in relationships when you feel like, "Oh, I just don't think they... They just don't understand how they come across." They know exactly how they come across and they're being an asshole to your friends because they don't want you to be in those friendships because those people are picking up on the fact that they're a narcissist. So it's all manipulation. Alyssa Scolari [23:41]: Absolutely. 1000%. 1000%. I think you make a really good point there. And I think before we wrap up with this Part One today, and we're going to get into more on the next episode about some differences between covert and an overt narcissists and what does narcissistic abuse look like in the victim? What are some of the longterm effects of that? What does treatment look like? We're going to talk about that in the next episode, but I also, before we close out, I really wanted to say that it's important for you guys to remember out there that this narcissism is defined by a pattern. Because you could take any one of these things in an isolated incident, and it might not necessarily mean somebody is a narcissist, right? Alyssa Scolari [24:27]: Like Rebecca said, we all have selfish tendencies. Being selfish isn't a bad thing at times, right? We all can be self-absorbed. So in an isolated incident, I don't want you to see this and then think immediately of this podcast and go, "Oh my gosh, this must be a narcissist." Because that's not necessarily the case. It is a pattern, a consistent pattern, so please keep that in mind. Alyssa Scolari [24:54]: And with that being said, I think, unless there's anything else you wanted to add today, Rebecca, I feel like this might be a good place to wrap up with this episode. And then... Rebecca Christianson [25:09]: I think that's great. I think that in our next episode, I want to touch a little bit on, this is something you and I talked about, the covert versus overt narcissist. I do think a lot of times, there are like closet narcissist and sometimes that gets missed and people are in unhealthy relationships. But we can definitely start with that, pick that up, next time. Rebecca Christianson [25:32]: And then start to talk about, there is some interesting characteristics that narcissists look for in people. I think sometimes victims of narcissists feel like there must be something wrong with them, but actually narcissists choose really intelligent victims. And they choose people who have really good qualities that are usually very intelligent. That'll also be a great topic to pick up with next time. Alyssa Scolari [25:58]: Perfect. So at that, I think we are going to wrap up and we will be back with the second part of this series next week. And if you are enjoying what you're hearing and you're enjoying the podcast, please do not forget to leave us a review. Reviews are incredibly important. They help us to continue to grow and that is the goal. We can get people to be aware that they have access to free mental health support and education through the podcast.

As autism rates have crept upward year after year, it has become common to shrug off the scorching numbers as little more than artifacts of "better awareness" or "diagnostic substitution." But the overwhelming weight of evidence suggests that the increase is real, the result of increasingly common neurodevelopmental disability, and not mere diagnostic shifts. NCSA President Jill Escher discusses this phenomenon with guests Walter Zahorodny, PhD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Rutgers University Medical School, and Josephine Shenouda, co-investigator of the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network in New Jersey. Highlights: • Using stable, reliable, consistent methodologies, autism rates have been seen to climb from less than 1% to more than 5-7% in metropolitan New Jersey, over about 20 years. • The increasing rates are not subtle nor confined to certain populations or areas. • Defying expectations, autism prevalence increases about 11% a year in the U.S., and rates have still not plateaued. • The findings reflect cases of serious underlying functional disability easily recognized by educators and health providers, and not mere differences or traits of autism. • There is no evidence that better detection or surveillance is leading to the growing numbers; there is no evidence of an undetected horde of adults that would have qualified as autistic under the criteria. • Comparing apples:apples, eg, just those with autism and intellectual disability, that population itself has increased dramatically; it's not just mild cases. Autism with ID is about 30-40% of cases. Most cases in the New Jersey studies would satisfy the DSM-IV criteria for "Autistic Disorder." • About 20% of children with autism in New Jersey are not officially diagnosed by age 8. • There is no evidence that in-migration to New Jersey has caused the increasing rates. • Most CDC ADDM sites are underestimating autism prevalence. • Vaccination is not linked to autism risk, and other environmental factors that have thus far been explored cannot explain the increase in autism, though some factors such as adverse perinatal events (like prematurity) contribute to some degree. • Diagnostic substitution, such as with intellectual disability, cannot explain the increasing rates. • Genetic hypotheses attract the bulk of funding but explain little about autism. • Autism screening using a simple 10-question parent survey they developed is 85% effective at detecting autism at 18-36 months. This can reduce disparities and increase access to intervention. • Understanding the true prevalence of autism is absolutely foundational to inform policy: programs, staffing, budgets. Yet we are operating on wildly outdated assumptions about autism rates. Links: Autism in California 2020: A Report to the Public.

Buckle in people, we are all over the place in this one.  We start off detouring into our Valentine's Day date at the Forbidden Ballet.  We talk about the history of filmmaker, Adrian Lyne (the first 2 time director on our list, but we will see him again).  We talk about the year's awards season and Jenny can't figure out the difference between Empire in the Sun and The Last Emperor.  Zack deep dives etiquette manuals to try to figure out the right way to eat spaghetti.  We discuss the potential DSM-IV diagnoses that could be applied to the film and talk about the British slang term "Bunny Boiler".  We go deep on the laws of stalking, spousal abuse, and rape in our home state and find some encouraging and shameful statistics.  We accuse the Metro Nashville Police Department of systematic abuse of power and call for a bold rethinking of policing strategies in the current time. We discuss how prolific a year 1987 has been for our podcast and how Zack has basically "worn out his Playboys" so we have to really go deep on the Washington PA Observer Reporter.  We find some real gems and share them with the world.

Dr. Winarick and I dive deep into Schizoid Personality Disorder.  He discusses the history of the Schizoid character throughout psychiatry and psychology, the changes in the DSM when Schizoid Personality Disorder broke off into three distinct personality disorders (Schizotypal, Avoidant, and Schizoid), and the difference between descriptive diagnostics and Psychoanalytic diagnostics. He reviews the main findings in his dissertation, which examined the differences and similarities between Schizoid and Avoidant Personality Disorders.  We also talk about the Schizoid spectrum, as viewed in Nancy McWilliams' Psychoanalytic Diagnosis, where there is a neurotic-borderline-psychotic axis measuring the degree of disturbance.  And more!  Daniel Winarick, Ph.D. has been assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the Ichan School of Medicine at Mt.

Show Notes for Podcast Five of Sex & Why Host: Jeannette Wolfe Topic: Stress Response   For Acute Care Medicine and Introduction to Sex and Gender Based Medicine CME Cruise Opportunity click here   Part 2 on biological sex differences in the stress response with special guest Justin Morgenstern We started out with a discussion on different ways to frame potential sex and gender based research using a method described by  Dr. M McCarthy A full discussion of this framework can also be found on my website McCarthy MM et al, The Journal of Neuroscience: the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience. 2012;32(7):2241-2247. There appears to be a significant amount of individual variation in how some individuals respond to and recover from similar stresses. Some of these differences may be influenced by our biological sex. Understanding how we react and respond to stress and how this may perhaps differ from other individuals around us may help us better communicate and lead under stressful situations. Study #1 This was a follow up study to an infamous study the same team did three years before in which they looked at sex differences in reward collection on a computer balloon game (Balloon Analogue Risk Task or BART). In this game, players got 30 balloons and the farther they pumped them up the more points they got however, each balloon was also set to randomly pop somewhere between 1- 128 pumps and if the player popped their balloon before they cashed it in they lost points for that balloon. Study participants were randomized to control vs stress condition (placing hand in neutral versus ice water for 3 min) and then played the game. They found that in neutral conditions there was no significant difference in risk taking (number of pumps 39 for women versus 42 for men, but under stress women decreased their pumping to 32 while men increased to 48). In this 2012 study, Lighthall's group adjusted its protocol so that BART could now be played in an MRI scanner. Unfortunately, the new BART design subtly changed the game because now instead of going through 30 balloons, participants played the game for a set amount of time with unlimited balloons. This inadvertently added a second strategy to get lots of points as the new design allowed participants to get points by either pumping additional air into an individual balloon or rapidly moving through a greater number of balloons while pumping only a few pumps per balloon. Stress intervention was again either a cold or neutral temperature water bath and after submersion the researchers collected cortisol samples and scanned participants while they played the game. Results- no difference in control conditions (room temp water) between men and women in number of balloon pumps or points earned But under stress men acted more quickly and got increased rewards while women appeared to slow down their reaction time and decrease their rewards. Men had higher baseline and stimulated cortisol but there was no difference b/w men and women in the amount of cortisol change between baseline and stressed condition. Under basic non stress conditions- during the control testing it appeared that overall men and women utilized the same brain regions to complete the balloon task (i.e. suggesting that males and females approach the task by using similar neural strategies), however once stressed men and women seemed to use different areas of their brain. Men used their dorsal striatum and anterior insula more. Anterior insula has been associated with switching tasks from a riskier to a safer option (and in both sexes higher activity in this region correlated with higher collection rate) and the dorsal striatum is believed to be associated with obtaining predictable rewards and with integrating sensory, motor, cognitive and emotional signals. Did not find that men had increased risk taking in this study but it may have been masked in that there was now a lower risk strategy available to them that still was associated with an increased reward (pumping balloon a small amount and quickly cashing in to get to next balloon). Concept discussed is that under stress men may possible go into type one systemic thinking (automatic) while women may favor type 2 (deliberate cognitive inquiry). Lighthall, N. R., Mather, M., & Gorlick, M. A. (2009). Acute stress increases sex differences in risk seeking in the balloon analogue risk task. PloS One, 4(7), e6002. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0006002 Lighthall, N. R., Sakaki, M., Vasunilashorn, S., Nga, L., Somayajula, S., Chen, E. Y. Mather, M. (2012). Gender differences in reward-related decision processing under stress. Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience, 7(4), 476–84. https://doi.org/10.1093/scan/nsr026 Study #2:  Goal to determine if: Under equal subjective sensations of stress (i.e. men and women objectively rate their subjective level of stress the same on a 1-10 point scale) do men and women use the same brain circuitry to process stress or do they use different circuitries. What they did: Collect cognitive, psychiatric, and drug use assessments on 55 men and 41 women aged 19-50 Exclusions TBI, psychoactive meds, history of substance abuse, preg, DSM-IV mental health disorder and currently menstruating or oral contraceptive use (to try and mitigate additional hormonal influences) Over course of 2-3 sessions put them into a MRI scanner and asked them to visualize neutral or stress inducing images (this technique has previously been validated and involved the subjects own audiotaped accounts of stressful –rated as greater than 8 on 1-10 Likert scale- or neutral experience) which was later played back to them in MRI scanner Asked them to rank their level of stress Looked to see which areas of the brain lit up under different conditions Results Men and women appeared to have different strategies for guided visual tasks in general regardless of whether listening to neutral or stressful recordings: Men: More likely to light up areas associated with motor processing and action. Caudate, midbrain, thalamus, and cingulate gyrus and cerebellum Women: More likely to light up areas associated with visual processing, verbal expression and emotional experience             Right temporal gyrus, insula and occipital lobe Women were also more likely to increase their HR regardless of condition (likely from having increased autonomic arousal- though other studies suggest that women have increased HR at baseline compared to men in general) Under stress men and women had firing in opposite directions: Men dampened while women increased firing in: Dorsal Medial pre-frontal cortex, parietal lobes (including inferior parietal lobe and precuneus region) left temporal lobe, occipital area and cerebellum. Believed functions of these different regions Dorsal medial frontal cortex – executive functioning of cognitive control, self-awareness of emotional discomfort, strategic reasoning, and regulation Precuneus- part of the parietal lobe associated with self-referential and self-consciousness Inferior parietal lobe- cognitive appraisal and consideration of response strategies (also area often associated with mirror imaging) Left temporal gyrus- processes verbal information Occipital area- processes visual information Cerebellum- besides coordinating motor movement also is involved in emotional and cognitive processing  “Taken together, the observed differences in these regions suggest that men and women may differ in the extent to which they engage in verbal processing, visualization, self-referential thinking, and cognitive processing during the experience of stress and anxiety.” They also suggest that under stress men may feel anxious due to “hypoactivity” while women may feel stress due to “hyperactivity” in above noted regions. Conclusion: Men and women use different neural strategies under stress even with similarly reported stress levels  This research is still clearly in its infancy but suggests that under stress some men, may turn down activity in areas of their brains involved in executive functioning and that this might increase their vulnerability to impulsivity. Conversely, under stress some women may actually turn up activity in these regions that could lead to excessive rumination and possibly depression. The authors then extrapolate their data to suggest that men and women might possibly benefit from different stress reduction techniques in that some men might benefit more from cognitive behavioral therapy which enhances frontal lobe firing and some women from mindful meditation which dampens it.  Seo, D., Ahluwalia, A., Potenza, M. N., & Sinha, R. (2017). Gender Differences in Neural Correlates of Stress-Induced Anxiety. Journal of Neuroscience Research, 125, 115–125. Study #3 This study literally looks at what conditions men and women might seek out increased physical interaction with their dog after an agility competition. The background here is that in 2000 Dr. SE Taylor questioned whether the flight of fight response which has classically been described as a “universal” stress response, was actually applicable to both males and females. She questioned how realistic it was for a female who might be physically smaller and less muscular than her male peer to successfully fight or run away from a potential attacker. She suggested an alternative response of “tend and befriend” which suggests that under stress that women may naturally migrate towards their children as well as others within their intimate circle with the belief that a larger group may offer protection and a pooling of resources. Additional support for this theory is the idea that oxytocin, which has receptors throughout the brain and is usually found in higher amounts in women, may be released during this affiliative behavior and help to dampen the physiological cortisol stress response. This study was done to see if men and women seek out physical contact with another being (in this case their dog) in similar fashion when they are stressed. They chose to study human contact with a dog versus an interaction with another human to try and mitigate the influence of any “gender expectation” violations. Which in English means that if Rob would normally seek out Carol when he is stressed, he might decide not to do so in public (and in this case being videotaped) because he doesn't want to appear “less masculine”. As public affection with one's dog is considered less gender biased, the authors chose this interaction as a marker for affiliative behavior.  What they did: Videotaped and took cortisol saliva levels from 93 men and  91 women after they had run their dog through a competitive agility course. Recording and samples were taken as participants waited for their official score (although subjectively most participants pretty much already knew whether or not their dog had scored high enough to move on.) The researchers measured cortisol levels and how much participants petted their dog while waiting for this score. Results: 36 of results excluded because dogs did not finish course and were disqualified Overall there was no sex difference in total affiliative behavior Of first 180 seconds of video tape women petted dog on average 27 seconds and men 25 seconds When men and women perceived they lost, their cortisol level increased more than those who perceived they had advanced. Differences occurred however as to when men and women were more likely to pet their dogs Women petted them more when they sensed defeat- an additional 12 seconds compared to women who had won Men petted them more when they sensed victory- an additional 7 seconds when compared to men who had lost Conclusions: women sought out affiliative behavior when they lost, men sought it out when they won. Justin and I use this paper as a discussion point as to understanding how two people may get exposed to the same stressor and respond quite differently and importantly how they sort of bounce back from a stressful situation may also differ. This paper suggests that emotional debriefing after stressful experiences may be more helpful to some individuals than others. For more on the stress response please see Justin's new post on First10EM Sherman G, Rice L, Shuo Jin E, et al: (2017) Sex differences in cortisol's regulation of affiliative behavior.

This 2-video compilation focuses on the Narcissist's Manipulation Tactics, including Gaslighting, Denial & Deflection. The psychology of cluster b personality disorders is abnormal, to say the least - and if you consider these kinds of manipulation ploys, trauma bonding is not a shock, right? Cluster B personality disorders are a categorization of personality disorders as defined in the DSM-IV and DSM-5. ... They include antisocial personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. noun: manipulation; plural noun: manipulations 1. the action of manipulating something in a skillful manner. "the format allows fast picture manipulation" 2. the action of manipulating someone in a clever or unscrupulous way. "there was no deliberate manipulation of visitors' emotions" Discover. Understand.

It involves chronic, unrelenting self-ridicule that may take over someone's thoughts to the extent that it interferes with work, socialization, and mental and physical health.Body dysmorphia—more formally called body dysmorphic disorder (BDD)—is more than fretting over some post-pregnancy stretch marks, a few gray hairs, or a couple of pounds that have crept up around the midsection over the years.BDD is characterized by a self-perception that is detached from reality. Individuals may imagine flaws that are nonexistent, or, they may view very mild and extremely common “faults” in their appearance—things other people don't even notice—as so disfiguring and aesthetically unpleasing that they take over the person's thoughts and interfere with everyday life.Put simply, individuals with BDD see things that aren't there. They become obsessed with perceived shortcomings about their physical body, either completely imagining things, or taking things that are there—blemishes, perhaps, or scars, cellulite, or excess body fat—and blowing them out of all rational proportion.BDD may become so severe that the Mayo Clinic classifies it as “a type of chronic mental illness.” (Indeed, BDD is recognized as a unique, diagnosable condition in the DSM-IV.)Negative thoughts about one's appearance can become so pervasive and all-encompassing that they actually lead to more severe conditions, such as anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and unnecessary and dangerous cosmetic procedures.

On tonight's show we explore disability and disability justice: Austin Tam We'll hear from folks with disabilities spanning the visible, like Jean Lin who has Cerebral Palsy, to the invisible like Claire Light who has Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Austin Tam who has ADHD and a cognitive disorder. We'll also hear from disability justice organizer Mia Mingus and her views on new ways to conceive of disability and its contributions to the movement for collective liberation. Peppered throughout the show, award-winning poet Anhvu Buchanan treats us with readings from his book The Disordered based on entries from the DSM IV. The post Disability Justice on APEX Express appeared first on KPFA.

An essay, poems, and a short story. Discussed: sisters, best friends, feminist poetry, Belle & Sebastian, California, meteor showers, shacks in the woods, DSM IV 300.6, John Green, tumblr, teens, and the impossibility of knowing another person's experience of the world but the importance of always trying.
