August 10, 2011 I graduated in the Dominican Republic and live in the US. Can I provide mental health counseling online (via Skype) charging? I haven’t gotten my license as a psychologist in the US, just a "Qualified Mental Health Professional".

August 8, 2011 Michel Foucault says that knowledge and power rely on one another. I see how this works in things like psychiatry fits into this idea, but i don’t see how forms of knowledge like physics or literature are created in this fashion

August 7, 2011 think about this study that delves into the mental issues associated with liberalism?
While 58 percent of Republicans reported having excellent mental health, only 38 percent of Democrats described themselves that way.
The study was no surprise to Dr. Lyle H. Rossiter, a veteran psychiatrist and author of a controversial book that makes the clinical case liberalism is a mental illness.
"Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded," says Rossiter, author of "The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness." "Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave."
While political activists on the other side of the spectrum have made similar observations, Rossiter boasts professional credentials and a life virtually free of activism and links to "the vast right-wing conspiracy."

For more than 35 years he has diagnosed and treated more than 1,500 patients as a board-certified clinical psychiatrist and examined more than 2,700 civil and criminal cases as a board-certified forensic psychiatrist. He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago.
Rossiter says the kind of liberalism being displayed by both Barack Obama and his Democratic primary opponent Hillary Clinton can only be understood as a psychological disorder.
"A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity – as liberals do," he says. "A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population – as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation’s citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state – as liberals do."
Dr. Rossiter says the liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:
* creating and reinforcing perceptions of victimization;
* satisfying infantile claims to entitlement, indulgence and compensation;
* augmenting primitive feelings of envy;
* rejecting the sovereignty of the individual, subordinating him to the will of the government.
"The roots of liberalism – and its associated madness – can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind," he says. "When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious."
By the way, the Gallup poll conducted late last year also found only 43 percent of independents describe themselves as in excellent mental health. While Rossiter thinks he understands the discrepancy in the state of mental health between Democrats and Republicans, the Gallup pollsters could only scratch their heads.
"The reason the relationship exists between being a Republican and more positive mental health is unknown, and one cannot say whether something about being a Republican causes a person to be more mentally healthy or whether something about being mentally healthy causes a person to choose to become a Republican," the study concluded.

August 3, 2011 "The lawyer said it was too early to say if Breivik would plead insanity at his trial, adding that his client might oppose this as he felt that only he "understands the truth" and a need, as he sees it, to combat "cultural Marxism" and Islam.
Yngve Ystad, a Norwegian forensic psychiatrist and adviser to the police, said it was unlikely that Breivik would be found to be psychotic and thus unaccountable for his actions, or would even be able to claim diminished responsibility.
"He had planned the crime and he was not in that way disturbed by psychotic or delusional ideas because this has been going on for a very long time and, according to the press, he has not been disturbed or suffered severe disturbances."’

August 3, 2011 I have wanted to go to London for university and I was wondering how that would work if I’ve been through elementary, middle, and high school in Washington. I have the option to get an IB diploma, does that make things easier/better/possible? I am just looking for information about going to London to study, and good colleges/universities. I don’t know what I really want to do yet career wise, it ranges from psychiatry to engineering to architecture…..
Best answer will be chosen

August 2, 2011 I am currently a college student majoring in psychology, however I plan to work towards going into psychiatry. So I have a few questions I would like to ask anyone that may have the answers. First can you go to med school with a psychology degree? I have heard both yes and no on this and I don’t see why not if I use all my electives to satisfy my med school requirements then psychology would be the best degree to get for psychiatry. Does anyone know for a fact whether or not you can or cannot? My other question is, is there anything I can be doing now to prepare? I am a second year college student while I know rushing is pointless I feel that there is something I could be doing to make things easier/faster. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

July 31, 2011 Why do some people still think being gay/lesbian is a choice even though studies on gays kind of suggests otherwise?
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080617151845.htm
In June 2008 they scanned the brains of almost 100 gay men & lesbians and they discovered that gay men tend have brains similar to hetero women & that lesbians tend have brains similar to hetero men.
http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/2006/01/gays-more-likel/
Lesbian women are twice as likely to be left-handed.Lesbians have a 91 percent greater chance of being left-handed or ambidextrous than straight women, while gay men are 34 percent more likely than straight men to not be right-handed.
http://www.someone-to-talk-to.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=210:gay-brains-are-different&catid=43:scientific-research&Itemid=63
Gays think like women and lesbians’ brains work like heterosexual men’s according to a new study by English psychiatrists. In tests, scientists from the Institute of Psychiatry in London found that gay men excelled at mental tasks women generally perform better than men, but were not so good at tasks traditionally seen as "male". Similarly, lesbians did as badly as heterosexual men in a test geared to women.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7456588.stm
Gay men and straight women have,on average, equally proportioned brain hemispheres.Lesbian women and straight men have, on average,slightly larger right brain hemispheres.
I’m not trying to attack anyone’s beliefs (if you believe being gay is a choice that’s A-Okay with me) but don’t a lot of these studies pretty much suggest you cant choose your orientation? and maybe that homosexuality might be wired some peoples brains?

July 30, 2011 I’m a junior in high school and I’m going to attend an IB school soon. I’m really interested in psychology and how the brain works, so I’m thinking of going to med school, preferably in Europe, to study psychiatry. What classes am I required to take to enter a medical school for that study?
