Evidence it’s not improving: today, one of the moms was holding up a tabloid in our waiting room and she said, “I can’t believe how thin she is now!” and I agreed that Beyonce bounced back incredibly. It was a picture of Jessica Simpson.

I am terrible at human interaction.
Spot your doctor getting into your subway car.  You know, the same doctor you’ve been to twice in the past 6 days for your rotting eyeball. Turn around and hope he doesn’t notice you. Turn up music so that if he says something, you can pretend not to hear it. Get off subway at your stop, having successfully avoided interaction with said doctor. Glance over shoulder while walking up...

Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath? →
This article gives a great perspective on the challenges faced by those studying youth & adolescent psychopathy.  Can we call them psychopaths? Can we treat them and “cure” them? How do we deal with this population? I wrote a pretty lengthy paper on this topic just a couple of years ago, and there was relatively little research to look through.  I was consulting chapters in text...

"I've had a rough week."
That’s what I keep telling people when they ask me why I look so miserable, or why I’m staring into space, or why I’m snapping at everyone, or why I’m crying into a cardboard cup of soup in the corner with the door closed. The truth is that I don’t really want to talk about it.  I feel weird saying anything to people.  I feel even weirder writing about it on the...

For those of you playing along at home
We last left off with me waiting by my Inbox, desperately hoping for something to pop up that said, “YAAAYY YOU GOT IN TO GRAD SCHOOL!  YOU’RE AWESOME!” Well, I still haven’t heard from the school.  After a month of waiting, I emailed the department earlier this week to see if maybe my acceptance letter got stuck in the pipes that connect our interwebz. I was told that if...
