Re: [DIV28SUPER] Video: War of the Mind : The New Yorker

Another installment in this series is online today, more on Sims and the use of LSD in interrogation settings.
As expectation might influence the setting, lack of prior consent became a necessity. As everyone at Edgewood Arsenal came to expect that a sudden period of disorientation might be the work of base employees, the evaluation of drug effects were moved off the base...

[DIV28SUPER] Psychological therapies for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder in children and adolescents | Cochrane Summaries

In light of the recent horror and universal discussion, one can only wonder about the surviving children.

The Cochrane library last week published a review (some evidence for cognitive behavior therapy) and call for more research, including examining use of medications.

This was mentioned last week on the RXP list reposting ken pope and then tracked down the citation.

[DIV28SUPER] CONFLICTS WITH OURSELVES: LESSONS FRO CHARLIE BROWN

People dealing with substance abuse often have trouble dealing with conflicts.  I thought, therefore, that some division 28 members might get a kick out of the following:

CONFLICTS WITH OURSELVES: LESSONS FROM CHARLIE BROWN

or

http://drjeffreyrubin.wordpress.com/2012/12/08/conflicts-with-ourselves-lessons-from-charlie-brown/ 

Man, that Charles Schultz was a genius when it comes to intrapersonal conflicts!

It has been said that until we learn to deal wisely with our own intrapersonal conflicts, we will be lacking in our ability to resolve conflicts with others.

Jeff,

[DIV28SUPER] Workshop on the Feasibility of Using Incapacitation Agents Against Terrorists

Jean Bidlack and I agreed this was a timely moment to make the proceedings of this 1986 workshop available. This workshop was organized by the University of Rochester.

The previous generation of our colleagues participated in this event, members of APA and CPDD are well represented in this discussion of the use of behaviorally active agents in terrorist event suppression contexts.

[DIV28SUPER] [GRAYMAIL] NIH PA-13-018 Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp)

The NIH Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) and participating ICs including NIDA released on November 13 the  FOA, PA-13-018 Administrative Supplements for Research on Sex/Gender Differences (Admin Supp).  Supplements will be funded by an ORWH set aside.    The earliest submission date is December 12, 2012 and the application due date is January 11, 2013.
 
As is the case for all administrative supplements, research proposed under this announcement must be within the original scope of the parent grant.  Applicants should propose research that, if successful, would contribute to a greater understanding of the implications of sex/gender differences (or similarities) in human health or disease outcomes.   Applicants may use the following approaches to address sex/gender comparisons:

 

  • The addition of another group of subjects (human or animal) of the opposite sex when subjects of only one sex were used in the original study for comparative analyses of sex/gender. Applicants proposing to use subjects of only one sex/gender will be considered non-responsive UNLESS the data will be compared with those from the opposite sex within the administrative supplement period;   
  • The addition of more subjects  (human or animal) of both sexes to sufficiently power a study that was insufficiently powered to conduct or detect a sex/gender difference (or similarity) in the original study; or 
  •  The analyses of preexisting data where sex-specific data are included and power is sufficient, but a sex/gender analysis was not performed as part of the original study.

 

TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send email to listserv@list.nih.gov<mailto:listserv@list.nih.gov>, Copy and paste UNSUBSCRIBE NIDA_NEURO_SCIENCE-L   in the message body of the email - You will receive a confirmation email if successful.

If you have problems contact jpollock@mail.nih.gov     301-435-1309
