[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.
