Biased Processing of Threat-Related Information Rather Than Knowledge Deficits Contributes to Overestimation of Threat in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
20 Nov 2009 | 11:49 amOverestimation of threat (OET) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The present study deconstructed this complex concept and looked for specific deviances in OCD relative to controls. A total of 46 participants with OCD and 51 nonclinical controls were asked: (a) to estimate the incidence rate for 20 events relating to washing, checking, positive, or negative incidents. Furthermore, they were required (b) to assess their personal vulnerability to experience each event type, and (c) to judge the degree of accompanying worry. Later, participants were… -
Secondary Tics or Tourettism Associated With a Brain Tumor
20 Nov 2009 | 5:37 amTourette syndrome is generally considered to be a genetic disorder, but symptoms mimicking Tourette syndrome can be secondary to an underlying lesion disrupting the basal ganglia circuitry. Described here is a case of secondary tics, or tourettism, in a child with a large oligodendroglioma of the right temporal lobe extending to the basal ganglia. He presented with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and stimulant-induced tic disorder at the age of 11 years, and later also had also seizures. The family history was unremarkable. Cranial magnetic resonance… -
Long-Term, Post-Deep Brain Stimulation Management of a Series of 36 Patients Affected With Refractory Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome
19 Nov 2009 | 3:00 pmConclusions. Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder with a significant prevalence in the general population. More than 50% of the patients with TS present a behavioral comorbidity, and anxiety and depression are, to various degrees, associated to this "waxing and waning" clinical picture. DBS in our experience proved to be a valid treatment modality for those patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment modalities. A multidisciplinary team is nevertheless necessary to properly handle this complex therapeutic option. (Source: Neuromodulation) -

JUST A DREAM...
18 Nov 2009 | 5:37 amI am sickkkk. I got some kind of icky nasty flu. I want to cut my head off and drain it....So yesterday I went and looked at a house I found that was actually in my price range. It's a big 4 bedroom 2 bath with a basement - out in the country even. I went inside and looked all around with the owner, and the place needs some work, but nothing I couldn't do over time. I started to get very excited about the prospect of owning my own home. But - you know what they say - "If it seems to good to be true"..... I started doing all of my research on the place and found out that it was in a flood… -
WHY DOES IT HURT SO BAD?
11 Nov 2009 | 1:07 pmToday has been such a hard one.I think I have been crying most of the day, everything seems to be a trigger. I thought that this would get easier with time, but so far it's not. I miss my Daddy so much. Nothing can take away this terrible aching in my soul. I've got my flag up to honor him, posted his photos to remember him, and this morning I laid his ashes to rest with my grandparents out at the cemetery. I have never felt this kind of ripping pain in my whole life. There is so much I wish I would have done differently. SO many damned good memories that EVERYTHING reminds me of him. I know… -

HERE'S MY LIST MOM...

As a matter of fact, this morning I will be stuffing candy bags for their little school parties taking place this afternoon. What gives? Every year it seems to get worse and worse in the stores, with all the Christmas goop in full swing by Oct. first. Eeeyyy.The lists aren't getting anymore affordable either. Riley wants a Nintendo DS - she has wanted one since last year and just won't give up on it. Shane Michael still wants a Wii - with all the newest Guitar Hero games of course. -
HERE COMES THE SUN
27 Oct 2009 | 6:43 amSo life is slowly starting to get back to some kind of normal around here. This weekend we went to the punkin patch and picked out our pumpkin, had some fun, and watched this big ol' thing shoot pumpkins out of it. Pretty cool really - the kids had a blast. We had to leave early because it started to rain pretty heavily, but it was so nice to just get away from here.I went back to work on Saturday. Things just picked up right where I left off. I've been there for a year now, but still can't get a raise. Owner says we aren't making enough money to afford that. Whatever eh?Today I have to work…

It was a bad day...
19 Nov 2009 | 6:34 amToday was so bad it wasn’t even funny. I got caught up in so many loops I wanted to cry or jump of a bridge. I got caught in so many walking and thinking I left something on the ground loops. I even got caught in a handwashing loop- not because of germs, because I don’t have that OCD thing, but because I couldn’t be sure I shut off the faucet! So I had to keep re-doing the process of washing. I was there probably ten minutes. I kept walking away and then going back. God, I hope none of that was caught on camera because it was at work. Right up til’ I… -
Supermarket
18 Nov 2009 | 11:30 pmEach day when Sandra got home she emptied out all the annoying silver coins that made her purse weigh a ton into a small bucket. Her plan was to use the collected money to shout herself to something extra-special when she filled the bucket. Now, the bucket was close to full and she couldn’t think of a good way to exchange so many coins for cash. Her best idea was to slowly “evolve” the collection into larger currency units. She figured, for example, that each day she could replace each gold coin in her purse with the equivalent in silver coins. Then, she could use these whenever she… -

Manicheanism, American Style!
14 Nov 2009 | 7:57 amAndrew Sullivan on watching Sean Hannity: It’s like listening to Hugh Hewitt. Or reading Pravda in the old Soviet Union. But somehow watching a human being so brainwashed and engaging in conscious brain-washing makes it worse. Hannity is a pathological level of propagandist, because his entire reality, his entire mindset is programmed for ideology and partisanship. There is no world for him but politics; and no perspective within politics except conflict and warfare. He greets views that do not comport with the opportunistic ideology of the moment as threats to be extinguished, not… -
Assignment
7 Nov 2009 | 10:58 pmThe big toe on her left foot became caught in the rubber strap of her flip-flop, causing her balance to waffle and the subsequent planting of her heel onto the linoleum. “Dammit,” she muttered, perturbed. Sighing heavily, she set down the book and newspaper she was carrying and hiked her left leg onto the kitchen counter, foot in the sink. She knew… she was aware of how ridiculous it was. Rolling up slightly the sleeves of her robe, she pressed down on the soap dispenser releasing a concentrated jelly glop of liquid soap into her palm. …

Psychotherapy: Art or Science?
18 Nov 2009 | 7:40 amIn recent weeks, several articles have appeared previewing the work to be published in November’s Psychological Science in the Public Interest. In this article, the authors allege that the majority of psychotherapists fail to use empirically validated treatments. Furthermore they suggest that millions of people are getting therapy based on the personal theories of their therapists rather than on the substantial research studies that support specific types of therapy for specific problems. Many of the strategies that the authors refer to are based on the premises of cognitive and… -
When Dummies Get Together
9 Nov 2009 | 10:12 amTo our regular blog readers: Forgive us for indulging in some stray musings today. We’re hanging out in the San Francisco airport waiting for our flight back home to New Mexico, reflecting on the unique conference that just wrapped up. Actually, it was an unconference, meaning that it was designed to be interactive and collaborative rather than a series of lectures. In addition, the participants were all proud to call themselves Dummies. That’s because we all have written one or more books in the For Dummies series. What an interesting collection of people! The authors came… -
Beyond Mindfulness
3 Nov 2009 | 8:53 amMy wife, Dr. Smith, and I are big fans of mindfulness approaches to therapy and we’ve included discussions of mindfulness in most of our self help books within the For Dummies series (including Borderline Personality Disorder For Dummies). In brief, Mindfulness is typically described as involving focused attention on experiences in the present moment as well as acceptance and openness to whatever the present entails. Experiences are observed and noticed rather than evaluated and judged. A real advantage of taking a Mindful approach to experience is that relatively few present moment… -
OCD: Feeling, Thinking, Doing
2 Nov 2009 | 8:09 amObsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) involves feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. For the vast majority of people with OCD, the feeling of anxiety is prominent. A man with OCD might have an obsessive thought that a doorknob is contaminated and the thought of touching the doorknob causes him great distress. He takes a spray bottle of disinfectant and sprays the doorknob and his anxiety decreases. That momentary relief feels pretty good, until the next doorknob appears. The pattern repeats-an obsessive thought, an overestimation of danger or risk, increased anxiety, a compulsive action, and then… -
Should You Stay With Someone Who Has Borderline Personality Disorder?
22 Oct 2009 | 7:51 amPeople sometimes ask us if they should stay with a partner who has Borderline Personality Disorder. They tell us that their loved one can flip from wonderful to horrible in a split second. They wonder whether they should keep working on the relationship or abandon ship. We tell those asking this question that people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) indeed engage in a wide variety of behaviors and states of mind. Not surprisingly, people who care about those who have BPD often ask which of these various states represent the “real” person–the difficult states or the…
