I will continually update this page with sites of
interest to me. Please check back for new additions.
Dogs And Psychology:
Managed Health Care Crisis:
- www.nomanagedcare.org/mcdowell.htm
is a critique of the National Committee for Quality
Assurance [NCQA], an organization ostensibly
formed to promote quality health care but, in fact,
organized by and for major pharmaceutical corporations
and their health care agenda.
Other Professionals:
- www.AcupuncturePortland.com:
I've been a proponent of holistic healthcare for many
years and of the healing power of acupuncture since 1995.
Cita Oudijk has a Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine and
is a Licensed Acupuncturist. Please visit her
website.
- www.CounselingRockville.com
My father is a psychotherapist in private practice and
the director of the Greater Washington Institute for
Transactional Analysis in Rockville, Maryland. You will
find a link at his site for books he has published on
psychotherapy, anger and human relationships.
- www.EnjoyParentingAgain.com
Michael Gorsline is a counselor in Portland who works
collaboratively with parents, children and couples to
help them acquire practical skills to make life a little
easier and more rewarding.
Parenting:
- 1-2-3 Magic by Thomas Phelan, Ph.D. is the
authoritative guide to behavior modification for kids up
to 12 years old (I've helped parents in my therapy
practice use it with 16 year olds!) Phelan shows parents
how to stop arguing with their kids. Available in video
as well, 1-2-3 Magic gets my highest possible rating of
any parenting book. Dr. Phelan has other good books as
well on Adolescence, ADD, etc. His web page is www.ParentMagic.com.
- How To Behave So Your Children Will, Too! by
Sal Severe, Ph.D. is a book whose title says it all.
While I have not yet read this book I have heard a review
which spoke glowingly of its wisdom. I don't purchase
many parenting books but the title is so fundamentally
resonant with my work and methodology that I recommend it
based on the review I heard and on author John Bradshaw's
recommendation. Dr. Severe's web site is www.HowToBehave.com.
Psychiatry and Psychology:
- Center
For The Study of Psychiatry and Psychology. Peter
Breggin, M.D. is a psychiatrist and a leading opponent of
biopsychiatric treatments such as psychiatric drugs. Of
his many books, Talking Back To Prozac and
Talking Back To Ritalin have made him an expert
witness before congress and a champion for the protection
of children from psychiatric medication. Many fascinating
and disturbing documents at his web site challenge
here-to-fore conventional wisdom on mental illness and
treatment. www.breggin.com
Psychotherapy:
- Scott Miller, Ph. D. is a psychologist, a researcher,
and a leading voice for what works in psychotherapy.
Famous for his informative and entertaining workshops,
his web site, www.talkingcure.com,
is updated regularly with pertinent research material and
his workshop schedule.
