Journal of Psychology - JuniperPublishers Introduction Psychological and behavioral symptoms, such as self- injurious behavior (SIBs), can be the expression of an underlying disease entity, sometimes even previously unidentified. When possible, the best approach to self-injury for such individuals is to anticipate the possibilities of these complications long before they actually occur by preventing or ameliorating the disease entity itself.

Journal of Psychology - JuniperPublishers Abstract Objective: Movies have long been utilized to highlight varied areas in the field of psychiatry. We have previously described a course [ 1 ] that teaches psychopathy to psychiatry residents based on the horror genre. Methods: Course directors subsequently created a medical student elective (SCREAM) that serves as a steering committee for the residents's course. As art imitates life, the primary focus of SCREAM is to enhance residents' didactics by incorporating media inspired by true stories. Such teaching not only takes advantage of the strengths of fictional case studies [ 1 ], but also appreciates that the films are often inspired by actual events.

Conclusions: Courses that use media to teach are found to be engaging an...

Stonewalling: Is Your Partner Avoiding the Conversation? What is stonewalling you might ask? According to renowned psychologist Dr. John Gottman of the Gottman Institute in Seattle, WA, “Stonewalling occurs when the listener retreats from the conversation, shutting down from the speaker because they are feeling overwhelmed.” Imagine this scenario – your partner completely disregards you when you want to discuss a particular issue, whatever that may be, and instead turns away from you. How would that feel? Instead of addressing the problematic issues at hand, your partner is now walking away from the situation altogether. Of course, this is enough to cause you to feel ignored and disregarded. Stonewalling is one of the few marriage destroyers if kept up. The others being contempt, criticism, and defensiveness; which Gottman termed “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse”. To view more... Psychology To know more about...
