This blog covers mental health, drugs and psychotherapy with an emphasis on the role of family dysfunction in behavioral problems. It discusses how family systems issues have been denigrated in psychiatry in favor of a disease model for everything by a combination of greedy pharmaceutical and managed care insurance companies, naïve and corrupt experts, twisted science, and desperate parents who want to believe that their children have a brain disease to avoid an overwhelming sense of guilt.

50 Excellent Therapists Who Blog
Here's a website with an excellent list of blogs by psychotherapists:
You posted a still from HBO's *In Treatment* ... How do you like that show, David? When I first saw it, I thought, "Aw, geez -- this guy's going to be like all the other nicey-nicey woo-woo 'therapists' (as people in our profession tend to be portrayed on TV)" ... but no! :-) I'm watching the second season on DVD right now ... am riveted ...
Congrats on having your blog chosen for the list on Nursingschools.net!
Thanks. Love "In Treatment." Best dramatic portrayal of psychodyanmic psychotherapy ever, although with the 30 minute sessions and an arc of only a few sections, the therapist in the show starts making confrontations and interpretations way too quickly.
