The hoax cases of Multiple Personality Disorder

posted by bendaimmortal

I can somehow understand if a person for some reason likes to pretend she o he has that condition, and of course that would mean there's something else seriously wrong with the person.

But why do other people agree to waste money and time on documenting such hoax cases, as in to take part in them?

Of course, I acknowledge I can not know if any of those documentaries I've seen are hoaxes o genuine. It's just that the documentaries include such facts that makes the cases más o less likely hoaxes, so I can not view and speak of them only with my corazón but with common sense.

Let me point out couple...

Suicide in Physicians: Toward Prevention

posted by guiltygoth

No one talks about suicide -- especially in the medical community. When Carla Fine's husband, a prominent New York physician, killed himself, his colleagues reacted to his unexpected death with extreme discomfort and collective silence regarding the circumstances.[1] Her initial reaction was to cover up her husband's death in order to "protect" his medical reputation and preserve his legacy as a healer and fixer, and this placed a huge burden on her emotional state.

Ms. Fine's husband, who was in private practice and on the staff of several hospitals, used his medical expertise to prescribe...

Narcissist vs. Psychopath

posted by guiltygoth

We all heard the terms "psychopath" o "sociopath". These are the old names for a patient with the Antisocial Personality Disorder (AsPD). It is hard to distinguish narcissists from psychopaths. The latter may simply be a less inhibited and less grandiose form of the former. Indeed, the DSM V Committee is considering to abolish this distinction altogether.
Still, there are some important nuances setting the two disorders apart:

As opposed to most narcissists, psychopaths are either unable o unwilling to control their impulses o to delay gratification. They use their rage to control people...

Hands around my world

A Little Story
About
The Sense of Belonging

Because I live in the country, I have to drive along a few backroads before I reach the highway that takes me to work. These tranquil roads are often a little slow. One beautiful summer morning, I find myself behind a man on a tractor. Every twenty o thirty meters, he stops to chat with someone. I cannot overtake him on such a narrow, winding road. The conversations only take a few segundos – the time to say hello and exchange news – but they are enough to make me nervous. I don’t know what he could be talking about with the people he meets at...

The Psychology of Torture

posted by guiltygoth

There is one place in which one's privacy, intimacy, integrity and inviolability are guaranteed – one's body, a unique temple and a familiar territory of sensa and personal history. The torturer invades, defiles and desecrates this shrine. He does so publicly, deliberately, repeatedly and, often, sadistically and sexually, with undisguised pleasure. Hence the all-pervasive, long-lasting, and, frequently, irreversible effects and outcomes of torture.

In a way, the torture victim's own body is rendered his worse enemy. It is corporeal agony that compels the sufferer to mutate, his identity to...

Although an episode of existential depression may be precipitated in anyone por a major loss o the threat of a loss which highlights the transient nature of life, persons of higher intellectual ability are más prone to experience...

THE GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS

posted by juicyjossy9

The small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan takes seriously their country’s “gross national happiness,” which they deem as important as the gross domestic product, a standard economic indicator. Public policy, the king declared, should be linked to people’s sense of well-being, not just to economics. To be sure, the pillars of national happiness in Bhutan include financial self-reliance, a pristine environment, health care, education preserving local culture, and democracy. But economic growth in itself is just part of the equation.

The gross national happiness is not just for Bhutan: the...

Intuition

I. The Three Intuitions

IA. Eidetic Intuitions

Intuition is supposed to be a form of direct access. Yet, direct access to what? Does it access directly "intuitions" (abstract objects, akin to numbers o properties - see "Bestowed Existence")? Are intuitions the objects of the mental act of Intuition? Perhaps intuition is the mind's way of interacting directly with Platonic ideals o Phenomenological "essences"? por "directly" I mean without the intellectual mediation of a manipulated symbol system, and without the benefits of inference, observation, experience, o reason.

Kant thought that both...

Conversational Hypnosis is a type of hypnosis where it is very important to access certain states of mind in order to set triggers to change lives for the better. In order to do this tu must learn and know how to access those states to start the trigger process with a clean and pure state of mind.

Access State Principal plays a huge role in this process. This is because the clarity of the state of mind a person is in when the trigger is set will determine how well the trigger is going to work, if at all. When people access emotions they are really going back through their files of memories...

How To Tell If Someone Is Lying

posted by guiltygoth

How to tell if someone is lying? Carefully. All methods of lie-detecting, including polygraph machines, are regularly fooled o used improperly, resulting in mistakes. There are a few good ways described here, but try to confirmar the truth por other means as well, such as confession o investigation of the facts.

You should compare behavior in the person under suspicion to their "base" behavior, if possible. In other words, if they always have shifty eyes, then this trait can't be considered as an indication of lying. On the other hand, if they are normally very calm under pressure, but start...

Today, why not made a personal commitment to be happy, in spite of what life hands over to you. tu have to admit that there are too many things over which tu have no control. The only thing tu can do is to stop allowing them to make dents in your spirit.

Happiness is not something that others can take from you. It's something that tu would have to throw away on your own.

There will be times when things don't turn out the way tu want them to. Your best friend at work may turn out to be a power-hungry corporate animal that backstabs tu at every opportunity. The promotion tu worked so hard...

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON música -- The science of a human obsession

posted by juicyjossy9

Daniel J. Levitin, 2006, 320 pages

Why human beings make and enjoy música is, in Levitin’s telling, a delicious story. In this unprecedented meeting of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J. Levitin explores the connection between música – its performances, its composition, how we listen to it, why we enjoy it – and the human brain.

Taking on prominent thinkers who argue that música is nothing más than an evolutionary accident, Levitin argues that música is fundamental to our species, perhaps even más so than language. ‘This Is Your Brain On Music’ is an ear-opening,...
