As a psychotherapist, I have made several dents in schizophrenia patients. Milton Erickson's success in denting a schizophrenia patient was to sit beside him on a park bench, mimicking the patient's every move and sound, until the patient was dented.


Great work! Truly, no sarcasm.

I must say, that that method takes a lot of patience, commitment, and attention to detail. I applaud any therapist willing to do this long term with his/her patient.

Wow, just.....wow
There's enough dysfunction there to occupy a small army of therapists for a decade

Anyone else think the decrease in usage is simply due to real drug treatment programs being FAR more effective at reducing recidivism than simple imprisonment?


Yes. The first time I heard the anecdote about Portugal's "legalization" having reduced usage, it sounded like some sort of libertarian misrepresentation of facts. Sure enough, it absolutely was. No legalization, just decriminalization, and the state "punishes" some drug users with a trip to talk to a therapist, and provides drug addiciton treatment for those who want it.

So basically, compulsory socialized medicine reduced usage.

I'll gladly credit decriminalization with the other positive effects, and I'm definitely on the legalize/decriminalize bandwagon, let's just not go nuts and start pretending that the best way to reduce the commission of illegal acts is to legalize it.

Good lard! Hope these boys can find a good therapist when they grow up.

Picard had to have a special chair installed on his bridge so that his therapist could sit next to him at all times.

Yes, all these Republicans are 'for the children' when it suits their political agenda. Now, given the 28 million children, under the age of 19, do not have any health insurance or coverage of any type. Why, are these same Republicans, against health care for children? OR The care takers (whether they be parents or legal guardians) who make sure they get to school, stay out of trouble & drugs, grow up healthy?
If they are so 'concern' for the welfare of those in their state, why not the actual health and ability to seek care from medical doctors? Dentists? Therapists?
After all, how many people, suffering from say, depression, have access to firearms? But not a medical doctor who could diagnois their mental health?
I think these are fair and reasonable questions to ask these Republicans, who seem 'so' 'concern' for the 'welfare of children'.


I think you only watched the first one. The rest went on to say that this bill would be a terrible thing. Can I hit them now?

Personally, I would never suggest anyone go to a chiro who does manual manipulation. Mine does all adjustments by machine and there's no popping involved.

For treatment of my neck injuries, I saw both the chiropractor and a sports medicine doctor and physical therapist. Being put in traction by the PT was far more strenuous than anything my chiropractor has ever done.

I'm currently training to be a massage therapist, and chiropractic adjustments are outside the scope of my future practice. I can stretch someone's arm through a reasonable range of motions, but ultimately, I'm not aiming to make a joint produce a loud POP that is associated with chiropractic work.
I release trigger points. That can be painful, but there's a mountain of scientific data backing up trigger point therapy. Trigger points were first described, and their existence proven, back in the 1950s. "Knots" in muscular fiber fall into a state of constant contraction. Electrically, they behave differently from normal muscle tissue. I'd say a lot of people should probably be going to a massage therapist for chronic muscle and joint pain more than they should go to a chiropractor.

What the hell is chiropractic?


Chiropractic work involves joint manipulation, often to noisy results. A "Spinal Adjustment" accounts for a majority of Chiropractic practice visits. In California, at least, a Chiropractor needs just about as much training as a doctor in any other field to obtain a licence.

I love the whole "both sides of the story" thing. Like all issues only have 2 sides. It does make it easy I suppose to have, say, side 1 be the correct side and side 2 is the socialist, commie, grandma-killing side. Or the two sides are crazy, racist, teabagger vs. the correct side. I wonder what a therapist would say about the MSM's seeming tendency for black and white thinking?

I thought that segment was weird when i saw it. Combined with the therapist-thing before that, it felt like the writers had been replaced by temps or something.


I'd agree with the therapist bit. That was just terrible.

But I thought they stepped it up on this one!
