Comment on Monogamy. Marriage. Divorce. by Dima

Thanks for your comments!

I agree that being married contributes to feelings of happiness, but only if it is a good/successful marriage where both partners share responsibilities, affectionate feelings and care for one another. In such cases, research indicates that being married adds longevity and better health as well. However, we all known there are people who are miserable in their committed relationships, let alone those who suffer abuse. Happiness would not describe their relationships, it’s marital bliss gone wrong. In such cases, people should have the option of walking away.

Comment on The Disturbed Child by Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman

A fine discussion here.

Parenting a child who has experienced chronic early maltreatment is very challenging and difficult. For those who may be interested, I’ve co-edited a book for such families. The basic approach is Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy, which is an evidence-based, effective, and empirically validated treatment. The approach is grounded in attachment theory and is fully compliant with the ATTACh White Paper Against Coercion and their professional Practice Manual and Therapeutic Parenting Manual (see http://www.ATTACh.org)
The book is Attachment Parenting: Developing Connections and Healing Children. See

I was thinking about the same thing. Sometimes I just don’t understand how folks can think you’re not right.

Comment on Brain and Development affected after Child Abuse by Patricia

My husband and I adopted our daughter 9 years ago when she was 6. She comes from an abused back ground and I now find that her comprehension is very poor. What can I do to help her understand and analize.

Many thanks

Comment on Drinking age of 21 merely an inadequacy? by Miriam

Miriam — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 05:35:14 +0000

Dima,

I am glad someone realized that maturity and self-control as pertained to drinking has little to do with age. I am sadden by the increased in binge drinking among college students yet I am not surprised. Last week I was watching Gossip Girl, they are in college now, and I don’t think there has been one single episode in which they haven’t been drinking. Obviously they are underage! and the media is endorsing such behavior as reckless as it is. I think part of the solution lies on educating the youth on the effects of alcohol consumption.

Thank you for exploring this topic on your blog.
