Random Question...

Angelheaded Hipster — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 04:56:27 GMT

Alright I'm a Psychology nut...like planning on spending the next 8 years doing in well alot more than that. Anyways my 3rd intro to psyche (Different schools) class final was 17 questions long. Would anyone else be offended by this. I voiced my opnion before the test even began and got a rather dirty look from the teacher. If your paying 800 bucks for a class wouldn't you like to get your moneys worth??

AUTISM DOES NOT BELONG HERE

Fri, 08 Sep 2006 23:13:00 GMT

Whoever started this tribe should have looked up Autism in a book that was written less than 25, 50 years ago. As the VERY PROUD & BLESSED mother of a wonderful Little boy on the Autism Spectrum , I found the discription of your tribe INFURIATING. Unfortunately for YOU it also flushes any credibility you may have had as some one who knows ANYTHING about ANYTHING down the toilet. Abnormal Psychology Indeed. Maybe Ignorant psychology, or perhaps incompetent psychology would be more appropriate for anyone who would lump Autism in with the rest of these. Do the world a favor and read up on RECENT BOOKS an the subject of Autism BEFORE you start a tribe. Autistic people arent CRAZY. Theyre precious and gifted, and much MUCH SMARTER than you obviously are. It's people like you who will do nothing but make my sons life harder in this world with your RIDICULOUS NOTION that a person on the Autism spectrum is nuts. God Help Us. I'll pray for ya.

Personality Disorders

Poster_Boy — Thu, 13 Jul 2006 00:51:40 GMT

I have had some rather nasty experinences with some people who (in my opinion) seem to have personality disorders. Namely, these people were psychopaths. I invited them to live with me, and they did their best to try and utterly destroy me.

has anyone else here had a similar experience?

unabridged psychology textbook

prometheusPAN — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 20:53:54 GMT

I am interested in writing a collaborative and cooperative unabridged textbook on psychology. Minus propaganda, minus psychology history, minus psychology personalities,
and minus the usual ego bickering that is usually presented.

Anybody here interested in that?

What would you list as major chapters?

Any thoughts on how to write a better textbook?

Natural/Holistic Drug-free Treatments for Schizophrenia?

Cybornian3rdIgAtO — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 01:39:43 GMT

Hello,

If I can please explain my situation briefly and hopefully you can somehow help me or at best point me towards the information I need. A close friend of mine (my girlfriend's mother) has some sort of depression/schizophrenia for over 20 years now and has been on prescription drugs since first diagnosed. We are seeking out natural and holistic methods to treat her. Would you please be so kind if you can and share some information on the matter? Be it direct experiences, referrals, techniques, website links, books or any type of info that would help.

Thank you.
Peace and much love!

Psychonautics Advanced

PANZalt — Tue, 25 Jul 2006 00:11:40 GMT

There are other tribes which cover specific plants,
and specific practices, and a psychonauts tribe, however, those tribes are conversational more than educational. This tribe will attempt to answer 5 main
questions. 1. How can we obtain altered states of consciousness? 2. How can we help other people
in their lives and stresses? 3. What do the worlds religious paradigms have to offer in terms of specifically adressing how to obtain altered states of consciousness? 4. What does modern Psychology
have to offer us in terms of obtaining altered states
of consciousness? 5. How does ethics fit into all of this?
This tribe is for serious exploration and exists to facilitate personal evolution, as well as to help participants to help others in real life situations using
the principles they learn here.
This tribe aims to meet the educational needs of the general public, and to act as an educational and informational resource regarding Psychonautics, Psychology, Self Help, Ethics, Entheogens, Ritual,
Religion+Spirituality, Sociology, And Political Ramifications of Psychonautics.

Issue

heatheroni — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 19:03:08 GMT

I have only just popped into this tribe, and I'm afraid that I have a complaint to make straight off. The following is the description of this tribe:

>>For the discussion of abnormal psychology. Depression, Schizophrenia, Autism, Anorexia, Substance Abuse, etc. etc. etc.......<<

As a parent of an autistic child, I feel that I have to point this out: Autism does not belong in the same categories as these others. It is not a psychological disorder. The idea that it was was discredited 40 plus years ago. It is a neurological and developmental disorder.

I realize that this is a small and little used tribe, but I hate the idea of this mis-information perpetuating in any way. It is simply not correct.
