POPSThe Romeo and Juliet Effect: Why Christians Keep Having Sex Before Marriage A pretty interesting article, apparently written by an "evangelical" explaining why teens will continue to have sex before marriage & where society fails in stopping it. Personally, i have no issue with sex before marriage as long as both are consenting and mature enough to understand the ramifications physically, psychologically & socially. The meat of the article is further down, with some pretty interesting figures such as: The flash memory of mobile phones taken from (Saudi Arabian) teenagers showed 69.7% of 1,470 files saved in them were pornographic and 8.6% were related to violence.

POPSHmm: Internet porn prevents rapes (Slate, Oct 2006) The article has an interesting couple paragraphs on porn: "Similarly, psychologists have found that male subjects, immediately after watching pornography, are more likely to express misogynistic attitudes. But as professor Kendall points out, we need to be clear on what those experiments are testing: They are testing the effects of watching pornography in a controlled laboratory setting under the eyes of a researcher. The experience of viewing porn on the Internet, in the privacy of one's own room, typically culminates in a slightly messier but far more satisfying experience—an experience that could plausibly tamp down some of the same aggressions that the pornus interruptus of the laboratory tends to stir up. In other words, if you want to understand the effects of on-screen sex and violence outside the laboratory, psych experiments don't tell you very much. Sooner or later, you've got to look at the data."

POPSPsychiatric Emergency Rooms are Appalling My dissertation research uncovered dozens of stories of abusive and incompetent psychiatric emergency rooms. I hope at least these woman's death will draw attention to an invisible and longstanding American problem.

POPSPoignant view of bag lady from Psych Nurse When we closed asylums because they were awful, our mentally ill weren't provided for. They now reside in prisons and on the streets! We pass them by and blame their plight on them. Some drink to self-medicate their psychiatric illnesses. When will we spend a little to treat and care for our fellow human instead of spending more later to treat the terrible results?

POPSPron company tries to datamine facebook, gets sued Datamining sites like this is nothing new. The new thig is basically that many people (me included) put much of thier life ont ehse sites. We assume the provider is doing everything it can to protect our privacy (in Facebook's case, this seems to be a problem that keeps rearing its ugly head). The info I have on Facebook I'm not worried about. I'm not really paranoid. I'm sure with teh right datamining & analysis tools once could beuild a rather impressive psych profile of me. So what? If I was in the states or Britian, I might be more worried.

POPSMental Care Falls Short for Vets While its easy to remember those soldiers who are injured physically, there are many more that are suffering mentally. Not that one trauma is any worse or better than the other, more attention needs to be paid to the thousands of veterans that are suffering mentally and facing substandard care.

POPSPredicting Psychosis in Youth When Virginia Tech occurred, I was so annoyed by people saying that you cannot predict psychosis. Of course, you can if you have solid mental health training. Maybe not perfectly, but enough to know when someone needs help.
