For me, this blog falls under the category of "Why didn't I find this before?" David Mcraney (who describes himself as a a journalist who loves psychology, technology and the internet") writes a provocative blog called You Are Not So Smart where he posts thoughtful musings about common "misconceptions", such as: Most opinions are the result of years of rational, objective analysis.In romance, opposites attract.After you learn something new, you remember how you were once ignorant or wrong.These ideas probably seem familiar to most of us psychology teacher-types - we talk about them (often in the research methods or social psych. chapters) and often they start lively, important discussions in the classroom. I've always wanted to have a psychological version of the great "Bad Astronomy" webpage, and this blog comes darn close, in a way.

I had a lovely young woman come in to tell a story of violence. She was claiming compensation for a specific event of violence. The premise of compensation is that society pays for an injury that results from the violence. Life or "functioning" in psychological speak has got to have got worse as a result of the violence to claim compensation. She had a miserable life. She lived in our very anglo-celtic town and was from a mixed heritage background. She suffered what we all dread for our children - merciless bullying. She was called ugly to her face because she had obvious racial characteristics thought unattractive by simple, basic, culturally poor children. I felt ashamed to be anglo. Her mother and father separated and her mother brought her up in way thought abusive in our culture, possibly just "traditional" in her own. Regardless the girl felt unloved and completely alone. She began self-harming with enthusiasm and began acting-out at home. The bullying continued well into...
