As a therapist and clinical social worker many of the therapists I refer clients to are therapists whom I've met at conferences and whom I've had the privilege of hearing speak. Therefore I know that they're qualified. Conversely, the therapists whom I've had the best personal success with as a client have published writings. The benefit of this was that I was able to get a feeling for the work they do before starting with them.
Over half of the work I currently do with clients is being done over the telephone. (Visit my blog at: http://www.effectivefamilycommunication.com for more information about this). But regardless of whether it's in person or over the telephone and regardless of where the referal is coming from, the most important thing to remember (which this article neglected to state) is:

The problem with trusting our intuition is that sometimes our intuition leads us to what is familiar rather than to what will be helpful. As a trauma survivor, I was repeatedly drawn to therapists with poor boundaries because that's what felt "right" and normal to me. What I needed to do, and this took many years of mistakes and disastrous treatment before I learned it, was to work with a therapist whose style felt uncomfortable and distant to me. That has been enormously helpful in teaching me that poor boundaries don't equate with true caring and concern, and that good interpersonal boundaries do not mean that the person is uncaring and cold. Discovering this through years of hard work with a therapist committed to sticking with me despite my sometimes harrowing difficulties in respecting his boundaries has taught me more about myself and my patterns in relationships than I ever thought possible. It gave me the tools I needed to break free from a lifetime pattern of trusting a faulty intuition that repeatedly led me to develop relationships with other people who had poor boundaries like myself.
- Mr. Mike 2:56 pm on May 24th, 2014
Wow, I have not thought of boundaries (or lack there-of) in this manner. I currently have poor boundaries myself and look upon strict boundaries as lacking trust or care. I am giving this some significant thought and reconsidering the way I build relationships. As such, I am reconsidering the way I will approach my therapy. Thank you for your insight!
Such an important point, Bonnie. I have had a similar experience with my own long-term therapist; I initially believed I needed someone 'warmer'. I know now that her good boundaries felt frightening to me, because I didn't know how to read her/manage my own anxiety regarding her being a separate person.

Plus, if you live in Australia, getting a referral from the GP means that you will get a rebate off the therapy sessions price.

Why not look for a therapist on craiglist? I post there all the time. It's free. It reaches my target market of young adults. I link to my webpage with pages of information about my approach. I also have a listing on PT, which costs more than every other marketing source I use combined and generates very few leads and seems to be used mainly by older people, outside of my target market who don't know how to use the internet to find things very well. I have an MA in Counselling Psychology, years of experience, and try to reach my clients where I am likely to find them. If you don't like craigslist, don't use it, but don't slam those of us who do.
- Bo 10:15 am on January 27th, 2010
Also, when promoting the PT website, you might want to mention that the PT site is the source of the therapist listing on PsychCentral, so that people know that you are recommending the directory that is used by the site you work for. I think PT is a bad resource for therapists with their own website–there are dozens and dozens of therapist listed for my city. And it can be overwhelming for clients to have to try to sort out whom to contact, especially with the tiny 200-words of informatino therpists are allowed to provide. PT is a good way of finding out which therapists have read one of the dozens of How To Write a PT Listing that Attracts Clients, and gives little useful information about a therapst and has nothing to do with how effective a therapist is.
Again, not surprisng you list the directory used by your employers are PsychCentral as the best source.
- Mary Jane Hurley Brant 11:34 am on January 27th, 2010
Good and varied suggestions for finding a therapist, Dr. Aletta. I especially appreciated your suggestion of Google as a search engine or go to Yahoo.com and type in the name your are researching. The internet is clearly a thumbprint for learning and doing some research about anyone.
I would also consider a compassionate listener for a therapist, one who can hold our pain because he or she has identified his or her own personal agonies. I am of the belief that a therapist cannot take us beyond where he or she is emotionally – not even in the abstract.
I would also consider a therapist who holds a spiritual belief system and works within a frame work of appreciating that we are all brothers and sisters and when one of us in the earthly web is in pain we all feel the suffering.
Lastly, I think finding an encouraging, hopeful therapist vital because sometimes we don't think we will make it and we need someone to tell us that we will.
Kind regards,
Mary Jane Hurley Brant, M.S., CGP

For those fortunate to have insurance and are in a market with many treatment options: May I suggest my approach to at least narrowing down which therapists to consider: On y our insurance website, Print out a hard copy of ALL therapists within a certain radius of your zip code- 100, 200 of them is a good size – alphabetical is the best format. Then print out a "preferred list" and compare the two…I used bios printed out from PT.
The PT list great for first, finding therapists with the wrong specialties and crossing them off! From there – I had several dozen bios of those interested in my needs. Cross check to see who is on your inrurance list. Remember that insurance lists can be incomplete, so if you really like someone – call then first and ask them directly, (Same goes for double checking the insurance thing with all other therps you contact.) Anyway, you will wind up with a decent-sized list of interesting therapists who also take your insurance plan. Then dedice on an order to contact them – closest first? MSWs first?
Then, the most important work: call to see who has openings, do the initial phone screening – and whenever you can, initial visit. And ask beforehand to get the initial visit FREE because you are interviewing THEM as the customer, too. And if it is not a match, ask for the names of "2 or 3" colleagues – a little appreciation went a long way for me in one therapist digging deep on my behalf. And don't give up.
- Elvira G. Aletta, Ph.D. 12:28 pm on January 27th, 2010
Thanks so much for all your comments. Just to be clear, I only meant this article to be about collecting a few names of potential therapists, the first step in the process. The next steps are about narrowing down the field, making the initial appointment and finally, assessing whether or not the they are a good fit for you going forward.
All additions to finding a good therapist are greatly appreciated. Everyone makes good points.
Bo, I did mention that Psychology Today in used by PsychCentral, although not explicitly. I said "this website." I appreciate what you say about craigslist. My caveat has to do with many unqualified people advertising services there which may be difficult for a lot of people to navigate.
Cross referencing, not just using one source, as suggested by several commenters is a very good idea.
- Paper Roses 1:07 pm on January 27th, 2010
Another excellent way of finding a good therapist:
If you have found a book to be particularly helpful, such a a book on marriage or self-esteem. The book may have mentioned a type or style of therapy used by or recommended by the author, such as cognitive therapy or emotionally focused couple therapy or imago therapy.
You can look these up on the inter-net and often find a link to therapists in the area who use these methods.
You can simply type the name of the author or book and he or she may have a website with links for therapists that have studied their treatment style.
- D.E. Hill 9:14 pm on January 27th, 2010
Go through your list such as from your EAP provider or insurance. Start making phone calls. If you find a some relatively hard to make an appointment with such as 6,8 weeks out make an appointment with one of them. However, if you find they can see you next week or 2 or 3 weeks, then you might avoid those!
- Mark Rogers 1:26 pm on January 29th, 2010
For those without insurance, try calling your local community mental health agency. Local crisis centers can provide leads for people. Word-of-mouth advertising is reliable. Asking other personally known professionals (dentist, family doctor) or a priest, rabbi or minister can be helpful. If the counselor can provide the initial assessment free-of-charge, it can be at that time when the decision to continue or not is made.
- Carole 7:33 pm on February 21st, 2010
My first choice in finding a good therapist/psychologist would be to ask which ones work well with my psychiatrist. Since it is important to build a "team" for your support system, finding professionals that work well together is a key factor. After getting some names, I would check to see that they were covered by insurance and then make an appointment with one of them… and continue down the list until I found one that I could work well with.
- fastrabbit 7:08 pm on February 27th, 2010
a good therapist must be unbiased and with no religious affiliation–prefer an athiest or agnostic person and be very logical in thinking.
I'm totally unbiased and freethinking and gay. Also a male therapist who's gay would be more understanding.
a female therapist is too maternalistic in thinking. A gay male point of view is helpful.
- freefallen 2:00 pm on March 8th, 2010
It's a shame but we tend to put more thought into finding the right car to buy than finding the right therapist to go to.
Finding a good therapist is often done by word of mouth or through ones Primary Care Physician. Then you have to interview them and decide if you might be able to work with the therapist. If you don't feel it is a good fit, leave and don't look back. You don't have to stay, your not obligated. Shop around. Phone Books and the Internet are ways to advertise but it doesn't mean you know what (who) you are getting. Be careful of the therapist who is an expert in everything.
There are many types of therapists and therapies.
Some Psychiatrists only prescribe medications (medication management)and only spend about 15 – 20 minutes with you after your initial consultation. They may or may not take insurance and can be very expensive.
Some Psychiatrists provide both medication management and therapy. They offer both an expertise in medicine and mental health but may not take insurance and can be very expensive and are not necessarily any better than other therapists. You don't always get what you pay for no matter what Freud said
Some Mental Health Psychiatric Nurse work with Psychiatrist and only provide medication management but many also combine both strong medical and mental health knowledge to provide both medication management and therapy. They usually accept insurance.
Psychologists, PsyD's, Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Licensed Certified Counselors have a stong background in Mental health. They provide therapy but with the exception of a few Psychologist, they do not have the medial knowledge and are not licensed to prescribe medicatioin. They will refer you to another provider for medication management. Most of these therapist accept insurance.
Credentials are important but so is experience. No matter who you choose to see for therapy, it is imperative that you feel comfortable enough with the person to develop a strong therapeutic alliance /relationship. It is in that alliance /relationship that you can begin to heal. You must be able to trust and feel safe with your therapist. Bottom line is your mental health. If you don't feel you are getting better with your therapist….don't wait 2 or 3 years to change. Move on.
Hope this is helpful in some way.

Psychology Today has some "therapist" listed who are not licensed in their state but are "pastoral or spiritual counselors". They often say they are licensed because they join a pseudo-professional group that calls their membership a "license". This is not state licensure and is and to make them look legitimate. While most of psychology today appear to be properly licensed, there are some who are not trained and practicing illegally.

For those seeking Group Therapy, a great resource to check is FindGroupTherapy.Com (www.findgrouptherapy.com) – a large directory site of therapy groups nationwide. Mental Health Professionals are encouraged to add their group listings.
- bitz 7:06 pm on January 4th, 2011
Great article. Thanks for addressing this issue with such care. I think it's critical that you meet with several (at least 3) clinicians before you plant yourself in the treatment. Also a very interesting point made by Bonnie B. in response to your article– the issue of "trusting your intuition" is a complicated one, clinically speaking. Certainly, you want to be sure you feel safe with the therapist you decide to work with, but sometimes, therapists that make you a little uncomfortable (in the right way) are doing the deeper work– that work that makes you have to stretch and grow. Sometimes, you might even have to feel worse in order to
feel better.
- Leanne Watt, Ph.D. 12:53 pm on January 6th, 2011
Thank you for the very thoughtful and helpful article on finding a good therapist. Your inclusion of the Skype/phone option was a wise one, especially for patients in rural areas or living abroad. As a clinical psychologist in Pasadena, CA, I've tried to help a few patients find therapy referrals for family members living in small cities. It's been very difficult to find good clinicians for those people who are living outside of large cities– Skype/phone tx is a wonderful alternative in those cases.
Another thought when looking for a good therapist– for those with a limited budget needing a more intensive type of psychotherapy, contact a local psychoanalytic institute (if you live in a big city). Many institutes offer lower fee "psychodynamic" or "psychoanalytic" style therapy with skilled and often very seasoned clinicians. For those who have grown suspicious of long-term and intensive psychotherapy, there is a great article that details all the empirical (research) evidence supporting the benefits of psychodynamic psychotherapy. In fact, several studies suggest that this type of therapy has longer-lasting positive effects than cognitive behavioral therapy. Unfortunately, the research highlighting the benefits of psychodynamic treatment is not very widely disseminated, and there is a definite push towards shorter-term treatments by the insurance companies, even though certain conditions (chronic anxiety & depressions complicated by personality disorders) respond more positively to the psychodynamic approach to treatment. Here's a link to this study: http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/amp-65-2-shedler.pdf
- DrJWB 10:31 pm on January 6th, 2011
Good thoughts, Dr. Aletta. I've been advertising with Psychology Today since its inception. It is a good resource for sure– one of the first out there to offer profiles for the public's perusal of various therapist and psychologists. Only problem i have with them is that they were "overly-inclusive"– there are so many names in their directory now that there that it no longer serves as a referral source for me. Just not the best value from an advertiser's point of view, but still good for the consumer, since there are so many profiles to review.

Ask your accountant? Are you for real? WTF would an accountant know and why would I want to ask them that. It would be totally awkward.
I think a big issue you forgot to mention is the approach a therapist takes and how that meets your needs. I don't know about the US, but here in Australia there are associations for different branches os psychotherapy.
So far the best advice comes from Ben Klempner, MSW, check to see who has published. That way at least you know you've found someone passionate enough to write for purposes of change for the better. Or you found another egotist who thinks they can save the world one patient on their couch at a time.
Personally, I have had a terrible time finding someone. Psychologists are not rated, not required to be rated. We need them to be. We need a numeric scale for this too often ambiguous trade. 1 being least helpful in a disease or category and 5 would be most helpful. e.g. Locality 3. Child psychology 2. Trauma recovery 3. Adults 4. Bipolar 3. Abuse 5. Menopause 2. Women specialty 4. Men 3. Sexuality 2. Seniors 5. and so forth.
Of course the arrogance and narcissism within psychology means this will never get done. It allows patients make judgments about who they are based on the numbers they currently hold, and "not my long developed methodology that makes me different from my peers!"
- Online Therapist 2:51 pm on January 28th, 2014
Many people like the convenience of online therapy and it is certainly a good choice if you are living abroad or if you cannot leave home. I have helped many clients recover from agoraphobia and chronic anxiety via Skype.

As a trauma victim, I will never trust another therapist EVER. I'd say to be very careful in telling them how you feel, which is what I thought you went to them for. As a rape/hostage/assault victim, once released from the hospital and while in the hospital hooked up to a heart monitor, my therapist sent me an email to dismiss himself as my therapist. I am left with no doctor, medicine, therapist and no not calling 911 or some local crisis center and having to start my trauma all over again. Through with therapist as this one only wanted the money, 2-3 times a week, I drove 2 hrs. to see him for 5 months, the night of the hospital I was having he said flashbacks from the truama, don't remember anything of that night and even while in the hospital or after hardly which he had said was part of the the PTSD. Well if so, then where is he Don't Therapist have certain professional code of ethics to have to be accountable for. I was left in a crisis, past opened up and it had taken me 30 years to find someone to open up to and I have to say although just a LPC, he had made me feel safe enough to open up to, not angry, just hurt as a patient and left very depressed and I will never ever be able to find peace ever in my life because the trauma from this experience has left me in a deep depression and I didn't even have depression before he betrayed me and ran away during my darkest time in dealing with this. He had said, I will be right there with you, I can handle this, I won't quit, I won't let you quit, you can tell me anything…etc. etc NEVER AGAIN. God will be the only therapist I will ever trust. I'd say to be sure you check reviews, ask at your church, ask friends, look at their training, don't just go to a LPC…although he was easy to talk to, etc. I think he just didn't know how to react in a crisis situation and it has given me no hope to ever find the peace. He knows the rapist lives in my town and I can't go to anyone here. NOTHING that could happen to me now can top the trauma he has caused me. I trusted him and to be honest it just hurts. I encourage Rape victims to see help when it first happens, in my day, you didn't do that, you just didn't.. I lived with this for 30 years and I only wanted a little bit of peace.. just peace.
- Online Therapist 6:39 pm on March 13th, 2014
Whenever you are selecting a therapist make sure that you feel comfortable talking to him or her and that their approach feels right for you. Also, think about Online Therapy – it has a lot of advantages over older styles of therapy, especially if using Skype.
- Saul J. Stern, LMFT 2:41 pm on April 8th, 2014
These are very sound suggestions for what is a difficult task. Right fit is required on so many levels. I would add that specific training in the area of concern is absolutely essential. Sure many therapists will claim to treat everything from A to Z, but even if there is some truth, you really don't want to be treated by a Jack-of-all-trades. For example, an addiction counselor should have CASAC or something similar, and for couples, training/certification, e.g., Imago, EFT or Gottman, makes a huge difference. Never be afraid to ask for specific qualifications – they are essential!
- Donald Roberts 3:48 pm on December 2nd, 2014
I personally do not like local directories because anyone can list their businesses there. I would prefer to have Google search instead and read reviews there and make a short list by contacting them over phone.
- Complexx80 11:46 am on July 8th, 2015
This entire article and comment thread is a crock. Don't you think we have tried all of these suggestions? Anyone with a great word of mouth recommendation is already booked solid because they are great. Anyone else is great in the first session then just asks "how does that make you feel" in subsequent sessions. I've had "good therapists" who are listed on this website forget that I was there in their office the week before and made me tell my entire life story to them again. What a waste of my time!
- jessica alcaide 9:28 pm on February 28th, 2016
i have been slammed around by the medical field for 13 solid years.i've gotten 2 yrs in tears,got 2 4 years nearly loose it themselves and got put up against 4 forensic shrinks(they are something else all together-hum)i'd look up who accepts your health coverage.then look each place/person on the BBB or trusted/credentialed site to get an idea of an order to try.how well does he/she not just listen but can process,interpret but tell you so you can confirm/be all involved.also,medications,if they make no effort understanding medications you are prescribed and basic blood results if you have more severe disorders and/or cross spectrum's of medicine-a must or you will drown.

text: Ohhh dear. Whitney Port, the moon-faced silent observer on MTV's meditative study of San Andrean ennui The Hills, is rumored to be getting her own spin-off. You'll recall, because you all dutifully watch the show, that last season ended with Port working harder and harder at People's Revolution, a bicoastal fashion PR company run by the fearsome Kelly Cutrone. The show, hopefully to be titled A Girl at Every Port, will follow her as she bops back and forth between the sun-soaked enclaves of the city of lost angels and the dark, steamy corners of grayest Gotham. While in New York, she's scheduled to pal around with socialite/fashion person/sometimes blogger Olivia Palermo. The two will undoubtedly stare at each other, with increasingly bizarre facial expressions, until one of them cracks and says "Umm, yeah" and the episode ends with a soaring emo-pop ballad. Whitney is my favorite character on the show and actually seems to, you know, work, so I might actually be excited about this. Or I might be weeping internally.

The Stunning Success of "Fail Better"
How Samuel Beckett became Silicon Valley's life coach.
What has happened here, I suppose, is that a small shard of a fragmentary and difficult work of literature has been salvaged from the darkness of its setting, sanded and smoothed of the jagged remnants of that context. This is the process by which a piece of writing becomes a quote, a saying—a linguistic object whose meaning is readily apparent, useful, and endlessly transferable, like a coin in the currency of wisdom.
Fail Better, with its TEDishly counterintuitive feel, is the literary takeaway par excellence; it's usefully suggestive, too, of the corporate propaganda of productivity, with its appeals to "think different" or "work smarter" or "just do it." And the fact is that these six telegraphic bursts of exhortation actually work pretty well as a personal motto, once that sanding and smoothing has been completed. They are also—and this is crucial, though obviously not something Beckett would have had in mind—eminently tweetable; the whole thing comes in at just 69 characters, which leaves people plenty of room for whatever commentary or show of approval they might want to append.
The entrepreneurial fashion for failure with which this polished shard fits so snugly is not really concerned, as Beckett was, with failure per se—with the necessary defeat of every human endeavor, of all efforts at communication, and of language itself—but with failure as an essential stage in the individual's progress toward lucrative self-fulfillment. Failure, in the #failbetter sense, is something to be embraced and celebrated, to be approached with a view to understanding how it might most effectively be transmuted into success. (Dave McClure, the founder of the 500 Startups incubator, told Fast Company that "the alternate name we came up with for 500 Startups was 'fail factory.' We're here trying to 'manufacture fail' on a regular basis, and we think that's how you learn.")
When I think about how Beckett's words have been quotationalized in this way, pressing him into service as a kind of highbrow motivational thought-leader, I find myself thinking of how his wife Suzanne Déchevaux-Dumesnil reacted to the news of his being awarded the Nobel Prize in 1969: "Quelle catastrophe!" This isn't to imply that the way in which the Worstward Ho quotation has been "pivoted"—to use a phrase beloved of the entrepreneurial champions of the Fail Better ethos—is any kind of serious disaster for Beckett but rather to illustrate that his attitude toward success and failure was more complex and perverse than this interpretation suggests. (Although it's easy to imagine that he might have been rooting for Wawrinka on Sunday; Beckett was, for all his pessimism, a serious tennis enthusiast.)
As drastically funny as it often is, of course, Beckett's oeuvre as a whole is famously low on positive vibes. ("Despair young and never look back," he once counseled the young Irish novelist Aidan Higgins.) The way in which these lines have become a standard of the personal boosterism repertoire is superbly ironic, and sort of wonderful in its way.
And when you restore the lines to their original context (a reversal that feels almost perverse now that they've come to seem so staunchly pro-business and pro-tennis), it's difficult to imagine a piece of writing less obviously ripe for the harvesting of uplifting phrases. Worstward Ho, it hardly needs saying, gets steadily less inspirational as it goes on. The paragraph that follows the Fail Better lines, for instance, is full of the kind of stuff that would actually be worse than useless as a motivational aid on the tennis court, or anywhere else. "Try again. Fail again. Better again. Or better worse. Fail worse again. Still worse again. Till sick for good. Throw up for good. Go for good. Where neither for good. Good and all." It will probably be a while before we see anyone winning a Grand Slam title with that tattooed on their arm.

Drummer, producer, author and all around music nerd Questlove is no stranger to controversy. He confessed his memoirs "Mo Metta Blues" that his witty banter (both spoken and played) has landed him in hot water on several occasions. As the man responsible for the walk on music for "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon", Quest played the song "Lyin' Ass Bitch" as Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann walked on stage. On a separate occasion he publicly chided Tina Fey for not waving at his band when she visited the show saying, "Be nice to The Roots." Lorne Michaels, executive producer of "Late Night," was not happy at the jab. Quest later apologized for both incidents.
Well, in his most recent faux pas Quest made light of Japanese people speaking English when he was on one of his many trips to the country. He wrote to his manager Dawn Englehart on his Instagram page, "hey @dawnenglehart is it racist for me to write the Sour Tlain? #chipanesedownunder2013″ next to a photo of a toy train he'd spotted. Questlove recently authored a book about the "Soul Train" television series.
Fans and followers expressed their disappointment in his lack of tact and not so subtle racial humor. Making matters worse , he also posted an Instagram video of a woman speaking Japanese, with his own spoken intro: "Ladies and gentlemen, they are talking in tongues."
Realizing that he had offended many of his fans and followers, and certainly not wanting to alienate an entire country full of people who support his music, Quest posted a lengthy apology on his Facebook page.
From Okayplayer.com:
ok. addressing the elephant in the room on christmas
unfortunately, i've offended my asian brothers & sisters with an IG post which i made during my recent tour of japan. in that post, i likened a japanese department store employee's vocal intonation to that of a (church) deacon speaking in tongues. clearly, i didn't intend to offend anyone (asian or otherwise), clearly, i *thought* that comparison was funny-cute
… and clearly i thought wrong.
in hindsight, it's easy to see how my post was yet another example of the ugly, american flipping yet another ugly/racially/culturally insensitive script. so, let me make this abundantly clear….

(written from a Production point of view)
Revelation and Dust is the first novel in the Star Trek: The Fall series. Written by David R. George III, the novel is expected to be published in August 2013. When first solicited, the novel carried the working title of Time and Revelation.
- Solicitation blurb
- After the destruction of the original space station by a rogue faction of the Typhon Pact, Miles O'Brien and Nog have led the Starfleet Corps of Engineers in designing and constructing a larger, more advanced starbase in the Bajoran system. Now, as familiar faces such as Benjamin Sisko, Kasidy Yates, Ezri Dax, Odo, and Quark arrive at the new station, Captain Ro Laren will host various heads of state to an impressive dedication ceremony. The dignitaries include not only the leaders of allies – such as Klingon Chancellor Martok, Ferengi Grand Nagus Rom, the Cardassian castellan, and the Bajoran first minister – but also those of rival powers, such as the Romulan praetor and the Gorn imperator. But as Ro's crew prepares to open DS9 to the entire Bajor Sector and beyond, disaster looms. A faction has already set in action a shocking plan that, if successful, will shake the Alpha and Beta Quadrants to the core.
- And what of Kira Nerys, lost aboard a runabout when the Bajoran wormhole collapsed? In the two years that have passed during construction of the new Deep Space 9, there have been no indications that the Celestial Temple, the Prophets, or Kira have survived. But since Ben Sisko once learned that the wormhole aliens exist nonlinearly in time, what does that mean with respect to their fate, or that of the wormhole... or of Kira herself?.

One-of-a-kind and capricious moments are offered in fatherhood. Times have changed quite a bit, when it comes to the outlook of fathers. However, very much has remained the same, and there are diverse attitudes and cultural norms existing today. It is not uncommon to hear a father say that they never grasped how satisfying it would be to become a father. Indeed, there are many different moment in which a father has a chance to make a big impression in their kids life. Doing the best job possible, despite all the hardships, allows each father to look back on it all and feel good.
Having babies in the bed with parents is an issue that gets a great deal of discussion. But this topic is one that always merits revisiting. Some additional benefits to co-sleeping involve the stronger bond that can be formed between parents and their baby. Since it is very common for both parents to work full time, then you can help offset missed time by co-sleeping. There's a valuable side effect of co-sleeping that impacts breast-feeding also. According to various studies, there are fewer breast-feeding problems encountered in such babies.
When getting the plans together for your vacation of a life time, go the extra mile to insure that everything goes according to plan. Your children are adaptable to the point of enjoying many bizarre vacations; as long as you have prepared for it. Keeping medical issues in mind could be a good idea, make sure there are available resources in case of an emergency. Remember to book travel plans according to how much you will need to be mobile during your vacation. There are some destinations that may not even be fit for adults to frequent. It would be a good idea to keep this info at hand as to enhance your vacation.
Changes in pressure or altitude during flights can cause ears to pop. Adults understand what to do in these situations; babies do not. We guarantee that you will not enjoy the experience if you do not take something for your baby to help get them through this experience. All your baby needs to do is continue sucking on a bottle nipple or the rubber pacifier. This action will eliminate most of the pressure in the ear.
All parents face a few challenges when raising their babies. However, learning to cope and successfully raise your baby into the formative years and later is rewarding and fun, nonetheless.

"Mathematics is biology's next microscope, only better." That's what the scientist Joel E Cohen once said of the power of mathematics to revolutionise biology and the biomedical sciences. And he was right. Maths enables scientists to understand complex organisms and diseases, it's crucial in developing sophisticated medical technology and materials, and we can even use it to model our psyche and intelligence. In this sense maths has become a genuine research instrument for biomedical sciences. The insight it gives them are on a par with the revolutionising power of the microscope.

How do you judge the risks and benefits of new medical treatments, or of lifestyle choices? With a finite health care budget, how do you decide which treatments should be made freely available on the NHS? Historically, decisions like these have been made on the basis of doctors' individual experiences with how these treatments perform, but over recent decades the approach to answering these questions has become increasingly rational.
Infectious diseases hardly ever disappear from the headlines — swine flu is only the last in a long list containing SARS, bird flu, HIV, and childhood diseases like mumps, measles and rubella. If it's not the disease itself that hits the news, then it's the vaccines with their potential side effects. It can be hard to tell the difference between scare mongering and responsible reporting,

Co-authored by James Lush, CaSE intern, and Imran Khan, CaSE Director
The Home Office's plans to restrict student visas present some potentially damaging implications for UK science and engineering. CaSE has responded to the consultation, here is a summary of our concerns and suggestions.
Language tests
The Government is planning to introduce tougher language tests for potential students. However, science and engineering are inherently international activities, with recognition based on academic merit.
Nearly 40% of the UK's scientific output from 2002-2007 involved international collaborations, so it is actually a positive aspect of UK higher education that students are exposed to a diverse peer group from the outset. Trying to filter out students who don't have brilliant English isn't helpful.
University departments threatened?
Teaching science and engineering often needs high levels of funding compared to other subjects. University departments therefore often rely on the cost-price fees charged to international students. By deliberately excluding them, some departments might have to shut, ironically threatening provision for home students.
Universities must therefore be allowed to determine their student intake purely on the merits of individual applicants. They can then take steps internally to ensure that non-native English speakers are given support to reach the required level.
Several more seemingly unfair limitations on international students – who could contribute to UK science and engineering – are of concern to us. From the perspective of wanting to attract the best students, it seems unreasonable to restrict students from taking a second degree, or require them to leave the UK in order to apply for a visa to come back. Again, this would undermine the academic meritocracy which underpins our science and engineering research base.
Post-study work and skills shortages
The government claims that "a student's primary motivation for coming to the UK should be the prospect of obtaining a world class education here, not of being able to work afterwards." This ignores the clear fact that it is in the UK's interest for students to want to work in science or engineering as a postgraduate, particularly in shortage areas.
At a time when the official Shortage Occupation List includes professions such as civil engineers, chemical engineers, veterinary surgeons, cardiac physiologists and many more, closing the Tier 1 post-study work (PSW) route sends completely the wrong message.
Building a high-tech economy
David Cameron recently talked of his hopes for the 'Silicon Roundabout' in Old Street, London. It is notable that its namesake, Silicon Valley, has relied heavily on an influx of migrants to allow its continued success. As Melanie Warner wrote in Fortune, "It's safe to say that without Indian immigrants the [Silicon] Valley wouldn't be what it is today".
Many of those immigrants went directly to Silicon Valley from institutions such as MIT. If we want to emulate that success, making it harder for top students to come and study here is the worst place to start.
How long to wait?
Restricting the entry of students to the UK with Tier 4 student visas could threaten our ability to attract the "brightest and best" students, something which Home Secretary Theresa May has spoken of as a key target.
The UKBA have asked what kind of timescale is required for evaluation of the changes, and we are clear that at least one full academic year is needed, so that their impact on educational institutions can be judged properly.

BAGHDAD (AP) -- The U.S. military says a 12-year-old girl was killed when American soldiers fired at a vehicle speeding toward them and Iraqi police near the northern city of Mosul.
The military says Americans fired two warning shots when the vehicle ignored signals for it to stop near the Hurriyah Iraqi police station.
The military says the girl was standing about 100 yards (meters) behind the vehicle and was struck by a round.
The military confirmed the details in response to a query by The Associated Press.
It says Monday's shooting is under investigation.
Iraqi police say the girl was shot while in a car with her father near an American base.
Insurgents remain active in Mosul and surrounding areas despite numerous military operations.

David PARTRIDGE, Painter And Sculptor (1919-2006)
With a 'virtuosity of hammering,' his hard-edged, tactile and sculptural Naillies transformed nails and wood into art forms that are both evocative and spiritual, writes Sandra MARTIN
By Sandra MARTIN, Page S11
What came first, the nail or the hammer? That is the question people ponder about artist David PARTRIDGE. Although he began his artistic career as a painter and a printmaker, he is best known for his Naillies. To create them, he would begin with a piece of plywood, although he was known to use doors, beams and other surfaces, which he sometimes covered in buffed or abraded aluminum. Then he would hammer in nails of all sorts (aluminum, copper and steel) and lengths, beginning with the shortest to create a "relief sculpture." According to his fancy, he polished or trimmed the hammered nail heads, wrapped the Naillie in duct tape to give the surface more texture and lacquered or painted portions of the finished work.
The Naillies were quite spectacular, said artist Tony URQUHART, who was mentored by Mr. PARTRIDGE in the 1950s. Although a very different type of artist, Mr. URQUHART also creates sculptural collages or "boxes" out of wood, nails and many other things. "They were things that had never been done before and they were made at a very high level." And they also reflected many of the artistic and social concerns of the time.
Besides the visual, tactile and auditory sensations of the works, Mr. URQUHART was really impressed by "the virtuosity of his hammering." By that, he meant Mr. PARTRIDGE's workmanship in getting the nails in straight and figuring out how deep to hammer them. "I couldn't do that," he said. "If you X-rayed one of my boxes. I would be embarrassed because the nails go in at different angles and now I pre-drill them. But with the Naillies, one nail out of line and …"
Mr. PARTRIDGE was an intensely creative person who seemed to make art instinctively and organically rather than consciously and deliberately. His daughter, Kate, says his life was a series of creative cycles interspersed with down or resting phases until something dramatic happened in his life or his environment, and that would spark another creative synergy.
He is curiously not well known, said artist Ron BLOORE, who had known Mr. PARTRIDGE as an artist and a friend since the late 1950s. "That guy had a real collection of weird wild nails." The works, especially the later ones, sometimes got to be quasi-religious or spiritual, he said, because they explored "a visionary experience."
David Gerry PARTRIDGE was the youngest child of Albert Gerry and Edith (née HARPHAM) PARTRIDGE. His favourite toy as a child was a hammer, which he used to drag around with him and hit things although not always from a creative impulse. One of his grandfathers was a roofer, and the other was an undertaker, so that's where he may have inherited his affinity for hammering nails, his wife suggested this week. His other great love was flying, a passion that can be dated to seeing his first airplane in the 1920s on a family visit to Florida.
His father was a senior executive with Goodyear Tire, and so David, his mother and his older sisters, Elspeth and Emily, moved across the Atlantic in 1928 when Mr. PARTRIDGE was transferred to England. During the seven years that his father served as president of the British firm, David went to Mostyn House School in Cheshire, then Radley College in Oxfordshire. When they moved to Canada in 1935 so that Albert PARTRIDGE could head the Canadian operations of Goodyear, David was sent to Trinity College School in Port Hope.
That's where he met Edward CAYLEY, who always called him Birdy and considered him his closest friend for the next 76 years. "We were opposites. He was stubborn and impatient, but for some reason we got on," said Mr. CAYLEY, noting that his friend had a great sense of humour. "He was always restless, and that's where the creativity came in."
After Trinity College School, Mr. PARTRIDGE went to Trinity College at the University of Toronto, concentrating on English, history and geology, and graduated in 1941. He immediately enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force, where he scored so highly on his training courses that he was made a flight instructor and spent the war, much to his chagrin, on this side of the Atlantic.
On June 14, 1943, he married Helen Rosemary ANNESLEY (always known as Tibs), who was serving as a Women's Royal Naval Service. The couple had known each other slightly at university until their final year, when his mother spotted Ms. ANNESLEY at a reception for visiting parents and told her son that he should "marry that girl."
The year after they had both graduated, they began seeing each other socially, and became even closer when both of them were posted to Ottawa, she with the Royal Canadian Navy and he with the air force. By then, his mother was dead and it was her mother who was issuing the directives that Mr. PARTRIDGE should "marry that girl."
After the war, the PARTRIDGEs moved to St. Catharines, Ontario, where he taught art first at Appleby College and then at Ridley College. Their two children -- Katharine (always called Kate), a psychologist, and John, a reporter at The Globe and Mail -- were born there in 1945 and 1947. This was the period in which he was finding himself as a water colourist and a printmaker.
He won a British Council scholarship to study at the Slade School at the University of London, so the whole family lived in Hampstead for the academic year 1950-51. Afterward, Mr. PARTRIDGE enthused about working with artists Tom Monnington and Edward Ardizzone, the "wonderful introduction into etching and engraving" he received from John Buckland-Wright, and the stimulation of being in contact with Graham Sutherland and John Piper, among other Slade professors.
After returning to Canada, he taught high school art at St. Catharines Collegiate and Vocational Institute, co-founded the St. Catharines Art Association and the St. Catharines Public Library Art Gallery (and was its first curator) and taught summer school at Queen's, the same place he had himself studied a decade earlier.
The PARTRIDGEs, who were both anglophiles, lived in Sussex with their children from 1956 to 1958 and for a longer stint beginning in 1960. All the while, he was showing in group and solo exhibitions in Canada and abroad. In February and March of 1958, he was studying etching and engraving with William Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris when he had a creative breakthrough.
"I was fascinated by the irregular surfaces of deep-etched copper and zinc plates, irrespective of their purpose in printing. They became low-relief sculptures, which seemed to my ex-pilot's eyes like aerial views of topography," is the way he described the process later. One Saturday, he was gallery-hopping and came across an exhibition by Hungarian sculptor Zoltan Kemeny that he described as "bas-reliefs using all manner of metal bits and pieces, welded into an even more exciting aerial vision than the etched plates had provided."
The eureka moment came in Ottawa (where the family was then living) the following winter when he came across a piece of plywood left over from a renovation. "Nails were at hand and a hammer! I descended to the basement and made my first nail sculpture." The Naillies, as Mr. PARTRIDGE called them, were born. Wood, the most basic building material, became a platform for work that undulated with rhythm, light and texture. Hard-edged, tactile and sculptural, Naillies transcended their utilitarian origins and transformed nails and wood into something evocative and spiritual. Naillies seemed too skinny a word for a new art form, so at a dinner party with Alan Jarvis of the National Gallery and his wife, Mrs. PARTRIDGE came up with the term "configurations."
He had his first solo exhibition of paintings, drawings and configurations at the Robertson Galleries in Ottawa in October of 1960, the same year he gave up full-time teaching and moved his family back to England. They stayed until 1974. Since then, Naillies have been acquired by the National Gallery, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Tate Gallery, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Gallery of New South Wales and many other institutions. He also won commissions, such as Metropolis, a huge mural for the new city hall in Toronto and the Royal Canadian Air Force Memorial in Westminster Cathedral in London.
After returning from England, they settled in Toronto, spending summers at a cottage near Stony Lake, Ontario, that they bought from Mrs. PARTRIDGE's family. By 1980, Mr. PARTRIDGE, who had some spare cash after having sold a big Naillie, indulged his unquenchable love of flying by buying himself a do-it-yourself kit for an ultra-light plane. He partially constructed it at his studio on Queen Street and then hauled it up to the cottage, where he attached floats and set off across the lake, never having flown that kind of plane before.
He took some great photographs, said Mrs. PARTRIDGE, by tying a string around his big toe and attaching it to a camera "so he could fly with both hands, which he needed to do, and his big toe would pull on the thread and snap a photograph." Once again, he was interested in aerial views of the landscape, the same topographical impressions that he created in his Naillies.
About this time, Mr. PARTRIDGE reconnected with his old friend Ed CAYLEY, who had also been living abroad, by phoning to ask: "Do you still like movies?" The two men resumed a ritual weekly trip to the movies that had begun in their undergraduate days at the University of Toronto. After Mr. PARTRIDGE had a stroke a little more than three years ago that seriously hampered his mobility, Mr. CAYLEY brought lunch and a DVD to watch with his old friend at home.
David Gerry PARTRIDGE was born on October 5, 1919, in Akron, Ohio. He died of heart disease on December 11, 2006, after a stroke and a heart attack. He was 87. He is survived by his wife, Tibs, his daughter Kate, his son John and their spouses. There will be a public graveside service today at 10 a.m. at Saint_James-the-Less Cemetery in Toronto.

David PARTRIDGE, 87: Painted with nails
By Tamara CHERRY, Staff Reporter
To the art world, he was the "naillie" pioneer. To those who knew him best, he was the committed crossword puzzler, teller of ghost stories and frustrated musician.
"I've never thought of myself as a sculptor," David PARTRIDGE said in a 2003 interview with the Star. "I'm a painter who paints with nails."
At that time, PARTRIDGE also rejected the idea that his most recent show, "Phenomena," might be his last. But it was.
PARTRIDGE hammered his way through an award-winning career with hundreds of thousands of nails, inviting recognition from the artistic and political communities alike.
In recent years, however, he was slowed by a stroke, bowel infection and heart attack. He died December 11 at age 87.
"There was so much to celebrate about his life," Kate PARTRIDGE said of her father whose career spanned England and much of Ontario before he settled in Toronto in the 1970s.
"He had a creative urge that just was unlike anything I've ever seen in anybody else," his son John PARTRIDGE said.
That creativity burst into the art scene with his first self-titled "naillie" in 1958. PARTRIDGE the painter had chanced upon an exhibition by Zoltan Kemeny made up of metal bits and pieces in Paris that March.
Back in Ottawa, that creativity -- combined with a 2-by-3-ft piece of plywood, nails and hammer -- led to his first nail sculpture.
Later, living in England in the early 1960s, he created about 400 naillies. "Back then I was forever lifting 60-pound boxes of nails up and down stairs to my studio," he told the Star in PARTRIDGE's work -- commissioned by places from the Townhouse Motel in Ottawa to Westminster Cathedral in London, England -- is likely most recognized locally by the naillie found in the entrance to Toronto City Hall. Called Metropolis, PARTRIDGE couldn't recall how many nails it took to complete the sweeping relief in 1975. Most guidebooks put it at 100,000.
"Even though the medium, the nails, is so cold and hard on the surface of things, he was somehow able to make this incredibly soft, flowing pleasing beauty out of it," his daughter said.
It was a beauty that spoke broadly, making naillies popular with the public, said Dennis REID, director of collections and research at the Art Gallery of Ontario and a long-time friend.
"People discover things in them. You see people approaching them with a sense of wonder."
And it was a beauty taken from above. While his wife was overseas in the Navy during World War 2, PARTRIDGE was in Ontario teaching flying lessons. His view from the sky translated on to planks of wood, his son said.
In the 1970s, PARTRIDGE bought an ultralight airplane kit, put it together in a studio and flew it on Stony Lake, near Peterborough.
PARTRIDGE will be remembered "as somebody who just made this very strong personal statement as a sculptor," REID said. "You don't think of him in terms of schools. He was attuned to his own visions in his own intense fashion."
"(He) had a love for kids and shaggy dog stories for adults -- great long stories with ridiculous endings," sister Kate said. "There was a very delightful child-like energy to him… with a lot of charisma in the twinkling of his eyes."
His father could burst into song at the drop of a hat, played a trumpet too, and delighted in telling Stephen Leacock ghost stories at his Stony Lake cottage, said John. He was a lover of "long, involved corny jokes."
A stroke paralyzed his right side in September 2003, ending his work with nails. But the right-hander taught himself to paint with his left hand, his son recalled.
"It was just remarkable. He just kept doing it… It was as if he couldn't stop being creative."
When he couldn't make it to Ottawa to be inducted as a Member of the Order of Canada, then-Governor General Adrienne Clarkson came to his home to hand over the honour personally the following year.
PARTRIDGE leaves behind his wife of 63 years, Rosemary or "Tibs," and their two children.

I haven't heard this in years! Thanks!!
