Mind, brain and body. I like Venn diagrams to clearly demonstrate what we intuitively know but can't seem to permit in objective science. I think of this as a topic that needs to be gone over again and again till we get it as right as Dr. Blum's DSM fantasy. Thank you Dr. Blum.
5 Key Fantasies Embraced by DSM
5 Key Fantasies Embraced by DSM
While the diagnostic categories of DSM-III and DSM-IV (and soon DSM-5) have provided the basis for much useful research, little has been written about how much of DSM—and how much "evidence-based medicine"—is built on a foundation of fantasy. DSM itself, unfortunately, does not acknowledge the existence or importance of fantasy. If it did, it would be a much more scientifically based, useful resource. An exploration of some central DSM fantasies will help point out some of its limitations.
DSM embraces several key fantasies that form the basis for psychiatric teaching. Some of the most significant are the following:
• DSM categories correspond well to people in the real world
• Diagnosis can (and should) be made only on the basis of observable behavior
• Classification within a category implies a difference from other categories and meaningful commonality with other components of the same category
That the mind of the patient, which cannot be objectively observed or measured, can be clinically and scientifically ignored is a central fantasy underlying all of this. Thus, although vast amounts of research have been dedicated to DSM, elements of fantasy inevitably remain. Case vignettes will help illustrate some of the principal fantasies.
Fantasy 1: DSM categories correspond with people in the real world
To a certain extent, this is not a fantasy. It is important to note that there really are people who have psychiatric disorders (eg, depression, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia) and for whom these descriptive diagnoses are compelling and significant. But just as with the individual human mind, the presence of aspects of reality frequently serves to obscure aspects of fantasy—in this case, DSM categories are useful for most or all patients. How many patients outside of research studies fit neatly into DSM categories?
Does it really make sense to squeeze people into DSM categories in which they don't fit? Does it make sense to say that all people who fit into multiple categories have "comorbidities," or would it be better to acknowledge that many people have complex pictures that defy DSM categories? What of the many people whose difficulties bear little or no resemblance to any DSM category? Why maintain the fantasy of the utility of DSM in these instances? To illustrate the difficulty, here are 3 typical examples of patients that DSM seems to ignore.
Mr A came into treatment when his brother, whom he had been living with for 3 months, pointed out to him that contrary to his stated intent, he was not actually looking for a job. Over several sessions, Mr A proved to be a capable, skilled worker, as long as he was in a structured environment and had a boss he respected. Brutally murderous dreams suggested that outside of this circumstance, Mr A nearly paralyzed himself in an effort to control tremendous rage following a very difficult, traumatic childhood that he otherwise casually ignored. What does DSM offer to help us understand or categorize Mr A's blithe acceptance of his inertia? Where is the code for "paralyzes self to control murderous rage and wishes?" Despite its absence from DSM, might it not be the most precise and therapeutically salient diagnosis?
Dr B works in a highly technical, high-risk area of medicine. She came for evaluation, wondering whether she suffered from "burnout" or depression, thinking maybe she should retire from practice. Her mood was low, but she had few other symptoms of depression. She was preoccupied with the idea that she had hurt patients and mentioned that she began each day by mentally replaying, in sequence, every case of her career in which she felt she had hurt someone. She justified this ritual with the idea that it helped prevent recurrent errors, despite the fact that she'd been over each case hundreds of times and there was nothing left to learn. Further exploration revealed that she had not in fact hurt these patients; they were people whose terrible illnesses had led to unfortunate outcomes that Dr B had been unable to prevent. Dr B gradually began to admit that contrary to the way she treated herself as a near criminally negligent physician, she was at the peak of her career, and her colleagues routinely consulted her on, or referred to her, their most difficult cases.
I let Dr B know that I understood why she wondered about burnout and depression, but that it seemed to me that if we needed a label, we should say that she was suffering from a guilt disorder. I also pointed out to her how she started each day with penance to try, unsuccessfully, to relieve the guilt, and that her guilty self-accusations had nothing to do with reality. In all the cases she had mentioned, she hadn't actually hurt anyone, so the guilt, while felt in relation to her work, must have its origins elsewhere.
She later told me that she couldn't believe she hadn't recognized the guilt herself, and that she felt so light after our initial discussion that she laughed out loud while walking down the street back to work. Work became much less of a burden for her, and she went on to do a lot more therapeutic work easing guilty punishments and restrictions from many parts of her life. Guilty self-punishment and self-restriction can destroy a person's life, but it is not in DSM. What happens to such patients if they must be treated according to DSM diagnoses?
Mr C came to treatment after yet another crushing disappointment in a romantic relationship. He did not have overt symptoms of depression or anxiety. Briefly, it turned out that a seductive mother and parental divorce had left him with amplified incestuous feelings, wishes, and fantasies that led him to withdraw from intimate relationships. Again, there is no DSM diagnostic code for this situation, although variations of it are extremely common.
The DSM does not correspond with these patients—but the fantasy that the DSM applies to most patients in the real world continues to be broadly shared, as does the fantasy that we can ignore patients' fantasy lives. Just as with our patients' fantasies, our professional fantasies must be meaningful, there for a reason. These DSM fantasies help alleviate anxiety about complexity. They allow us to think that there are simple solutions, even when we are dealing with people. The vignettes above also alert us to the next DSM fantasy.
Fantasy 2: Diagnosis can and should be based on observable behavior
What supports this fantasy that we can limit ourselves to observable behavior? In none of the patients described above can a diagnosis be made without also accounting for the customary, crucial, emotional conflicts in the mind. That one can limit attention to behavior and ignore the complexity of the human mind and call it science, or that one can toss away most of the evidence and call it "evidence-based—these are fantasies. Obviously, the internal conflicts of the patients described above may be difficult to categorize and measure. But what we need is more sophisticated science that accounts for the mind, not an unscientific attempt to dismiss much of our best data.
Perhaps in addition to facilitating a circumscribed form of science, "behavior only" fantasy helps us defend against the messiness and discomfort of many of our feelings and fantasies, as we would expect from working with our patients.
Beyond this foundational fantasy underlying our current DSM—that we can manage with only observable behavior—let's consider a number of what we might call corollary fantasies.
Fantasy 3: DSM categories are meaningfully separate
Much research has established that many DSM categories are indeed discrete and useful, but again, this should not lead the student or reader to unquestioningly accept that this is always the case. As noted above, many patients in the real world do not read the textbooks and confine themselves to our given categories. The fact that anxiety and depressive symptoms occur simultaneously has recently become a widely recognized limitation of DSM. The concept of "comorbidity," the idea of having diagnoses from 2 categories at once, has merit on the one hand, but on the other is an attempt to bolster an inadequate system. By analogy to color, is the pattern better understood as blue and yellow, or as green, stripes, a check, or a complex multicolored plaid?
I believe Dr. Blum does a service by pointing out that there are substantial limits to our standard diagnostic system and that the greatest limitations may include those areas in which we individually invest in fantasy.
It's worthwhile remembering that DSM-III was itself a reaction to traditions of shared fantasy in our profession that eventually limited our ability to talk with one another or do science. Analytic traditions in particular had developed soaring edifices of shared fantasy that served as sources of intellectual beauty and insight but also promoted constructs that were unmeasurable or unfalsifiable.
Perhaps we could see our profession being in need both of very limited but grounded shared maps that constitute our current DSM, as well other systems of thought that better appreciate the flights of fantasy and individual created meaning in our lives. Roots and Wings...
Dr.Blum expresses admirably a recent trend to restore psyche to psychiatry. To some extent it is a reaction to the fact that the descriptive approach of DSM has given us rapidly increasing rates of diagnosed mental illness alongside escalating consumption of drugs rather than a considered restoration of the focus psychiatry should always retain.

Low Air Flow in Front Heater
I am new here, signing up to figure out what I did wrong in repairing the heating on my 1996 Suburban C1500. I am scratching my head, please help.
My fan blower was making a nasty screeching noise in cold weather, plus the medium 1 fan speed setting was not working. I took out the blower motor, lubricated it, cleaned out the area around the blower motor (pretty clean really for a 16 year old car). Blower works fine now, no noise. Then I changed the A/C & heater fan control switch behind the dash, now all fan speed settings work. So far so good.
Now with everything put back in place the air flow through any of the vents is not a fraction of what is was before! I checked the air-flow direction actuator: it seems to work, a bit comes out of the defroster when directed there, and also from the other outlets. The blend door also seems to work: I can adjust the temperature of the bit of air air coming out. I took off the cover underneath the heater core (not too hard if done with a very thin 1/4 inch ratchet), and the inside was super clean. The flap door for inside circulation (close to the blower motor) seems to be working too. So what the hell could possibly be restricting the air flow? Is there another flap door I don't know of? Is there a flap door in the air flow direction actuator that could be stuck?
I ordered a replacement for the A/C, heater, blender control console, since that seems to fail often, but I'd rather not put in a new $ 140 part if that is not the culprit.
Any suggestions from people who have more experience with this than I do -- this is the first time I ever did anything with the heating system.
02-09-2013, 01:48 PM #2Without being there to listen, I'm thinking the blower motor is the problem. It noisy and you lubed it. Did you take it apart to do this?

Thanks Ray,
Without taking it apart I sprayed a bit of 4WD at the two endpoints of the shaft of the blower motor, using a long flexible plastic nozzle. The fan seems to be blowing full blast to me, but of course I've never see it operate before the lubrication. Would be nice if that is the problem, because that motor is easy to replace. Any thoughts?
Love that car! I have five kids and two dogs and we take it everywhere, skiing, hiking, camping.
02-09-2013, 03:08 PM #4Are you stating that air is coming out of all vent? This can usually be fixed by turning on the A/C. This will force the defroster door closed and only allow the front or foot vents to work. Try it a few times. Worked when it happened on my truck and has worked on others from this gen on the site.

What I meant to say is that the air comes from any vent (floor, dashboard, window) that I direct it to, but only in a trickle. I tried the A/C remedy (thanks Conlan), but it did not work. I also replaced the fan motor (not very expensive really), but it makes no difference, same sound, same fan speed.
So what else could be wrong? Something stuck in the flow direction actuator? Something a new A/C heater, fan, etc console could fix?
Thanks again!
02-12-2013, 11:52 AM #6Is the fan speed selector working? If it is maybe the fan resistor is bad.
- - - Updated - - -
Realized I never told you how to test. There are two way that I see to be do able.
Way one: if you have a friend with a GM truck from the same gen 95-98/99 test your controller in his truck if it works fine in the truck and controls all the speeds then the fan resistor is bad. If same thing that is happening in your truck happens in his then the controller is bad. You should also test if his works you system properly. Just make sure his works 100% first.
Way two: buy new controller and resistor(to be safe) plug in new controller is everything works your set, YAY, if still same then replace resistor and test again. Make sure to test both units for functionality because if you original isn't the problem then why keep the new one just return it to refund your money.

Yes, all four fan speeds work fine. Is there a flap door or similar in the part that directs the airflow to the different outlets? I have not found any drawings online. Thanks again.

You obviously removed the entire blower assembly from the housing in order to lubricate it....did you reconnect the wires backwards? IIRC the Purple one is closest to the motor, while the black (ground) is further to the outside.

I've purchased 2 of these over the past several months to upgrade Import guitars. They do require some sanding to get the height proper, but other than that no hassle. Slots were perfect both times. Easiest way to improve a guitar ...
Works very well, looks great. No issues!
Fits Epiphone Les Paul LS100 with no sanding. However slots cut tiny bit low so I put in a thin piece of vinyl as a shim to raise it higher. Anyways it sounds good so far and keeps in tune and perhaps increases sustain.
The idea that you can buy a nut thats slotted and just drop it in and play is wrong so dont let these mislead you. They do require fitting and slotting. Ive found to get the 'slippery' factor to actually work you need to polish the slots a lot. They have a matte finish so if you want a polished nut youll need to go through the process. Its easy to work with and doesnt stink like bone. The only ones Ive noticed that have added good tonal qualities are the larger ones. Fender style are just too small it seems for the TUSQ material to enhance the tone. Mostly I prefer bone or sometimes Corian but if you get the slots on a TUSQ XL nut slippery smooth on a guitar with a traditional tremolo, it does help with tuning stability.
Put it on my Epi ES175 and it improved resonance and tuning. I still had to do a fair amount of trimming to get it to fit even though it was supposed to be precut. Overall, a great improvement.
I had to replace a nut on a Yamaha 335 knock-off that I ruined trying to file the string channels. The original nut was too high (as are the frets) and I was getting terrible out-of-tune notes at first position chords. I decided to try and make life easier with a pre-slotted nut and one with some slippery properties. I needed some advice from the knowledgeable Stew-Mac staff regarding best choice and they came through in the usual speedy and friendly way. Removal and prep was easy since I had last version of Dan's Guitar Repair book and I followed the suggested course. The nut I chose was just a tad short in height for the Yamaha so I shimmed it. I sanded the glue spots and patiently kept installing it (unglued), playing it and adjusting the bridge until it felt right. I chose to file the nut ends and round the edges slightly before gluing and it went in without problem. The nut channels didn't need filing and after adjusting the bridge a bit, it plays like a dream. It was a lot easier to do than I thought and I saved a pile of money. I really took my time and measured and filed carefully and in the end, it paid off. For the money, these replacement nuts are great.
the material is good, I recommend
I've used TUSQ XL nuts twice. First time I've simply wanted to solve the problem with tuning stability on a hardtail superstrat. I came to the idea of self-lubricated nut several attemts with replacing the string trees and different lubes. The lubes are great, but they will work no longer as the lube wears off or gets oxidized. The problem was in the cheap synthetic bone nut. After getting a short experience with polycarbonate low-friction nut, which tone I didn't like at all, I thought about derlin nut or something like that. I'm glad with the choice of the TUSQ XL nut, because it's working quite well for few years without serious complaints. What about the tone? TUSQ is quite better in tonal characteristics than lots of man-made bone nuts, it's incredible better than cheap plastic nuts you can find on asian-made guitars, but it's a bit less responsive and harmonicaly-rich then bone nuts. Think like comparison of good solid-state and tube amps. But! If you're playing more heavy rock and you're picking hard, your vibrato and string-bending are strong, the TUSQ will work a bit better for you. If you're playing low to medium gain, and you have nice rig, that can emphasize well the harmonic richness of your axe - go bone nut. For me TUSQ XL works perfectly in my electrics, but I prefer bone nut for acoustic guitars. Anyway, it's a truly great investment, especially if you want to solve problems with tuning stability.
Very nice replacement nut...listed as interchangeable with Epi nuts; slightly wider, however. Very easy to sand and adjust...
This is a great high quality nut. I put one of the black Gibson slotted nuts (item 1869) on my Dean Razorback as part of a full overhaul I was doing on it myself, and it fit perfectly. The string spacing was dead on, and VERY easy to work with. All I had to do to it was shave the sides a very small amount to be flush with the neck, but otherwise, it fit perfectly. I was amazed at the improvement of the sound quality and tuning improvements afterwords.

Many state and local governments are hiring again, working to rebuild workforces depleted by the recession's layoffs and hiring freezes and to prepare for the coming wave of public-sector retirements. As they do so, they need to pay close attention to their "employer brand."
Many government officials and managers still may feel uncomfortable with the idea of government as a brand, reasoning that this term from the competitive world of business shouldn't apply to the public sector. But it should, and it does. In the business of applying knowledge to achieve results, which the public sector is most certainly all about, the fundamental difference separating an extraordinary organization from an ordinary one is the collective ability of its workforce.

Suppose you're a state legislator. You're about to vote on a bill that would impose significant regulations on hydraulic fracturing, the controversial process for extracting natural gas from shale rock whose use has skyrocketed in the past decade.
Depending on your perspective, "fracking" is providing us with a clean, inexpensive energy source or it is a major health threat that poisons the air and water around drilling sites. Proponents point to lower energy costs and lower greenhouse-gas emissions. Opponents cite more than 160 cases of drinking-water contamination near fracking sites. READ MORE
One of my favorite teaching tools for my graduate class in public administration is a video of two people engaging in something of an act of civil disobedience at a state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. A young man, along with a friend operating a video camera, enters the DMV and insists on paying a fee of $60 or so in pennies, nickels and dimes.
The DMV employees do seem ill-equipped to deal with such antics. They tell the young man they can't accept pennies, then that they can't accept them without counting them. Then they ask him to count the coins himself and roll them -- they even inform him of the location of the nearest Coinstar money-counting machine. Finally they resort to calling over a state trooper to help make sense of the situation. In the end, the transaction is completed and the young man and his videographer depart the DMV claiming to have proven that government is inefficient and only too ready to inconvenience citizens.

Six years ago in a column here, I speculated that waves of incoming new public employees would reshape the public workplace and the delivery of services. These new tech-savvy workers come with an expectation of connectivity. They are impatient with the hierarchical lines of authority that characterize much of public-sector service delivery and with the isolation of service agencies by funding streams.
Unbeknownst to me, at that moment two social entrepreneurs, both with careers in Philadelphia but who had only met as Eisenhower Fellows, were wondering why so little of the innovation in the human-services field in their hometown was being shared with others and why the social innovators seemed not to know each other. They saw in the continuing connection of Eisenhower fellows worldwide a model that could benefit social innovation in Philadelphia and beyond. READ MORE
Yesterday's voting brought an end to the 2013 election cycle. Ten of America's 30 largest cities -- including Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and Seattle -- elected mayors this year. Another 13 of those 30 cities elected mayors during the 2011 cycle. And regardless of election year, the vast majority of American cities also allow candidates to skip a November contest entirely by winning a majority of votes cast in typically low-turnout first-round elections.
America's local elected officials still enjoy far higher citizen trust than their state (and, especially, their national) cousins, so it's worth asking why so many local governments continue to risk their relatively favored status by structuring their election systems to virtually guarantee abysmal voter turnout, thus essentially disenfranchising huge numbers of citizens.

my boyfriend recently asked me to go to europe with him for a month . We will be staying at hostels and everything we have will have to be carried with us. I have no clue of how I am going to prepare chic fashionalbe outfits that also are going to be able to fit into a back pack and not be washed a lot! I don't think I'm cut out for this type of trip but can' t wait to go. haha thanks for the help.

Lucky you! I was in Europe backpacking for 9 months and had a blast.
Backpacking is definitely definitely for the adventurous souls but that doesn't mean you should leave you chic dresses at home. You definitely need to dress nice for night events like dining out in Paris, going to the theaters in London or the opera house in Vienna. I went in summer, so I brought 2-3 short black dresses that didn't require ironing. Not all hostels have irons and laundry rooms. It's steamy hot in summer but if you are going to the mountains in Switzerland, then you'll need a jacket, you can actually go skiing in summer. Also, churches/chapels in Vatican City and Italy are super strict with dress code. Most of them don't allow visitors to enter if their shoulder and/or knees are exposed. To my surprise, they are even more strict than Egypt! Have fun! |

It sounds amazing - to go Europe for a month.
A friend forewarned me about the churches/Vatican in Italy - she advised me to bring a cardigan and a sarong- that way I wouldn't be turned away. My only advice is to bring a lint brush - if you bring a few items that are wrinkle free - they can be hand washed in the sink and can be wrung out with a towel and air dried. Have fun. |

I love the traipsing around Europe scenario.... I did it a while ago and I think the key is one type of outfit per event, with layers that can be switched around to create more outfits.
So.... I love the suggestion above from Aihui about a black dress or two, plus a bunch of scarves, one pair of nice jeans (denim is heavy, so you will want to be careful about how many pairs of jeans you bring), a couple of twill cotton pants and shorts and a variety of nice t shirts, plus the ever helpful cardigan or two. Light on the jewelry - wear earrings that you can have on at all times, like huggies, and same thing with bracelets and necklaces. This way, you can swap the t-shirts with all the pants, same thing with the cardigans and make a bunch of different outfits, and you will have cardigans for over the dresses when it's cool out. for shoes, I would definitely think twice about bringing heels - or make sure they are really versatile, b/c they take up room and are heavy. Ballet flats are your best friend in Europe, as are cute sneakers like my beloved Hogans - and look in Fabulous Nobody's closet - she has great walking shoes. SO FUN!! |

Yeah! Lucky Lucky You!
Don't say your not cut out for it.... believe me, I went backpacking in South America and Europe and managed to bring just a small backpack and shoulder bag along with me. All of the essentials fit :) Here are my recommendations: - 1 pair of jean shorts that you'll live in, 1 pair of longer cotton/blend shorts. - 1 pair of dark denim jeans that you can dress up or down, depending on shoes and accessories. - 2 cardigans that are different enough to really switch up your look. - At least one scarf... you'll find bundles more street shopping that you can pick up along the way. - Your favorite walking sneakers (le tigres are close to my heart) and a pair of cute sandals that you can wear out too (gladiators if your a fan... matt bernson makes a very comfy gladiator that's still dressy enough and affordable). - A light cotton/linen blazer would be quite useful for those more special occasions. - 2 cotton dresses; 1 above the knee, one below (maxi dress is great for night) - Your favorite pj's, a pair of yoga pants that can be worn to bed and hiking. - 1 hat (pick any style) for those days the hostel shower was shut off. - A shoulder bag for hands free carrying; large enough to fit your daily essentials (a book etc) but small enough to not be a bother. - Buy your heels in Florence/Paris/or London... Have an incredible trip! - |

Seems like you are having a very similar dilemma to mine (see my post for away from home for one month), except hostels may not have laundry service (I had trouble even with the better hotels in Europe) and Fedex suitcases might be too expensive. Pack things doesn't wrinkle easily, also drys quickly. Look at the positive side, at least it's summer time!
#7 (Jun 4 2009, 04:06 PM)
American Apparel has a dress/top you can wear 18 different ways. Buy a couple of those, add 1 or 2 pairs of jeans (one blue, one white or black), one or two pair of flats, a pair of heels, some t shirts/tank tops, scarves and tie them all together with different accessories. Make sure you can mix and match everything you bring. One color scheme, like Black/White/Red or Navy/White/Yellow, or Brown/Cream/Grey combo. Check it out: http://store.americanapparel.net/rsa8339.html
It's the best discovery for travel. I agree with LAYERS. Very important! A cardigan and a jacket that goes with everything is important too because it cools down at night. Have fun! |

For 2012, Honda gives the Insight hybrid hatchback a refreshed front end, new headlights and taillights, a cool backlit blue bar running across the grille, more rear-seat headroom and legroom and a revised interior with a more tech-centric instrument cluster. Also new is the addition of a rearview camera to navigation-equipped models.
Although it hasn't knocked off the public's darling hybrid, the Toyota Prius, Honda's Insight is staking out a space of its own. The 2013 Honda Insight hybrid offers a sleek and modern 5-door hatchback design, intriguingly advanced powertrain technology and a sub-$20,000 price tag. Its EPA estimated city/highway fuel economy is a miserly 41/44 mpg. But it's also true the car's actual over-the-road performance is modest – likely less than what its advanced wedge-shape styling promises to most eyes. Honda's own Civic Hybrid is selling briskly so it isn't that consumers are resistant to the company's hybrid technology. Buyers just have to get used to the idea of advanced design and lively handling in the service of efficiency rather than driving thrills.
