Photojournal: NASA's Image Access Home Page Psychotherapy Brown Bag: Weblogs I don't normally post twice in a single day, but I wanted to post links to a few mental health resources that have recently caught my attention and our standard daily articles don't really afford me an opportunity to do so. Jonathan Kaplan's blog on mindfulness is one of our favorites. In addition to general information on mindfulness, the blog provides insightful thoughts on how to be mindful amidst the chaos of urban living. I am actually mildly conflicted in posting this one. We have referenced this site numerous times on PBB. This blog provides information on bipolar spectrum disorders from a first person perspective. A new favorite of mine, the Dare to Dream blog features articles on research in clinical psychology.

Creative Problem Solving with SCAMPER SCAMPER is a technique you can use to spark your creativity and help you overcome any challenge you may be facing. In essence, SCAMPER is a general-purpose checklist with idea-spurring questions — which is both easy to use and surprisingly powerful. It was created by Bob Eberle in the early 70s, and it definitely stood the test of time.

Did you know Behavioral Change Therapy Why Is No One Interested in Vagina Size? -- Science of Us It’s no secret: We are obsessed with penis and testicle size. Lately, we’re especially fond of evolutionary explanations for why penises and testicles are as large as they are, and why they’re shaped the way they’re shaped. It’s an obsession that extends from the ivory towers of academia on down. You’ve probably seen the articles by now.
