Question by Matt Gunn: What medication was the VT gunman on for his mental issues?
Whatever it was…hope my doctor doesn’t prescribe me that crap. I have to blame these quack college doctors that threw meds at this kid’s sickness. There should be tighter regulation on these “imitation opiates”. The FDA is too leniant with their approval process, and rush these human experiments to market, in the form of docile little pills .

Best answer:

Answer by rcpeabody1
I don’t know — I think it was a SSRI. They’re not imitation opiates. Talk to your doctor about your concerns, but the gunman was hospitalized BEFORE he started taking the medication. It didn’t cause his problems.

Question by Cristina: What are the Strengths and Limitations of psychoanalytic theory?

Best answer:

Answer by SieglindeDieNibelunge
Psychoanalytic theory provides many answers about family dynamics, the struggle between the “Id” (your basic desires), “Ego” (your conscious self) and the “Superego” (your conscience, or sense of right and wrong”. It can help you figure out why your neuroses keep you from being happy and fulfilled and how certain negative thoughts arose.

But what it is NOT good for is changing behavior. It was once thought that the “Behavioral” school of therapy (using types of conditioning and reinforcement) would solve everything but it has many flaws.

The most promising way so far, of changing negative thought patterns and behaviors is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, in which positive thoughts are practiced and substituted for negative ones. A new type of therapy, “ACT” (Acceptance, Commitment Therapy), is the latest outgrowth of this and has been quite successful in treating things like low-self-esteem, addictions and phobias, which traditional psychoanalytic therapy does not do very well.    Read more...
