Cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of a variety of conditions, including mood, anxiety, personality, eating, substance abuse, tic, and psychotic disorders. Many CBT treatment programs for specific disorders have been evaluated for efficacy; the health-care trend of evidence-based treatment, where specific treatments for symptom-based diagnoses are recommended, has favored CBT over other approaches such as psychodynamic treatments.[3] However, other researchers have questioned the validity of such claims to superiority over other treatments.[4][5] History[edit] Philosophical roots[edit] Precursors of certain fundamental aspects of CBT have been identified in various ancient philosophical traditions, particularly Stoicism.[6] For example, Aaron T.

Apologies Are a Sign of Strength :: Tips :: The 99 Percent. I overheard a lecture recently on the notion of repentance, and the state of “apologies” in society.
A number of famous athletes and politicians have been making the rounds lately, displaying the many different fashions of regret. If you listen closely to their words, you may notice the absence of a real heartfelt apology and understanding of the offense. It has become a rare occasion that a complete apology is made without equivocation.There are many ways to get around making a proper apology. You can simply blow it off and just say nothing, taking the “let’s just move on” approach. We lose respect for a leader when he or she fails to acknowledge a mistake. We lose respect for a leader when he or she fails to acknowledge a mistake. What concerns me more is when a colleague makes a naive decision and then, when pointed out or proven wrong, simply moves on without any formal acknowledgment. When you are at fault, you might fear that admitting an error is admitting weakness.
Oops: After Threatening Hacker With 440 Years, Prosecutors Settle for a Misdemeanor. 28-year-old hacker Fidel Salinas faced 44 felony computer fraud and cyberstalking counts just months ago. Courtesy Fidel Salinas Thanks in part to America’s ill-defined hacking laws, prosecutors have enormous discretion to determine a hacker defendant’s fate. But in one young Texan’s case in particular, the Department of Justice stretched prosecutorial overreach to a new extreme: about 440 years too far. Last week, prosecutors in the Southern District of Texas reached a plea agreement with 28-year-old Fidel Salinas, in which the young hacker with alleged ties to members of Anonymous consented to plead guilty to a misdemeanor count of computer fraud and abuse and pay $10,000 in restitution. Virtually all of those charges have now been dismissed entirely.
Eighteen of the 44 counts in Salinas’ indictment, for instance, were for cyberstalking an unnamed victim. Salinas’ sentencing is scheduled for February 2nd, and he declined through his lawyers to speak before that date. A Short, Surprising Insight About Gender and Creativity - Man Homesick for Prison Sentenced to 3.5 Years. Unfulfilled Dreams. 'Party Monster' Michael Alig Released From Prison After 17 Years. Rumors that the pop star had come out of the closet began after CNN iReport -- a subsection of the media outlet comprising 'citizen journalists' from around the world -- posted a since-removed story that stated, "The famous pop-star Bruno Mars admits his homosexuality," which caused the Mars' name to trend on Twitter.

What Michael Aligs Club Kids Are Doing Now -- NYMag. On Monday, May 5, ex-club-kid impresario Michael Alig was released from Mid-State Correctional Facility, where he'd been incarcerated since his 1997 first-degree manslaughter conviction, after Alig and Robert “Freeze” Riggs bludgeoned fellow nightlife denizen/drug dealer Andre “Angel” Melendez with a hammer before dismembering him and throwing him in the Hudson River.
Alig was picked up at the prison gate by some old nightlife friends: lighting designer turned DJ Scotto and former club kid/current hairstylist Astro Erle. (James St. James was supposed to be there to film Alig's return for production company World of Wonder, but of course, he missed his plane.) The church that housed the Limelight, where Alig's Disco 2000 party reigned supreme, is now a dreary shopping mall (and will soon become a David Barton Gym).
As for the club kids — those decadent nightclub celebrities who were once talk-show fixtures — they've changed just as much as their old digs. James St. Untitled. Being Mike Tyson: Boxing Legend Talks New Show, Inner Demons and Starting Over. Being Mike Tyson? That's easy. Reckless, impulsive and angry, the old Tyson moved through life without a care in the world for anyone but himself. The world, after all, belonged to him—all because of the speed and power in his fists. Tyson made and lost more than $400 million over the course of his career, living like a king. Today, all of that is a blur—and a part of the past. "The journey was worth it. I've met wonderful people and done incredible things. "I was very successful, but that past is not meaningful to me...I was a different person back then. It's that love, and the pursuit of it, that has led Tyson to where he is today. "I look at my children and wonder, 'How can you act like that?
But being Michael Tyson? It's not always so easy. "I just want to do the right things for the right reasons," he said. Raised for the ring, Tyson was once rewarded for every aggressive impulse. And so, Tyson struggles, with the present and the past, looking for a happiness he has never known. Untitled. Untitled. The game of seduction can be tough at times, especially if you are the kind of guy who thinks silly pick-up lines or material things are going to attract quality women into your life. If you know what you are doing and how to carry yourself, you could get away with almost anything. But when it comes to first impressions, if you screw up on your initial approach, usually the game is over unless you have enough wit and skill to make a comeback. But why is there a game, and why can’t women just be straight up and play “fair”? The answer to both of those questions can be summed up in two words: natural selection.
Now I want you to take a moment to realize that women have to deal with a lot more bullshit than men do in their everyday life. For some women, three times a day is not even close to the actual onslaught of approaches from internet media and social gatherings, where men are far more aggressive because they feel more confident behind a keyboard or being loaded up on drinks.
