By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on August 3, 2012 Emerging research suggests a marriage in which partners follow the time-honored tradition of forgive and forget can lead to problems. The finding opposes the strategy of positive psychology — an approach that offered the promise that with forgiveness, optimism, kindness, and positive thinking, people can turn around their relationships even after a serious transgression. In the new study, investigators discovered that expressing anger might be necessary to resolve a relationship problem — with the short-term discomfort of an angry but honest conversation benefiting the health of the relationship in the long-term.

Madeline Levine: Why "Study Drugs" Undermine Real Success
I was not surprised or outraged when I read Alan Schwarz's New York Times article on amphetamine use to boost grades. Anyone who has worked with teenagers these past few years is well aware of the abuse that is going on, regardless of predictable disclaimers from drug company officials or school administrators. The fact that the main abusers of amphetamines are high-performing students is perhaps not surprising in light of the fact that it is among the ranks of the most academically talented that cheating tends to be rampant . The fact that amphetamine abuse carries great risk for addiction to other drugs, and is potentially lethal, makes Mr. Schwarz's article important in raising awareness. But as we move to increase awareness of discreet issues with high-performing students -- notable rates of depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation, cheating, drug use, etc. -- we risk missing the heart of the problem.
