Riverdale is one of New York City’s most prestigious private schools, with a 104-year-old campus that looks down grandly on Van Cortlandt Park from the top of a steep hill in the richest part of the Bronx. On the discussion boards of UrbanBaby.com, worked-up moms from the Upper East Side argue over whether Riverdale sends enough seniors to Harvard, Yale and Princeton to be considered truly “TT” (top-tier, in UrbanBabyese), or whether it is more accurately labeled “2T” (second-tier), but it is, certainly, part of the city’s private-school elite, a place members of the establishment send their kids to learn to be members of the establishment.

Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment : Mapping training: the transfer of a cognitive technology for improving counseling. Received 9 November 2001; received in revised form 8 February 2002; accepted 19 February 2002. To provide information that will reduce the gap between research and practice, the transfer of a complex drug abuse counseling technology is examined. This technology, cognitive mapping, is a graphic tool shown to effectively facilitate communication and problem solving in group and individual counseling sessions.
Unlike some techniques, mapping requires substantial counselor time, effort, and expertise to learn and to use. This article briefly describes the development and evolution of mapping and supporting research. It then focuses on our efforts to develop mapping training that will facilitate use of this evidence-based technique in drug abuse treatment.

During group sessions, counselors and residents in the mapping communities collaborated to develop node-link maps representing critical issues.
Counselors in standard communities used their own methods. Coming to terms with the female orgasm : Greg Laden's Blog. Why is it so hard to understand a commonplace thing like orgasms?
I think I know why science does not understand the female orgasm. It is because science excels when it breaks free of context, history, human complexities and anthropology, but when a topic requires one to grasp context, history, human complexities and anthropology, then science, especially the hard sciences, can fall short. Also, the nature of the female orgasm is a comparative question, but human sexuality is highly (but not entirely) derived; It is difficult to make a sensible graph or table comparing aspects of sexuality across mammals that usefully includes humans. It is not as impossible as making such a graph or table with “language” (which is entirely unique to humans) but still, it is difficult. Methadone clinic. A methadone clinic is a clinic which has been established for the dispensing of methadone (Dolophine), a schedule II opioid analgesic, to those who abuse heroin and other opioids.
The focus of these clinics is the elimination or reduction of opioid usage by putting the patient on methadone.
