Passive Aggressive Question Answerer
110114 years
My friend Amy just filled me in on this perfectly passive aggressive website: www.lmgtfy.com. Have you heard of it? I’d tell you about it, but it would ruin the laugh you’ll get by taking 2 minutes to check it out. Suffice it to say we’ve probably all felt this way when faced with a person who finds it more convenient to bother us with their question than to just google it for themselves. Enjoy!

Check out my most recent book project:
Abnormal Psychology: An Anthology of Contemporary Articles is a collection of current readings covering the major diagnostic classifications of psychopathology. The text is written for collegiate programs that teach about abnormal behaviors. Students will learn effectively from the selected readings, which expose them to authentic research and factual case studies.
Articles selected for the anthology illustrate people from Asian, Canadian, European, Caribbean, Hispanic, and Aboriginal cultures, as well as mainstream American ethnic groups. The text begins with articles discussing the stigma attached to mental illness, and parent-reported reasons for unmet mental health needs in children. Subsequent chapters deal with the full spectrum of disorders including:
- Childhood Disorders
- Personality Disorders
- Sexual Paraphilias and Gender Issues
- Depressive and Bipolar Disorders
- Substance Use and Addiction
- Somatic Symptom Disorders
- The Schizophrenia Spectrum
- Neurocognitive Disorders
Abnormal Psychology can be used as a primary textbook. It is also a valuable supplemental text for courses in counseling, education, nursing, psychology, pharmacology, sociology and social work.

What Every Dad Should Know About Their Daughter
78514 years
A friend of mine shared the link to this great article about the important role that dads play in the lives of their daughters.
It’s challenging to articulate the influence a father has on a little girl. How much of his attitude and actions toward her can determine her future relationships. I remember how much stock I placed in what my dad thought of me. I remember how much I wanted him to be proud of me. To affirm me. To show me my value.
Author Gina McClain then shares her suggestions for how Dads can affirm and value their daughters. For a touching read, please check it out:
