On Saturday, I did a book signing at a Barnes & Noble in eastern PA. Lots of bright, creative kids made my day by creating artwork representing “How to be a friend to someone who is being bullied.” I couldn’t keep them all to myself! Below, please join me in enjoying a few of my favorite masterpieces. Thanks to ALL of the kids who participated!

A colleague of mine (Brandon McDaniel, PhD student and founder of the website, Notes on Parenting) is conducting research on blogging & social networking. Please take a few minutes to participate in his online survey and enter for your chance to win a Kindle Fire tablet or $20 amazon gift card. See below for details:
We are currently gathering participants for an online survey that deals with adults’ use of blogging and social networking to potentially connect with others. We would like to ask you to complete the survey and also pass the survey on to others whom you know qualify, such as your friends, family, classes, and other organizations.
To qualify to participate, one must be 18 to 40 years old and able to understand English proficiently. Responses are completely anonymous.
We would ask that you please complete our survey by following this link (the survey is hosted securely by Qualtrics.com):

Compensation: Those individuals who complete the survey will be entered in a drawing to win one of four prizes (a Kindle Fire Tablet or one of three $20 Amazon gift cards). Your chances of winning also increase for every person that you refer who also completes the survey. The survey will take you approximately 20 to 45 minutes to complete, so please allow adequate time. As long as you leave the web browser window with your survey open you can always come back to the survey later to complete it.
We would also ask that you pass this information on to others whom you know that qualify, such as your friends, family, classes, and other organizations.
In addition, although anyone between the ages of 18 to 40 qualifies, we would like to obtain a large sample of mothers and fathers. If you know or interact with parents between the ages of 18 and 40, please pass the survey along to them.
Thank you for your assistance,
Brandon McDaniel

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.

Great Stop-Bullying Exercise for School Counselors & Teachers

A teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of paper and told them to crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up, but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out and look at how scarred and dirty it was. She then told them to tell it they’re sorry. Now even though they said… they were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bullies another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told her the message hit home. Copy and paste if you would like to stop bullying.
