I hadn't heard of Donna Orange and I'm not familiar with Phillip Bromberg, but I found Donna's book on Amazon and will definitely give it a look. I've never really gotten into self psychology, so this might be quite interesting. Thanks! Michael Joanna, glad you’re enjoying the Psych Files (though it’s more of a podcast than a blog).

She also sights that these 'mistakes' of reason are more pronounced in trauma victims....these ideas are then developed by Phillip Bromberg and others in speaking about every-day dissasociation. Love the blog!! Will def keep reading. Thanks for the great info. Joanna <a> hi micheal. love the blog – just arrived here today for the first time.

I gave many an orientation speech to young male freshmen about proper behavior but a lot of times I left shaking my head. Adolescence is a tough time and young men just aren't that typically mature until their mid 20s.

When you were talking about frat parties how the female should be aware, i agree she should be aware. But if the males have a sort of get out of trouble free pass because of their testosterone why don't the females also have one? I believe not just females should be informed i think males should also. Inform males how peer pressure and testosterone can over come them. I just think males can be young and care free but it is harder for females to do the same thing or to just be young and a bit naive (this guy is different). When a female is carefree she is generally viewed as stupid, reckless, wanting the bad things to happen to her. However when a male is carefree it generally seems to be put down to his testosterone and he is really a good kid. Just had to release some of my frustration, i am not aiming this at you directly the view seems to be generally held by society. I found it very interesting.

You are very, very kind. I do enjoy doing the podcasts and getting feedback is like yours is really nice. "Procrastination" eh? I'll look into it - sounds like it could be a good podcast. Good luck with your psych course. Michael Greg,
