How clean underwear saved a life
A medical degree isn't needed to know what happens when tourists \"hit the town\"-although a little ER experience drives the point home. There were jazz bars and blues bars, gay dance bars and piano bars with torch song singers. [...]no action was taken at the time.

Iron Man 3: reconciling psychiatry's warring camps
Iron Man 3 does not dwell on Extremis, but comic book fans will recall the original story line in which Extremis facilitates direct brainbased connections with inanimate armor.1 That process allows Tony Stark to become one with his armor. [...]his existential identity question emerges.

Why psychiatrists are physicians first
According to Maria, the situation started with stomach pains the night before. The prerequisites for psy- chologists to step up to the plate, to prescribe meds for their patients? A 2-year online course in psychophar- macology, recertification at specified intervals, supervision of 100 patients by a psychologist (not a psychiatrist), and collaboration with a physician. Were it not for my grueling (and often unpleasant) medical training and rotations through the ED, medical, surgical, and ob-gyn wards, where I palpated hundreds of abdomens of patients in pain and where I elicited detailed multisystemic histories from every patient, I would never have known how to tease out Maria's complaints.

Dreams in Myth, Medicine, and Movies
Cinema—invented just before psychoanalysis formally developed—primed the public and scholars to rethink ideas about dreams. The author describes how surrealist artists purposely applied Freudian dream theories to their art to make the public aware of modern ideas about dreams. Most of our current cultural consciousness about the psychological value of dreams is traced to classical and contemporary cinema. This work examines how residuals of past approaches to dreams make conceptions of dreams in psychoanalysis and science more complex than ever today. Scholars and students in the fields of psychology, psychiatry, cinema, medicine, and religion may find this volume useful. The book also examines academic psychiatry's increased emphasis in dream study on neuropsychiatry and psychopharmocology, as well as managed care's decreased compensation for dream therapy.

Jewish mystical movements and the European ergot epidemics / Commentary
Chronic intake of ergot, a chemical present in bread blighted by ergot-producing fungi, results in a wide variety of neuropsychiatric and vascular symptoms. The symptomatology and epidemiology of outbreaks of ergot poisoning are traced, and are shown to coincide with the emergence of Jewish mystical movements, such as the early Pietist movement in Germany, Sabbateanism and Chasidism, thus suggesting that environmental ergotism contributed to these mystical movements. The interaction between ergotism and other nutritional, neuropsychiatric, social, psychological and historical influences is considered.
