TITLE: Couple File Suit against Psychiatrist
AUTHOR: D.L. Bennett
YEAR PUBLISHED: 2008

Main Idea #1:

Summary: a psychiatrist made improper advances toward a patient with marital problems.


Quote: “ I would love to make love to you. I always have been attracted to you.”


Question: Was the wife against this?


Main Idea #2:

Summary: About 12% of therapists admit to sexual contact with patients.


Quote: “Many who cross the line are the last person we would expect.”


Question: If 12% of therapists admit to that, then why do the numbers keep going up?

Main Idea #3:

Summary: His advances confused and upset the patient.


Quote: “Rather than strengthen her marriage and increasing her self-esteem, the defendant caused the plaintiff to feel unworthy.”


Question: Shouldn’t she have been angry and insulted?

It gives me a real life example of professional misconduct, which is seen in Catcher in the Rye and Montana 1948.


TITLE: In Memoriam: Allie Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye
AUTHOR: Edwin H Miller
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1982

Main Idea #1:

Summary: Holden’s brother died of leukemia and he has had a very hard time dealing with it.


Quote: “Life stopped for Holden on July 18, 1946, the day his brother died of leukemia.”


Question: Why didn’t his parents get him help?


Main Idea #2
Summary: Although his brother Allie died, Holden still has Phoebe.


Quote: he finds Phoebe asleep in D. B.'s bed: "I felt swell for a change." Safe and protected, he begins to relax and no longer worries "whether they'd catch me home or not." What he does not say is that he would like to be caught. At first Phoebe is "very affectionate" until she guesses that he has been kicked out of Pencey Prep. Then, hurt and angry, a reaction which he cannot understand, she beats him with her fists and says over and over, "Daddy'll kill you!" At last Holden tellingly replies, "No, he won't. The worst he'll do, he'll give me hell again, and then he'll send me to that goddam military school. That's all he'll do."

Question: Why doesn't Holden just tell his parents he wants to come home?

Main Idea #3:

Summary: The night after Allie died Holden did many violent things.


Quote: “The night after Allie's death Holden slept in the garage and broke "all the goddam windows with my fist, just for the hell of it. I even tried to break all the windows on the station wagon we had that summer, but my hand was already broken and everything by the time, and I couldn't do it.”


Question: Why did Holden act so angry, while David and his family barely reacted?

TITLE: In Memoriam: Male Depression is Linked to Poor Sibling Relations
AUTHOR: Nicholas Bakalar
YEAR PUBLISHED: 2007

Main Idea #1:

Summary: Men who have poor relationships with their siblings as a kid are more likely to be depressed as an adult.


Quote: “The researchers emphasize that their findings do not mean that a poor childhood relationship with a sibling causes depression, but they say the two are strongly associated. “


Question: If this is true, then why don’t parents get more involved?


Main Idea #2:

Summary: Poor parenting is reflected in poor sibling relations.


Quote: ''Poor parenting may be reflected in poor sibling relationships,'' said Dr. Robert J. Waldinger, the lead author of the study and an associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard. ''But once you've taken account of the quality of sibling relationships, knowing about the quality of parenting doesn't add much information.''


Question: Is this why Frank and Wes have such a bad relationship?

Main Idea #3:

Summary: These sibling relation facts pertain more to men than woman.


Quote: ''This is a really important study,'' said Myrna M. Weissman, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University who was not involved in the work. ''The one caveat is that these were all men, and sibling relationships may pertain more to men than to women.''


Question: Why does it pertain more to men than woman?
