Great for Berkeley. However, this report was written by 4

left-wing
liberals from Berkeley's Graduate School of Education "Psychology"
Program...which ranks 45th in the nation by the way.

As opposed to right-wing liberals.....

That must be one of the DSM-IV mental disorders that's yet to be

named.
:-)

I don't believe the DSM is required reading at dental trade school.


Really? Do you *believe* studies that show almost 3/4 of patients
presenting with atypical facial pain (non-odontogenic in nature), have a
specific psychiatric disorder by DSM-IV criteria? Do you *believe* in

the
etiological relevance of specific phobias (ie--dental phobia) to panic
disorder with agoraphobia (PDA)?

Do you *believe* you have no idea what you're talking about?

PS-I liked your "trade school" dig, however. :-)



You've never read the DSM-IV or any of its predecessors.


Dentists are many times the front-line agents in the recognition of anxiety,
eating, personality, and especially substance-related disorders. *Of
course* we've been instructed in the recognition of disorders defined by the
DSM-IV criteria.

As an aside...my favorite disorder is NPD...because it's sooooo easy and
sooooo much fun to push the buttons of a Narcissist.




As for my "dig" at trade school, I suppose the Jesuits have been a major
influence in my life. I went to college to help expand my mind and to
get a liberal arts education, not to learn a trade. Different strokes, eh?


I went to college to prepare me with the skills that would allow me to
obtain a meaningful, well-paying job immediately upon graduation. I use my
*own time* to expand my mind and get a liberal arts education...'cause you
don't need to spend money on a formal education to achieve either of those.

As for your "different strokes" comment...you've obviously been spending too
much time listening to Joycelyn Elders.
