RE: Psychology Addict # 51 | Self-Harm – An Overview Through the Biopsychosocial Lens
This is a very thorough feedback my friend :)
I was particularly interested in its first part. Yes, I do remember you were a teacher, and the observation you made about the normalization of pathological behaviour among the resident students is very similar to those seen, for example, in hospitals/clinics with units dedicated to treat anorexia nervosa patients. It reminded me of the whole "culture" as you put it, but mostly of the younger girls.
Thank you for sharing with me that paper on the Neuroscience of Drug Craving. I have an extra fascination and passion for the neuropsychology of addiction. Particularly all the mechanisms underlying the appettitive phase (well ... and the consumatory too). I saw that the paper you shared here looks into the former phase through a cognitive neuroscience perspective (😍). It cannot get any better than this! :D
Ok, I better go now....
Wishing you a night filled with sweet dreams!
Much love to you always.
Dear Abigail,
You do impress, as always. Very perceptive. My students were all girls, mostly 14 to 17. I don't like to talk about specific diagnoses, but certainly your insight applies.
Peace, and sweet dreams, also.
With Affection and respect,
AG
