Whether or not the recoveries prove to be long lasting, University of Rochester Neurobiologist John Sladek and Yale Psychiatrist Eugene Redmond see a braver new world ahead. The two scientists reported reversing the effects of Parkinson's in adult African green monkeys by implanting cells from the substantia nigra of monkey fetuses, and believe that fetal brain grafts offer a better bet for Parkinson's patients. Vanderbilt researchers, using fetal nerve-tissue implants in experiments with rats, also reported progress in reducing chemically induced symptoms of Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic brain disorder. Others expressed hope that once...
...condescending kiss-off: "Really too complicated to go into in depth." Certain words get great play: compassion, creativity, generosity, grace, humor, kindness, love, sanity, scholarship. It is, say religious scholars, more of a method than a religion. The relationship between teacher and student is similar to that between psychiatrist and patient, goes one definition. There has to be full trust, otherwise nothing is accomplished. "It's a particular type of religious devotion," says a former student of Rinpoche's, "where you surrender all your critical faculties to a guru." Whatever it is, initiates have a tendency to tell uninitiates...
...modern history of this debate began nearly 40 years ago with the work of ^ English Psychiatrist John Bowlby, who reported on orphans raised in British institutions following World War II. These infants received minimal care: adequate food, a warm place to sleep, and clean diapers. However, the battery of nurses who looked after them rarely held or cuddled them. To Bowlby's horror, he found that the babies completely lost interest in life. They stopped eating, playing or even looking up from their cribs. The report, published in 1951, was interpreted as a stern warning that mothers should raise their...
...debate is about to be refueled. This fall Belsky will publish another article, contending that many current research findings do not support his critics' optimism about even high-quality, stable infant day care. A new study conducted by Psychiatrist Peter Barglow of Chicago's Michael Reese Hospital and colleagues supports this view. It concludes that even upper-middle-class one-year-olds, enjoying ostensibly the best substitute care -- at home with a nanny or baby sitter -- tend to be less securely attached to their mothers. "Is the mother by far the best caretaker for the child in the first year...
Harvard Professor Robert Coles, child psychiatrist and author (Children of Crisis), at St. Joseph College, West Hartford, Conn.: Now our children are witnesses to scandal in politics, scandal in business, scandal in religion, cheap sleaze all over our newspapers. What is wrong with a decent and honorable country that has to go through this kind of great depression? One can only hope and pray for all of us that we will yet again find our way and be worthy of what this country is all about: a decent respect for people, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness...
