Yes, that's Dr. Mumford living in Mumford. And if you have eight dollars and two hours to waste, I invite you to indulge in several other, much more ridiculous, aspects of the characters and plot...
Natalie Low, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and instructor at Harvard, counsels families as they navigate their way through the illusions and into the reality of marriage. She says the couples she sees are trying to nurture their relationships along with raising perfect kids and maintaining careers, but in this compartmentalized era, they are without the benefit of support systems of extended families and communities.

Some part of his brain was retaining a memory of an earlier practice session, a so-called implicit--rather than explicit, or consciously remembered--memory. People who suffer from Alzheimer's disease exhibit the same sort...

Social connections and daily routines coalesce in the first few days of the year, and children who are absorbed in their own distress will miss out on these significant developments. A good strategy with an older child is to help him take charge, says New Jersey psychologist Nancy Devlin. "Ask, 'What is it about school that bothers you?' Then ask, 'What can you do to solve this problem?' Parents rush in to solve problems that children can solve themselves...
