More rankling still is the recent perception of male psychiatrists as sexual exploiters of their women patients. Though such behavior is clearly a violation of the Freudian ethic, which forbids any social contact between patient and doctor, to say nothing of the Hippocratic oath, there is clearly some fire behind the smoke. In Florida alone, nine psychiatrists last year were charged with sexual misconduct during therapy; in a recent poll of 500 psychiatrists, a medical journal found that a surprising 19% said that they approved of doctor-patient sex under some circumstances. The intimate relationships in therapy obviously make both...
...psychiatry centers on schizophrenia, the most disabling and puzzling of mental illnesses. There are dozens of contending theories to explain it. The leading behavioral one derives from Anthropologist Gregory Bateson's concept of the double bind, which holds that schizophrenia arises from a prolonged dose of conflicting instructions, as, say, when a mother tells a child not to eat sweets, yet is constantly rewarding it with candy. But studies of identical twins and adopted children by Biochemist Seymour Kety strongly suggest a genetic base for schizophrenia. According to Kety, the flaw, contained in the cells' DNA, the master genetic molecules...
...brain is rich in enkephalin receptors, scientists speculate that the molecules may act as a defense against disappointments and trauma. At the Salk Institute, Floyd Bloom is studying the possibility that endorphins may be involved in the pleasure received from alcohol and opiates. Once a person begins taking heroin, say, the natural production of endorphins may decrease. Thus, if addicts try to go cold turkey, the agony of withdrawal is severe. If scientists can create nonaddictive chemicals that bind, like the opiates-and work at Yale with clonidine suggests that they can-to the appropriate receptors, they may be able...

It is to be hoped that the American editors will agree with Hawkins that the term "media" is a plural; even in America, it remains incorrect to say that the media is doing anything...
...beings." Schulz also wrote a book, Is God a Mathematical Formula?, and, in answer to the title question, he answered no but declared that God emanates somehow from "physical and chemical processes." Prayer? Mere "self-reflection." Life after death? Wishful thinking. Jesus? A normal man with good things to say who was later glorified into the Son of God by early Christians...
