...Schore's co-authors, Gay Bradshaw, professor of psychology and ecology at Oregon State University and director of the Kerulos Centre for the Study of Animal Psychology and Trauma Recovery, uses the term "trans-species psychology" in her work.

Like Schore, she's reluctant to use the word "grudge" when it comes to animals' motivations. But she believes that animals, like humans, can suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, of which captivity is a key trigger...
...absolutely necessary with head trauma and acute abdominal conditions. Minutes can make a difference in these cases - if, say, there's bleeding around your brain and you can't get an MRI - and the speed of a CT scan makes it worth the risk. But in most other situations, it's wise to let the doctor convince you it's worth it, before consenting to the scan. Ask your doctor what decisions he or she plans to make with the information from the scan. What other tests could yield the same information? Would an MRI be better...
There you have it, the utterly improbable central trauma that "explains" the rest of Dewey's life: his drive for the fame that can never compensate for his terrible guilt, the self-destructive drinking, drugging and sexual outlawry that sully his path to pop icon status, the bum musical trips - his adored brother may have been an authentic musical prodigy that Dewey dimly needs to emulate - that threaten his career.

Now, with a new pastor on board only since August, the church is once again in the national spotlight, this time as part of a shocking two-episode multiple murder. At a press conference today, the church...
Boyd seemed contained and in control at a press conference he gave at New Life today. "This is a very strong church," he said. "It has a history of surviving trauma, and it will do well. It will be okay." Whether he was being prophetic or just hopeful will become evident as he shepherds his twice-shaken flock through the next few months. With reporting by Rita Healy/Denver
