Reducing the Separation of the Old and the Young
This article is a response to “The Social Separation of Old and Young: A Root of Ageism” by Hagestad and Uhlenberg. The separation they described in their 2005 article is still evident today.

Therapist Effects and Spiritually Oriented Psychotherapy

Integrating Spiritual Direction Functions in the Practice of Psychotherapy
Recent research and clinical experience suggest that clients are increasingly expecting that psychotherapists will deal with their spiritual concerns that are traditionally addressed in spiritual direction. This expectation has already begun to impact the practice of psychotherapy by increasing interest in the “spiritually-oriented-psychotherapies.” This article proposes that psychotherapy can become more receptive and effective in dealing with s…
Teaching the Biopsychosocial Perspective
Two approaches to teaching the biopsychosocial approach were compared. Four outcome measures from 55 patients and 11 resident physicians support a skill-based consultative approach as a more effective teaching method than a traditional didactic method. Implications of this innovative method for the practice of medicine are briefly discussed
