Academic psychology

The examination of individual NP case studies by other investigators, as well as summary results of our pilot research, suggest at least two clinically distinct populations. One subsample of PCP abusers has a developmental history of prenatal and birth complications, e.g., prematurity, anoxia at birth, or low APGAR scores, and of early childhood factors, e.g., CHI with loss of consciousness, febrile illnesses with or without convulsions, or chronic ear infections. These histories contribute to developmental learning and performance disorders. In this group, LD causes academic failure and frustrations, which in turn contribute to the development of psychological and interpersonal problems.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a familial recurrent illness associated with poor psychosocial and academic outcome an increased risk for other psychiatric disorders, suicide, and suicide attempts and a high rate of depression and psychological difficulties in adult life (Birmaher et ah, 1996b Goodyer et ah, 1997 Lewin-sohn et ah, 1999 Pine et ah, 1998 Rao et ah, 1999 Weissman et ah, 1999a,b). The prevalence of MDD in children and adolescents is approximately 2% and 6%, respectively (Birmaher et ah, 1996b). Thus, early identification and prompt treatment of this disorder at its early stages is critical.

Consider the ordinary psychological experiment the experimenter almost always has a very definite expectation of how the experiment should come out and may be quite emotionally involved in obtaining that outcome. The outcome may mean a lot to him theoretically it may mean the difference as to whether he can publish a report about the experiment or not, and the number and success of reports he publishes is closely related to his promotion in the academic world. Emotional motivation usually favors the occurrence of psi. Although I fear that this idea will probably be emotionally rejected by most psychologists, I believe that almost all psychological experiments need to be reexamined to see to what extent they are accurate accounts of what actually goes on with people and to what extent they might be products of experimenter bias.
