If You’re Internationally Adopted into Family Racially Different than You, Please Join In!

Hello! My name is Jesika Asaro. I am a doctoral student researcher in the process of completing my doctoral studies in Clinical Psychology at Fielding Graduate University. I am seeking participants for my study about the identity development of adult adoptees who have been internationally adopted into families that are racially different than themselves. This study is as been approved by the IRB at Fielding Graduate University. My dissertation chair is Dr. April Fallon (afallon@fielding.edu).

In service of this topic, I am seeking participants who:
1. Are age 25 or older
2. Are fluent English speakers
3. Have been internationally adopted into a family whose race is different than theirs
4. Are willing to participate in the study by being interviewed and answering two sets of questions
Benefits to the participant include:
• possibly developing increased awareness of their identities and how their adoptions may have shaped them
• gaining a deeper appreciation of their navigation of multiple identities
• pride in contributing to the generation of knowledge about this understudied population.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you know someone who would like to participate, please forward this to them. If you would like to participate, please contact:

Glad to see the psychoanalytic vs. CBT debate is coming full circle.

Cheap and effective, CBT became the dominant form of therapy, consigning Freud to psychology’s dingy basement. But new studies have cast doubt on its supremacy – and shown dramatic results for psychoanalysis. Is it time to get back on the couch?

So proud of John Harvey for his new publication:

John grew up in rural Wisconsin where, with the encouragement and example of his parents, he developed a lifelong interest in the outdoors, conservation, and understanding...

Definitely a worthwhile read! Many of us look toward the aging process with fear or disillusionment. Although the effects of growing old cannot be eliminated altogether, there are ways to improve and sustain brains functioning as one progresses into older adulthood.

For one, brain training programs, which challenge memory, reasoning, and processing speed, can help strengthen this muscle (we forget that we can exercise our brain too!) This is a technique that Jody often uses in her cognitive remediation therapy with clients recovering from brain injuries and memory deficits.

Jessica Langbaum, who specializes in Alzheimer's prevention, asserts that remaining social and in frequent contact with others can be even more influential in decreasing likelihood of Alzheimer's dementia later in life.

Staying connected to others is key to our health. We must build communities and remember that it is okay to reach out.

Alzheimer's prevention specialist Jessica Langbaum says that like most working people she gets plenty of mental exercise without playing crossword puzzles or brain games. She says work is the key.
