On this page I will be collecting links to websites, information and resources that I think are  worth highlighting.  Some of this material has a direct connection to my work, some of it does not. 

speakingoffaith.publicradio.org

This is the website for National Public Radio's Speaking of Faith.   The website is an excellent resource for psychological content presented within a very rich philosophical and spiritual framework.  Recent programs have focused on Parenting, Autism, Depression, among many other interesting topics.  It is very well designed and all the programs can be downloaded to an i pod.

 This is a link to the blog of Dr. Peter Whitehouse on the Psychology Today website. Dr. Whitehouse is a highly regarded neurologist and researcher who challenges our current ideas and approach towards Alzheimer's disease.

This article in the NYT about high functioning alcoholics is an important reflection on how we define alcoholism.  It was followed up on the health blog with a Q and A with Dr. Mark L. Willenbring, director of the Treatment and Recovery Research Division of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
