Questions (& Other Things) From Class

I will put information here regarding questions asked during class that I was not able to answer fully, or anything else about a topic discussed during class that I think may be of interest to you.

01/30/2012: Someone emailed me and asked about Study Questions 1, 2, and 3 in Section 2-2. I responded to her here. It may help many of you to take a look at my response.

01/24/2012: I mentioned the Myers-Briggs Personality Test in class. An online version of the test is here.

01/17/2012: Here are a couple of short videos of Gerald–the person with schizophrenia we talked about in class (I showed Part 1 in class).

Schizophrenia: Gerald (Part 1)
Schizophrenia: Gerald (Part 2)
