Defining Personality and the link to Disorders
Our temperament is a set of in-built dispositions we are born with. It is mostly unalterable (though recent studies demonstrate that the brain is far more plastic and elastic than we thought). Read more on Sam Vaknin's research on personality and how it evolves.

About Electroconvulsive Therapy aka ECT
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is an electrical-stimulation technique used to treat severe depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and psychosis, and catatonia. It is a remarkable fact that ECT is an effective treatment for so many apparently unrelated types of mental illness.

Psychosis and Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a disorder that is often times misunderstood and feared by those outside of the disorder. Read more about what this mental illness can entail, including possible symptoms and medications that are used to treat the disorder.

How to Handle Betrayal
How many of you have been unjustly betrayed or misunderstood, and your character has been assassinated? The Lord has even allowed that to test your heart. Are you going to be bitter or sweet?

Greatest Destiny of Man is the Destiny of a Lover
When you ask to receive God's heart, do you think He will automatically give it to you or will He offer situations to display it? It's in our everyday circumstances that we will receive God's heart as we display it toward others He puts in our paths. Every day is an opportunity.

Psychological Testing
A Thematic Appreciation Test uses pictures and subjects tell a story based on what they see. The Structured Clinical Interview uses 12 groups of questions corresponding to the 12 personality disorders. Disorder specific testing is based on assisting diagnosis of a specific psychological disorder.

The MCMI III Test and Rorschach Inkblot Test
The MCMI-III diagnoses personality disorders and Axis I disorders but not other mental health problems. The Rorschach Inkblot test teaches a skilled diagnostician how the one processes information and what is the structure and content of his internal world. Read more to learn details on these tests.

Personality Assessment and the MMPI
Personality assessment is perhaps more an art form than a science. In an attempt to render it as objective and standardized as possible, generations of clinicians came up with psychological tests and structured interviews. Read more for information on MMPI testing and what it means.

A Door Opens Before Us Into God's Presence When We See How He Loves Us
Our capacity to actually dwell in Christ's presence is based upon knowing the true nature of God. If we see Him as a loving Father, we will draw near; if He seems to be a harsh judge, we will withdraw. Indeed, everything that defines us is influenced by our perception of God.

EMDR : A Remarkable Treatment for Trauma
The emotional wounds caused by serious trauma can be very difficult to heal. The difficulty is greater, the more severe and prolonged the traumatic episodes. Yet recovery is often possible, and one interesting technique for enabling recovery is called "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing."
